Rental inspection prep for Lafayette landlords

No. This is prep and repair work, not a pass guarantee. Inspectors work for the city or the housing authority. We do the punch you hired.

An extra unit on the same trip is $129.

Yes. Quotes are free. The published prep numbers are the product. Larger repairs get their own quote.

Lafayette and Tippecanoe inspectors flag the same short list over and over: missing or dead smoke and CO alarms, GFCI outlets that will not hold in kitchens and baths, cracked covers, inoperable windows, missing drip legs or dirty furnace filters on a heating check, leaky faucets, soft floors at a toilet, and handrails that move. Student and long-term rentals near Purdue add the “someone painted over a device” and “the bedroom has no working egress” stories. None of that is exotic. It is a punch list if you catch it before the appointment. We offer inspection prep at $175, prep plus minor repairs at $299, an extra unit on the same trip at $129, and a re-walk after the inspector at $99. The flow is prep → punch the obvious fails → a separate free quote if the repair is bigger → optional re-walk. This is not a pass guarantee. Inspectors work for the city or the housing authority. We do the work you hired. Bring the fail list if you already had a walk. If you have not had one yet, send the address, the inspection date, and photos of the kitchen, bath, and furnace area. Quotes are free. Details and the locked table are on the rental inspection prep landing. Call or text (765) 551-7368.

Greater Lafayette winters punish empty houses. A vacant single-family, duplex, or multi that sits dark through a cold snap is how you get a freeze-burst and a January insurance call. Winterize in September through November — after the last tenant, before the first hard freeze — so the unit is set on purpose instead of hoped-for. We set vacant heat at 55°F. If someone turns it down after we leave, that is outside the visit. Locked pricing: single-family $199, duplex $175, multi $149 per unit. Rush is +$75 when you need the earlier slot and we have one. Spring reopen is $175 / $150 / $129. Winterize + reopen bundles are $349 / $299 / $249. Materials we buy are cost plus 35%. What is not included: repairs we find (quoted separately), mold or water remediation, occupied-unit comfort heat above the vacant setpoint, and a promise the building stays freeze-proof if heat is changed later. The full table, exclusions, and Sept–Nov CTA live on the vacant winterization page. Quotes are free. Call or text (765) 551-7368 and write “winterize” plus the unit count.
