DID YOU PASS OR FAIL, OR WAS IT JUST A DEFICIENCY?
Home inspectors do not “pass or fail” the home, like inspectors for the parish or the city. Home inspectors simply point out deficiencies in the home. Some deficiencies may be major and need to be looked at right away. Some deficiencies are categorized as deferred maintenance, for example an inspector may note upgrade plumbing because of some corrosion, these upgrades are not major deficiencies and do not need to be repaired immediately. Home inspectors again do not “pass or fail” a home but report the conditions of the home with a detailed report. An inspection report identifies every problem a home has down to the smallest of problems like too much caulking or an unsealed window.
ALL INSPECTORS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL!
Inspectors have various skills, education, training, licenses, and experience. To become a home inspector Louisiana requires 90 hours of training, 30 hours of platform training, and 10 live home inspections with a board approved inspector. Continuing education is ongoing for every inspector, but NOT every inspector has the plethora of knowledge that Michael does. All of Michael’s licenses and certifications give the homeowner an advantage and piece of mind knowing they hired a knowledgeable, experienced, and detailed-oriented inspector, who will document Michael has Significant knowledge after 12 years of being a licensed home inspector. Every deficiency no matter how minor. This is a PLUS for ALL homeowners new and old.
