Dan perfomed the inspection in about 3 hours. I met him at the house near the end of his inspection. He was very thorough, professional, and friendly. He was very willing to go over any of the significant issues he found during the inspection and discussed possible solutions or the significance of the issue. He also discovered on his last inspection for me that the home was actually older than it was advertised because the age of the hot water heaters (while in good operating condition) were original and aged the house at least 3 years older than first thought. I was very happy with Dan's work and would use him again.
Description of Work: Dan performed a couple of home inpsections for me in the March / April timeframe. In both cases, he performed a thorough evaluation of the home. He testedf or water leaks, all major systems, a visual inspection of the structure, roof, landscaping, etc. When a problem was found he worked diligently to find the cause. I met him at the property and he went over any of the siginificantl issues he found. He proivded an electronic report of the inspection within a day after performing the job.

My Realator connected me with this company with high recommendations. We met at the house I am buying and he performed the inspection then explained in detail all of his findings, as well as recommendations on upkeep of the home. He then emailed my Realator and I the home inspection report, with details and photos, in a timely manor.
Description of Work: Dan was the inspector I used when buying my first home.He was very through and explained everything to me so I understood. His price was very good and he was very personable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone who needs any type of home inspection.

We paid Dan to inspect a home prior to purchase. During the exam he did a thorough testing of the walls for moisture and insulation with a special tool. This cost extra even though we did not ask for it. But Worse than that, the report included no results from the findings. Also discovered were faulty outlets, the slop of the floor and leaks in windows, but again the report included none of these findings, only vaugeries. Dan was very polite, and I don't think he had negative intentions, I just think you need to be very clear with him as to what kind of information you want in the report. Also, in hindsight, there are several things wrong with this house that he should have caught. Other professionals come over and see these things right away.

Dan was referred to me by a co-worker as being a very conscientious home inspector. I was on a very tight schedule and needed the inspection and the report turned in as quickly as possible. I called Dan and he was able to come out on the date that I requested even though I was not able to give him much notice. I asked that he supply me with the finished report within 1 day. Not only did he do a very complete inspection of the home he was also able to furnish me with the report the next day. I had no problems reaching him if I had any questions regarding the inspection. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Did a home inspection for one of my clients. Checked all of the electrical, plumbing and overall condition of the property in question. Gave me a detailed report and was available to be if I had any questions after the inspection was completed.

Dan inspected multiple homes during our search and provided very detailed and thorough reports which helped us make a much more informed decision. At least two homes that we were VERY interested in, Dan found defects that had not been disclosed and they were deal breakers. I was impressed with not only the timely delivery of the reports but also the technology that he used throughout the inspection to detect things that may have been overlooked by the human eye alone. With his technology he was able to determine, in one home, that there had been previous water damage underneath the newly laid floors and also that there were plumbing issues that would have been extremely expensive to repair. Ultimately, Dan helped us find the perfect home, for us and we have been living here for a couple of years without problems. He was honest, patient and fair in his pricing throughout our search. I would recommend his company to anyone looking to purchase a home!
Description of Work: Dan inspected plumbing, structure, foundation, water damage, electrical, insulation, potential future failures of any and all systems within the homes.

I was happy with the job. I will recommend Dan to others.
Description of Work: Full home inspection. Dan inspected the roof, foundation, structure, stucco, siding and heating and cooling. He also did an infrared scan to check for cold spots and moisture. What made our inspection worth the price was that the infrared scan identified leaking windows. Many of the items identified are easy to fix and might have gone unnoticed, but the things he found showed how thorough the job was.

I was very pleased. i recently hired Dan for a second time to inspect the home we are buying now.
Description of Work: Dan did a full home inspection on a home my wife and I were interested in buying. The inspection pointed out numerous areas of concern in the home. We ultimately walked away from the home, but the inspection would have saved us 2 to 3 times the cost of the repairs that were found. I recommend the infrared inspection. 2 areas showed moisture with this method and would have probably been overlooked until larger issues arose. Dan checked all of the outlets, a/c, water heater, insulation quality, water heaters, appliances, exterior, roof, and many other aspects of the home. Among the issues found were the jaccuzzi tub motor did not work, a nail on the roof was rusted and could have caused a leak, mold in the a/c vents, excess moisture around a/c vents, and missing caulk around stucco.

From my past experience ( 3x) with home inspections, I have to rate Dan' Inspection as "top-of-line." Dan and his helper were prompt , cheerful and courteous. Dan was very professional and took his time to review both major and minor findings with both the seller and myself as the buyer, after the inspection. He was very professional when making his presentation and stood behind facts not speculations. Dan was very prompt ( that evening) with his final written report that was detailed with many pictures of both major and minor findings.

