We are a Louisiana licensed Civil Engineering firm which also does home inspections as well as contractor deficiency inspections, hurricane damage assessments and environmental investigations.

"Excellent. The 100-year old home consists of an upper unit and a lower unit. Each unit has its own challenges. Buddy did the inspection and we were very pleased with his thoroughness and attention to detail. He is very easy to work with and has a great deal of knowledge about the quirks of older homes. We learned a lot about the house from him. Highest recommendation."
