XRF Testing Services, Inc.

We have been planning to do some remodeling in our 70s home and had some cracked/peeling paint. Since we have a baby, I was worried about lead paint exposure.After trying the 3M lead check swabs and getting confusing results, we decided to go with a professional. Itwas totally worth cost and didnt cause any damage. Louis checked every permanent surface of our home. Thankfully lead was only found in our bathtub and some tiles...spots I didn’t even think of! Louis answered my many questions, and I now feel confidant in remodeling. Louis was extremely professional and knowledgeable.

I am not exaggerating. Louis is the most professional person that I have ever done business with. I completely trusted is assessment. I had a million questions for him and he was so patient with me. He never rushed me and was so thorough. I would hire Louis again in a second and would highly recommend him. Thank you Louis!

Just great!  I would recommend XRF for any job you have that might require a certified lead inspection.  My wife was pregnant and with a 2 year old at home I wanted to test our bathroom for lead paint before starting a remodel.  Good thing I called XRF.  The paint and all materials were fine.  Except the tile floor.
Its often overlooked, but the adhesive, not the tile I believe actually had the lead content in it.  The XRF gun provided a diagnostic readout by tested item and area.  I had a company come in with a negative air machine and followed Lead Safe protocols to demo our bathroom.  Peace of mind!

Our daughter's blood test showed borderline elevated lead levels, and we were eager to know how she was being exposed in our 100+ year old home. Louis returned my call for an estimate the same day. He detailed my options, answered my laundry list of questions and used layman's terms. We were waiting for follow-up test results but, based on what Louis explained to me, knew we would opt for the thorough lead inspection (versus a lead assessment) if need be. The inspection would document all the lead sources inside and outside our home using X-ray fluorescence, dust sampling, and soil sampling if there was exposed soil.
We received my daughter's venous test results on a Wednesday and called Louis to ask if he would be able to perform the inspection on Friday, before the long Memorial Day weekend. He was able to accommodate us and showed up promptly at 11. He was extremely courteous and professional, and told us about the problem spots he discovered along the way, as well as our short-term and long-term options. He tested nearly 300 surfaces inside and outside our home and took 2 dust samples over a 3.5 hour period. (We had no exposed soil, so we didn't need a soil test.) He thoroughly understood the technology he was using and could explain it to the engineer in our family, which gave us added confidence that our results would be accurate. We could rest easy over the long weekend knowing how we could reduce exposure to the problem areas in our home immediately and remediate them over the long-term. As promised, Louis delivered the preliminary test when he said he would and sent the final test once the lab results had come back. This was an unexpected expense and, therefore, more than we would have wanted to pay. But given Louis' expertise, professionalism and thoroughness, the $550 charge was reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend XRF Testing Services to anyone who needed it.
