Inspections in Opelousas

What an inspection in Opelousas looks like

Opelousas is one of the oldest cities in Louisiana, with a historic core, established mid-century neighborhoods and newer construction spreading along I-49. That range means an inspection here can involve anything from knob-and-tube-era concerns to first-year builder defects.

Our services in Opelousas include residential home inspections, mold inspections, and commercial building inspections for homeowners, buyers, sellers, investors and property managers. Additional services include pool and spa inspections, thermal imaging, asbestos testing and 4K drone inspections — each available on its own or added to a standard inspection package.

A typical inspection takes approximately 2 to 3 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. Reports are delivered in an easy-to-read electronic format, usually within 24 to 48 hours, and same-day reports are available on request.

If you’re searching for a licensed home inspector in Opelousas, Louisiana, you’ll get detailed reporting and clear communication from start to finish — and you’ll deal with Dylan directly the whole way.

“Reports are easily understood and color coordinated.”

Dylan, as everyone else has mentioned is very thorough. Having a home inspector that also can handle mold inspection like Dylan is a HUGE plus. His reports are easily understood and have color coordination, making a 50 page inspection document something that isn’t a drudgery. I enjoyed his breakdown post-inspection and the conversation that ensued afterward. Outside of his exemplary professionalism, he is an interesting guy. 10 out 10 would refer him to family and friends and a invite to the cookout

“Professional, knowledgeable, and full of good advice.”

Dylan did an excellent job! He was very professional and knowledgeable. He gave us recommendations and advice on what to do next in order to get our home in the right shade whether for selling or best living conditions. We recommend Dylan for anyone who needs a home inspection. Great work Dylan!

“Patient with our many questions.”

Dylan was great to work with. He was very patient with our many questions, and took the time to explain everything. We had to reschedule a few times (seller’s fault), and Dylan stayed communicative throughout the process. We very much recommend these guys.

“Contacted within 20 minutes of requesting a consult.”

As a first time home buyer, I contacted Dylan for my home inspection as he came highly recommended. I was contacted within 20 minutes of requesting a consult and was scheduled for inspection within a few days. Dylan was incredibly prompt, knowledgeable, thorough, and efficient. He was more than willing to address and answer any questions I might have and exceeded all of my expectations. I am more than thankful for him making this such a smooth and easy process. I would absolutely recommend to others without hesitation. Thank you again, Dylan!

“Explained it to where I could understand it.”

Mr. Dylan came and inspected my home today and done an amazing job! He was very polite and went over everything with great detail. After he was done with the inspection he sat down with me and went over anything he found wrong and that needed to be fixed. I highly recommend him. He was on time, took his time and went over everything and explained it to where I could understand it. His prices were great as well. I will definitely use him again if I need another inspection!

“I have done several inspections — nothing beats this service.”

Wow! I have done several inspections and nothing beats the service that Dylan provided. As a real estate investor, I really appreciated Dylan’s punctuality, flexibility, attention to detail and thoroughness. He is second to none. I would definitely recommend Dylan if you’re getting your inspection done with Magnolia. Looking forward to doing more business with this company!
