"Outstanding! I wanted a thorough inspection of my home to identify any issues I might be facing now and in the future. I live alone and have little knowledge of home repairs. Dan and Tina put me at ease right away and patiently explained their process. Through the buying and selling of several houses I thought I knew what to expect of a home inspection. Let me just say, this FAR exceeded my expectations! Dan and Tina arrived promptly on time and spent nearly five hours going over my 1900sf home. From the roof to the crawlspace and everything in between, they examined/tested every component of my home. Problems identified were explained in detail with recommendations. At my request, I was also given recommendations for reliable contractors that could perform necessary repairs. All American Inspections could not have been more helpful and I would not hesitate to use them again for a fair, honest and helpful home inspection."

"I was having some allergy issues in our house. Thinking there may be some possible hidden mold in our house, I contacted Duke Restoration. Troy David came over to search the house. He was very thorough, friendly, and helpful doing a complete survey of the house. Not finding any mold, he asked about the filter we had for our air condition and heating system. He suggested that we needed an ultraviolet light. When we told him that we had one in the attic, he went up to check. He found that it had burned out. When he changed it, my allergy issues were much better. He knew exactly how to fix our problem. We were very pleased! "

"Jason assessed the situation over the phone and set up an appointment for the following afternoon. Before the appointment, he wanted to make certain that we had extracted all the water. Otherwise, his course of action would have been to help us schedule the cleanup. Jason also gave us a reasonable expectation of minimum costs prior to the appointment. There was no estimate, but we knew the hourly cost and the cost to run each mold sample. I felt I had some idea of what to expect to pay before I agreed to the appointment. Glenn was running late for the appointment, but notified me in plenty of time so that it did not inconvenience me. Once he arrived, he wasted no time. He quickly assessed the situation and surveyed all the affected areas. He found moisture in a few areas and gave us simple, explicit instructions for how to handle the problem. I was very glad we called him because he was able to reassure us about many of the affected areas, and he found problems (moisture) where I had not thought to look. Glenn's approach was practical, down-to-earth, and efficient. His remedies were quick, effective, and relatively simple. Although his fees sounded costly at first, I believe his expertise saved us money. For instance, we were planning to remove all the sheetrock that was involved in the quick flood, but Glenn's assessment told us we had no moisture or mold problem, and verified that the sheetrock was dry and stable. This, alone, saved us a good bit of time, money, and inconvenience. He followed up with a detailed written report. This was good because we needed something to show insurance. In our case, wood floors had been damaged in the flood, and insurance photographs did not show the damage. Glenn's report verified that the floors needed to be removed. Additionally, his report gave us written instructions for continuing the cleanup. When I realized he charged an hourly rate that sounded rather steep, I was very careful about moving things along during Glenn's appointment. However, he did not waste any time. We kept it under an hour and I still felt I got my money's worth. Most of all, I got much-needed peace of mind that I wasn't going to be living in a mold-infested house for years to come. As for the overall value: I'm not sure how to value an expert opinion. Glenn did not DO the work, although I believe his company can provide that service. However, he was very encouraging to us while were doing the work ourselves. In my case, he helped to assure me that I had done the work properly and gave me a course of action to complete the work. I needed that kind of advice, because I have never dealt with standing water or flooding before. I hope I never do again, but if I do... I'll certainly call RTC."

"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."

The LASLBC requires we attend so many hours of pre-approved/certified continuing education every year along with our annual license renewal. Failure to comply with these strict guidelines results in rejection of the applicant’s license renewal. The LASLBC also checks references before issuing a license. Please feel free to call the LASLBC in Baton Rouge and ask about our standing in any of the above areas.

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Covington, LA

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. Many pre-1980 houses also contain lead in their plumbing and decorative materials, so age alone is a significant red flag. Older homes near industrial areas face an even higher risk. Because you can’t confirm lead by sight, scheduling a test is the safest way to protect your family.

In older houses, lead can lurk in painted trim, window sashes, soil around the foundation, plumbing pipes, and even vintage hardware. The metal is toxic, and children and pregnant women are most at risk. Exposure can trigger developmental delays, learning problems, and organ damage. Because the EPA links even low levels to serious health effects, test every suspected surface and address any hazards right away.

A positive test means lead is present somewhere you can touch, breathe, or disturb. The next step is a full risk assessment to map exactly where the hazard lies and outline the safest fix: encapsulation, enclosure, or full removal. Repairs start at $1,000 but can exceed $10,000 for complete elimination, so act quickly and hire certified pros to keep your family safe.

EPA lead certification proves that inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement contractors follow federal safety rules under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program. The credential costs an average of $300, and certified professionals can legally test, contain, or remove lead hazards. Hiring a certified pro protects you from fines and ensures the work meets strict health standards.

Lead-based paint looks no different from any other paint, so you can’t identify it by color or sheen. Even flawless walls may hide it. If paint starts chipping, flaking, or peeling, schedule a professional test right away. Only laboratory-grade testing confirms lead and guides the safest fix for your home.
