Hire A Trusted Home Inspector For You
Full Home Inspection
At KPM Home Inspections, we take pride in providing full home inspections that give New Orleans homeowners, buyers, and investors the clarity and confidence they need when making important property decisions. Since 2014, we’ve been locally owned and operated right here in the Greater New Orleans area, and we understand the unique challenges our region presents. From historic homes in the Garden District and shotgun-style residences in Mid-City to newer builds in Gentilly and the West Bank, every property has its own story and its own structural needs. Our complete house inspection services are designed to uncover the details behind that story, helping you move forward with confidence.
With our knowledge of local architecture, climate, and soil conditions, we offer residential property inspections that support informed decision-making. Whether you’re preparing to purchase a home, planning a renovation, or simply looking to understand the current condition of your property, our home inspections are thorough, reliable, and tailored to your needs.
Why Full Home Inspections Matter in New Orleans
New Orleans is unlike any other city in the country. Our humid subtropical climate, high rainfall, aging infrastructure, and history of flooding make professional home inspections essential. Homes here face unique risks, including moisture intrusion, foundation movement, termite activity, and roofing wear from intense storms. Because of this, our complete house inspection process leaves no stone unturned by utilizing thermal imaging and infrared cameras to detect possible damage before its visible.
We know how homes in this region are built, how they age, and where common issues tend to appear. Whether you’re buying a Creole cottage near the Bywater or looking at a raised home in Lakeview, our extensive experience ensures you receive an accurate, honest evaluation.
What Our Home Inspection Services Include:
Our full home inspections are comprehensive and detailed. We evaluate the visible and accessible components of the property, providing you with a clear understanding of the home’s condition. We inspect:
Roof
Plumbing
Electrical
Insulation
HVAC
Ventilation
Foundation
Garage
Attic
Appliances
Fireplace
Doors
Windows
Cabinets
Siding
Trim
Because New Orleans homes often require special attention to areas like crawlspaces, roof drainage, and moisture control, we take extra care to document anything that could have long-term implications.
Drone Aerial Photography for Enhanced Accuracy
One of the advantages of working with KPM is our use of state-of-the-art drone aerial photography. This technology allows us to inspect roofs and hard-to-reach exterior areas with precision, especially on homes with steep pitches, multiple stories, or complex layouts. Drone footage can reveal issues such as shingle damage, flashing problems, or gutter blockages without risking safety or missing critical details.
For homes affected by storms or aging materials, aerial imagery adds an extra layer of clarity to our residential property inspections.
203k Consultant Support for Renovations and Repairs
As a trusted 203k consultant, we assist clients planning FHA-approved renovations or repairs. This is especially valuable in New Orleans, where many homeowners update older properties, restore historic structures, or repair storm-related damage. Our guidance helps align your renovation plans with required standards, avoid costly surprises, and keep your project moving smoothly.
If you’re considering significant updates or repairs, our inspection and consulting services give you the information needed to make smart, informed decisions.
Personalized Service Start to Finish
We understand that every home and every buyer has different goals. That’s why we begin with a free consultation to learn about your concerns, priorities, and timeline. Whether you need a quick turnaround on an inspection report, help understanding potential repair costs, or simply want a deep dive into the condition of your property, we tailor our services to you.
Our complete house inspection reports are clear, detailed, and supported with photos, drone imagery, and explanations that make sense. We walk you through everything step by step so you feel supported and never rushed.
