Tom 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!

Tom 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!

Tom Cosco was very good to work with and helped out with a de-leading project at my property. Tom was responsive throughout the project and helped the de-leading company bring the property into compliance.

Tom was very patient with the strict guidelines at my condo management office. He sent all necessary paperwork that was asked of him the day we spoke and made the appointment. Tom arrived 15 minutes early to begin his work and was very efficient. He emailed me the report later that afternoon.

I have contacted Tom Cosco in 2010 and asked him to make a lead inspection in my condo. The work was done very quickly and efficient. Tom was very friendly. Recently, about 9 years later, I needed much more detailed report about the lead inspection for the refinancing of my property. I have contacted Tom again. And he again was very nice and helpful. He found my old file and provided all requested information on time. It is a pleasure to work with such a professional. Tom, thank you for your help!

We hired Tom to do a lead inspection of home on which we had an accepted offer. Tom was able to make an appointment very quickly. He was meticulous in his inspection. He knows all the lead abatement contractors in the area. When the removal project was delayed, getting close to our move-in date, Tom went above and beyond working with the contractor to ensure that our home could be inspected and approved before our move-in date.

Tom was extremely prompt, professional and the turn-around was excellent. Easy to work with, good communicator. He patiently answered questions and provided guidance about the changing state rules, more than once. After the deleading was completed, he showed up early to retest before a storm was scheduled to hit, then called to report same day turnaround from the lab (also due to storm). His fee did go up between Oct 2017 ($395) and Mar 2018 ($450); seemed like a big jump, but I was happy to have the work done well and quickly. Also, easy payment via credit card over phone.

Response from Northeast Lead Inspections Inc
Thank you [Member Name Removed] for your great review. The discrepancy for the reinspection cost is due to the amount of rooms in the unit, which dictates how many dust samples are needed. The unit was larger than I remembered when we spoke in October, so for that I apologize. Bottom line, the price increase was due to the added lab fees. Thanks again for your business and review.

Tom was on time and finished the job in a timely manner. He also effectively explained the new lead laws to us. We were able to get it inspected and re-inspected with no issues. I would definitely use Tom again for the other units in our house.

Tom was professional, prompt, and communicative - he worked with our schedules to find a time that worked for both of us - which we greatly appreciated! Tom provided us with the necessary lead inspection documentation later in the afternoon on the same day of his visit. Great service!

Extremely well. Tom was prompt, respectful, helpful and professional in all aspects. Test results came back within a day. Paper work thorough. He also offered and went out of his way to assist in researching lost information from a previous inspection on another unit performed some twenty years past to clear up the State's data base. I special thank you to Tom for streamlining what could have been a long tedious process.

Tom was fantastic to work with. He talked directly with the contractor to work out the best time to get in to do the inspection. He was always so prompt when I called or emailed, and he turned around the results within a day. He had a very fair price and was certainly worth it for the service.

As a prospective landlord and attorney, I realize that compliance with lead laws is paramount and worrisome. If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional and meticulous lead inspector, I can highly recommend Tom. Tom spent 2 hours testing every surface. I received the detaileid report that evening. Tom also gave advice how best to get the lead out in a cost effective manner. I also emailed follow up questions and received a response within an hour or two. Truly excellent service for a reasonable fee.
