The Southern Source standard
The inspector matters more than the checklist.
Plenty of inspectors say they are thorough. Southern Source shows you what thorough means: better tools, direct answers, and evidence you can actually use before closing.
Meet the inspectorThermal imaging is included
Infrared scanning helps reveal moisture patterns, missing insulation, duct leakage, and overheating electrical components that a visual-only inspection can miss.
Foundation elevations are included
A digital elevation survey adds useful context for foundation movement, one of the biggest concerns buyers face in Louisiana homes.
Your report arrives the same day
Findings are organized by priority with annotated photos, plain-language explanations, and practical recommendations so the next step is obvious.
The conversation does not end onsite
Text Boyce before, during, or after the inspection. You are dealing directly with the owner, not a dispatcher or a rotating inspection crew.
The proof is in the report
You will not have to decode your own inspection.
Every finding gives you the photo, the concern, why it matters, and who should handle it. Color-coded priorities help you separate major defects from ordinary maintenance without turning the report into a panic list.
- Annotated inspection photos
- Clear severity and priority levels
- Plain-English recommendations
- Delivered to your inbox the same day
Meet your inspector
Hey, I'm Boyce. You made the right call.
Buying a home is a big decision, and I know how much is riding on it. When you hire me, you get my full attention. My job is to take my time, look carefully at the things you may not know to look for, and give you a clear, honest picture of the home's visible condition on the day of the inspection.
I've inspected more than 3,500 properties since becoming a licensed Louisiana home inspector in 2018. I know the foundation movement, moisture, roofing, HVAC, storm, stucco, and construction issues that show up in homes around here. I will tell you what matters, what can wait, and what your next step should be.
You will not be handed off to another inspector. I will walk you through the major findings, answer your questions about the report, and make sure you understand what matters before you make your next move.
“I'm your Northshore inspector. I know these homes, I know what matters here, and I'll give you straight answers so you can make your decision with confidence.” Boyce Yarbro

Our report was given to us surprisingly fast for all the detail that was put in it. While reading through it, I felt like I was there with Boyce and he was explaining his evaluation in real time! Even though we currently live out of town, there was great communication with quick updates. Worth every penny!! We are so appreciative.”
