Recent Lead Paint Removal Reviews in Boston
- M & M Lead Inspectional Services, LLC.I had my home inspected for lead and I couldn’t be more happier the gentleman was very helpful answering all my questions and concerns and went over the report with me when the inspection was over
- M & M Lead Inspectional Services, LLC.Great! Gary has helped me multiple times. Always on time, thorough and very professional! I’d hire him again and recommend without hesitation!
- M & M Lead Inspectional Services, LLC.Everything worked out better than I could have expected. Very stressful due to children with high lead levels. The inspection was very detailed and the inspector provided guidance from beginning to end. Very professional and dependable. Very happy with this company.
- All Out DeleadingI needed de-leading and containment done on exterior window sills, exterior front porch ceiling, and minor interior work (including one door jamb that needed scraping). I also had 8 windows I wanted to replace as part of the project, and had a particular brand and model in mind. Peter had a fair and reasonable price that he quoted me in October 2021. When he did the job in October 2022, he kept the same price he originally quoted me. I supplied the windows myself; and even though Peter had never worked with those particular windows before, he was able to install them nicely. The lead re-inspection went through without any issues. Peter also took care of any remaining issues
- Northeast Lead Inspections IncTom was wonderful--we had a packed timeline as we had to move in within 3 weeks of closing; he was willing to meet us the day after closing, and then worked with our deleading company to be available for the reinspection the moment they completed their work. We're so appreciative for the promptness!
- All Out DeleadingThis is the third time I have hired Peter Larkin, and he did not disappoint! Just before leaving on a vacation of several weeks to the West, my tenant informed me that she is 20 weeks pregnant. I was certain that the 1900s 2 BR 1 BA condo we were renting to the couple had lead in it, so I obtained a lead inspection from ASAP Environmental (also excellent) and found that there was a small amount of lead in the kitchen windowsill and 2 doorjambs that needed removal. In the building common areas, there was also a small amount of lead in the basement doorjamb and wainscoting touch-up needed in the stairwell. Despite recently having experienced a death in his family, Peter was able to get our job completely done (lead paint removal and repainting), re-inspected, and in full compliance prior to my tenant's return. The job passed on the first reinspection, and the crew left everything neat and tidy. I am so grateful for his reasonable pricing and his professionalism
- Northeast Lead Inspections IncTom did an excellent job inspecting my property for lead. From the time I reached out, it took only two days for him to schedule, inspect, and deliver the reports. Highly recommend for anyone looking for lead inspections in the Boston area!
- All Out DeleadingPeter is great! He was easy to work with and very responsive, and he really bent over backwards to help us out. He shuffled his schedule around to do some deleading for us on short notice, and he got it done perfectly. We called him on a Thursday, gave him the lead inspection report on the following Monday, and he was able to do the work on that Wednesday and Thursday! (Which, to be clear, was only legally possible because the unit was unoccupied. Otherwise there is a waiting period.) Although he surely could have charged a premium given the timing, his quote was more affordable than quotes from two other companies (and those companies couldn't do the work until later in the month). When the crew from All Out Deleading came to do the work, they were polite and very efficient, and Peter's brother Brian was a thoughtful and friendly supervisor. They scraped carefully and thoroughly, and they left the scraped surfaces bare and smooth with the curves and edges well preserved. Peter also instilled confidence by explaining everything well, being cautious, and not overpromising. Before taking the job, he was very careful to explain that there is always a small chance of the dust wipe test not passing after deleading work. He wanted to make sure that we had a contingency plan for where to stay if one of the wipes did not pass and his crew needed to take another day to come back and do more cleaning. Of course, the inspection and the wipes passed with no trouble, but I appreciated his care, foresight, and thoughtfulness in making sure to consider all possible outcomes that might affect us, even if they were unlikely. he also always answered the phone or called back quickly and stayed on top of any follow up. Bottom line: when we do some more deleading in a few months, we will absolutely be calling him
- Harvard Environmental ServicesGary was very professional , explained the entire process to us, good communication and price. Highly recomend.
- ASAP Environmental IncAfter initial conversations with John, I hired ASAP to complete my lead inspection for a recent property that I acquired. John was able to answer all my questions and address all of my concerns. Chris came out to complete the inspection within 48 hrs of my request. He was very thorough in his report, which I had in my hands in less than two days. I was able to hand over the report to the removal company that I ended up hiring. When the job was complete, Chris came back out within 48 hrs of the request to complete the reinspection and tests. I have no concerns with ASAP and would definitely use them in the future. They were very quick to respond to me and address all of my questions and concerns

"Peter was wonderful! He even reached out to my lead inspector for clarification on a couple locations. Everything was done very quickly and I was kept informed. We'll happily use him again!"
Lead paint can be found in almost 75% of all housing built before 1978 and a dangerous mold infestation could exist in any home no matter how old the home is. A professional inspection from ASAP Environmental is the best way to protect yourself before you buy.
"We had a pipe break in our kitchen ceiling and an issue with condo owners that felt “the mold was everywhere”. Christopher was amazingly knowledgeable and explained all of the issues without being an alarmist putting us all at ease and did a thorough inspection. As an architect for 40 years he was the best mold expert that I have met and would highly recommend them.

"Sam is an amazing guy, he really knows what he is doing. I was having problems with the condo association management not checking mold in my unit for a year and he checked it out and got the ball rolling in a day. We have been trying for a year to get things fixed and he was able to do it in a day—we are so grateful. My condo association management finally took it seriously, and started working on my house. We didn’t have to continue living with the mold. None of this would have been possible without his wonderful inspection skills and incredible help! He’s a wonderful person who showed real concern about our wellbeing. He worked his magic and just like that, work started getting done. I would highly recommend him!

"RC Works did two projects for us:
1. Rebuilt the swing doors on our garage and painted the garage
2. Replaced stairs and banister
They responded to my phone call and gave an honest estimate and quickly scheduled the work. The garage was done first and they did a fantastic job. The team was professional, respecting and cleaning the property,
The garage was an eyesore and the work they did made a dramatic difference. They added small details at our request at no charge. After seeing their work we discussed replacing the stairs.
They were very flexible and easy to work with. RC Works totally replaced our stairs and banister and we couldn't be happier with the finished product.
Overall fantastic, prompt, hard working and caring contractor. Absolutely will work with them again. RC Works is Highly Recommended.