As above. A great experience well worth the expenditure.
Description of Work: I have owned an Acadian style home, built in the late '60s, that I lived in for about 19 years, then rented out for 5 yrs. I knew that the home had some structural issues and wanted it evaluated before I sank money into repairs and renovations, as I intend to live there again. Dan Paradela came out and did a thorough inspection . He provided me with lots of useful suggestions to deal with known issues and I was delighted to find out that some of my homes problems were not as serious as I had feared and that there were no unknown issues with the property. I can now prioritize my repairs and renovations and not have to fear discovering any major deficits along the way. Dan was prompt, professional, courteous, thorough and undoubtedly saved me money in the long run. He inspected under the house, up on the roof and in the attic and crawl spaces. He evaluated, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, roofing, and checked the overall levelness of the floors to check for settling of the foundation. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him without reservation.

Overall my experience with All American Home Inspectors was great. Ken was a half hour late but then he had to come over the causeway during rush hour. He did everything I asked him to do. He also answered all my questions and gave me additional information and help.
Description of Work: Did mold inspection and moisture detection following damage from roof leaks. Ken was very professional and helpful. I received a detailed mold report within a week which luckily was fine. Now I know I don't have to rip out any of my wall or ceiling to repair the damage. Ken also gave me advice on mold products and the names of people I could contact to work on the repairs. He is very professional and seems genuinely interested in helping his clients. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr. Paradela arrived just a few minutes late, understandable since he was coming from the Northshore and the Causeway Bridge is notorious for delaying anyone's arrival times. He is very genial, courteous, and professional. His inspection of the property began immediately and many photographs were taken. A few minutes after he arrived, a state licensed exterminator showed up as well. The exterminator began inspection under the house and within two minutes returned with a clod of dirt full of Formosan termites. Mr. Paradela also immediately recognized the presence of black mold on and within the walls as well as significant structural damage. Inspection continued throughout the house, under the house, and in the attic. Both he and the exterminator were extremely thorough. Within 36-hours of the inspection, I received a 22-page report complete with many photos. I absolutely recommend Mr. Paradela and All-American without hesitaton.
Description of Work: Inspection of a 100+ year old shotgun double in the 8th Ward neighborhood of New Orleans was requested. Asked to check for mold, structural integrity, electrical safety, and termite infestation. Mr. Paradela checked all as requested although termite inspection was performed by a separate, state licensed entity.

First, I am a resident of St. Louis MO and had to fly into New Orleans to have my mother's home inspected. I contacted Dan because his company was on Angie's list with a high rating. Traveling from out of town was concerning, as there was little time to reschedule and / or find a replacement inspector if he canceled. My concerns were addressed as Dan scheduled my appointment. He confirmed the day before my flight and offered his cell number in case there were any changes. Dan was very personable and professional. He arrived to the site on time and had his plumbing crew meet him at the job site. He walked through the house with care and listened to all of the questions I had about the house and items needed to be remediated prior to the official inspection. Dan reviewed the home for approximately 3 hours. He provided video of the plumbing and even went into the attic (yuck) and under the house (double yuck). He had a professional contractor come out to complete estimates on the needed repairs (per my request). He summarized and prioritized the repairs, even noting items that needed repairs but could be delayed to a later time. Dan is sincere about his inspections and gave many ideas on how to renovate our house. I would recommend him to anyone who needed an honest home inspection.

Dan was a little late for the appointment but called to let us know. His earlier appointment was in Belle Chasse and ours was in Destrehan. Dan was very thorough and physically pointed out some issues to us as well as documenting them in his printed report. He noticed some roofing issues and recommended getting a roofing professional out there. Dan's catch on the roof resulted in a $10K redcution in sales price.

Mr. Dan Paradela was extremely professional, personable and very knowledgeable. Although we hired him to do a mold inspection only, he gave us a kind of free preliminary house inspection on problems he could easily identify at first glance. He gave us a wealth of information that will probably end up saving us hundreds if not thousands of dollars. He really cares about his customers and wants the best for them. I normally do not write reviews unless I want to warn people about how god aweful someone is. However, we were so impressed with Mr. Paradela that we felt he merited a special, glowing review, just to show our appreciation.
Description of Work: We hired All American Home Inspections to identify the source of an on-going, persistent mold problem. Mr. Dan Paradela went in and identified what he believed to be the source of the mold. He advised that the extent of the mold could not be fully determined until portions of the wall be removed and further testing be done. After speaking to him about our concerns, he calmed a lot of our fears and made the task of getting rid of the problem seem much more manageable.

Called Dan the day before to set up a mold inspection at our house. Dan was very accommodating and provided the late afternoon appointment I required. We were a bit concerned that we may have had a serious mold issue, but Dan basically held our hand through the process. He did both a visual inspection and a sample collection procedure. He was pretty sure that we did not have a serious problem and kept us calm. He expedited the sample shipment to the lab which confirmed two days later that his initial instinct was correct. While at the house, Dan put on his home inspection hat and pointed out a few other issues we may want to address - at no charge. He is great at his profession and has a very likeable personality. He's got a great "bedside" manner. You can tell that he loves his profession and wants nothing but the best for his customers. Just a great experience for us.
