Recent Lead Paint Removal Reviews in Boston
- 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!
- Chilins Painting & RemodelingKevin and his crew always exceed expectations. I have had a fantastic working relationship with Kevin over the past few years. When I need to have some painting/drywall/carpentry work completed he is always one of my first calls. He is always professional, honest, fair and communicates with the customers very well. Kevin and his team comes highly recommended
- 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.
- All Out DeleadingThanks to Peter Larkin and All Out Deleading, I was finally able to close out a long, frustrating saga of getting my lead-paint-covered, dilapidated windows replaced, along with some general deleading. Just to summarize, the work was done quickly and professionally and the windows themselves are of high quality, efficient, (Mercury Excelum EOS+) and look good, too! Peter was very responsive and communicated well throughout the process, and never fed me even an ounce of BS. You might have to remember to call him sometimes, but he's always there when you do. I thought the price was very reasonable for the scope of work (about $17k for 25 double glazed windows plus assorted exterior lead abatement, clean up etc) and was definitely lower than some others I found. If you're going crazy figuring out how to navigate Mass lead laws while also getting some actually good windows out of the process, just call Peter and he'll take care of you. Anyway, read on for the saga, if you're interested. I started the process of finding someone to replace my lead-paint-covered windows last September, and let me tell you I have learned a lot more about state lead remediation requirements than I had ever imagined I would. Let me just caution anyone in the same situation that there are two licenses/certifications that a contractor can have, a "lead safe" and an "authorized deleader," and for windows you need the latter if you want to end up with a certificate of deleading. Anyway, after drudging through the state's PDF list of contractors I ended up contacting one lead remediation firm, who strung me along for a few weeks before ghosting me by November. Then I found someone else, got a quote, took measurements, was all set before discovering they didn't have the "authorized deleader" certification, which would have prevented me from getting a certificate of deleading upon subsequent inspection. So I couldn't use them. Finally I called Peter in late February to come by and take a look by early March, which he did. Then Covid-19 happened and the world fell apart just a bit. Long story short, between waiting out the surge here in Mass and general pandemic related delays, we were back on track in the summer for taking measurements and able to order the windows. In the meantime, a crew was sent over to do some of the exterior work like wrapping the sills in aluminum. Peter's crew started the installation process literally the day after the windows arrived, which was the first week of November (storing them in my garage overnight). Be aware that you'll need to be out of the house for the duration of the work. Window delivery was a Thursday, they started work Friday, by Monday the lead inspector was back in, on Tuesday the results were back from the lab, and on Wednesday we were home. I will say that the floors were cleaner then we left them, and the windows looked great. Throughout this process, Peter either picked up the phone every time I called him, or called me back right after. He was always straight and open with me regarding when things were possible, the reason for any delays, and what potential pitfalls were. He was also extremely knowledgeable about government deleading requirements and could walk me through the details, which believe me, is something you want. And in the end when it came time to pay the final installment, there were no surprises. So if you want to save yourself a big confusing hassle and solve your lead paint problem, call Peter Larkin and let him take care of it
- Northeast Lead Inspections IncTom Cosco from Northeast Lead inspectors was excellent. He was punctual with good customer service. He recommended a contractor who did the work thoroughly and efficiently. Went above and beyond. Would absolutely hire again and recommend to anyone.
- All Out DeleadingPeter, his brother and their crew were professional, skilled and communicative. Peter graciously allowed an earlier start time although we didn’t need it in the end. He was courteous and efficient and his skilled crew finished work in a timely way. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend All Out Deleading
- All Out DeleadingPeter and his crew were superb, affordable, and I highly recommend them without hesitation. Peter was prompt, efficient, professional, flexible, and courteous throughout. Due to COVID-19, work on the exterior had to be suspended for a while, but they returned to finish the job promptly and for both the apartment and then the rest of common areas and exterior they passed the inspection on the first round. Everything was clearly spelled out and designed to minimize effort on our part and inconvenience to tenants. They have done many houses in JP over the years, including, it turned out, another property we were buying years ago. Highly recommend and would definitely use 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.
"I have found working with ASAP very easy and they have been very responsive when I have called to ask questions both perform and after they performed the inspection of my property. I am very satisfied with them and with the professionalism and quality of their services."
MKJ Lead Removal is a full service lead abatement company. We are certified and licensed to remove all lead from your property in a fast, professional manner. A family owned and operated business for over 20 years, we take pride in providing affordable, quality work to EVERY client!
"We had 7 different firms stop by to take a look and give us an estimate. MKJ construction was the last firm we scheduled to come by, and thank god we did. We ended up hiring them, because everything fell into place: they had the lowest cost estimate, the most and best reviews on Angie's list, and they had already done work on a colleague's condo, so we knew we could trust them. We also liked that while others quoted us a higher price for just scraping, MKJ replaced the window and door casings, as well as windows (which we wanted, so that dust doesn't get generated through the process).
<br>
<br>John stopped by first to give an initial estimate, and a couple days later his colleague Darren stopped by to take measurements for windows, and be able to give us an exact quote, so they were the only ones who stopped by twice. Throughout the whole time, John was very reachable, both by email and phone (call or text), and I have never had any issues getting in touch. They were able to fit us in their schedule very soon after the estimate, just about 3 weeks later, as we needed to order a special window for the bathroom which no one carries in stock and takes longer to arrive. They said it would take 5-7 business days for us to be able to move back in, which included their work, as well as the final inspection and waiting for the report, and indeed, we didn't need to wait any longer, even though we asked them not to work on one of the days as a favor to our neighbors. They did a great job, exactly what they promised, and everything looked great, we got new wood window and door frames, a couple replacement windows, and everything looked professionally done. We found the condo as clean as we had left it.
<br>
<br>Overall, we were very happy with the whole process. Learning that we needed to delead and not knowing how much it could cost, was a scary and stressful first stage, but after finding MKJ and hiring them, our worries went away and we knew we would be in good hands. We were happy to know that our place would finally be ready for the baby we are expecting. We would definitely go to them again if we needed any deleading in a future place, or recommend them to any of our friends that need to delead.

"Robert from Contracting Pros was very easy to work with. From initial contact to finishing the job and hailing away all debris. After initially reaching out to Robert he came came by my home with in a few days to give me an estimate. After he emailed the estimate to me I booked him to do the work which he did even faster than the estimated time that it was supposed to take. The siding that he replaced blended right into the existing siding. I am excited to have Robert back to do some more much needed repairs.

"Professional and thorough -- which you'd hope (sometimes in vain!) to get from any provider. What stands out is David's patience and thoroughness in explaining whatever the homeowner might have wanted to understand about the process, safety, etc. Even years later, when I reached out to ask for clarification about particular surfaces and safety, he graciously took the time to offer all the clarification I was looking for. Highly recommend.

"This was an excellent experience. They started work within a week of booking them. They power-washed, scraped, sanded, primed and painted the house and trim. They also painted the downspouts, and we added the task of painting the foundation as well. They also replaced a few rotted boards. The whole team was very professional, but we would like to especially thank Sandro, Vander and Willian for working with us, helping us choose a trim color and keeping us informed every step of the way. We hope to use them next year to do some interior work.
