"Mike was SUPER responsive, I purchased this voucher on Friday, July 3rd (the holiday weekend) and noted that I really desired to get this inspection performed before the following Wednesday as my due diligence was ending that day.  Mike called me that afternoon and was amazingly accommodating and scheduled me for Wednesday morning and promised to have the report to me before my 4pm deadline!  
Today was the inspection and unfortunately, the inspector got delayed due to an unforeseen situation on a job before mine.  Mike responded quickly and professionally, he shuffled the day's remaining appointments to adjust and get the inspector out at 2pm, so I made my deadline!  They went above and beyond for me and I sincerely appreciated it!!!  Brian, the inspector, was apologetic and very professional and detailed, he went over all the findings and helped me understand where I would be financially and if I could actually complete this house purchase comfortably.
Use this vendor with the utmost of confidence, they "care" about their customers and reputation and it shows!  My inspection did yield some necessary work and they quickly got the quote to me today as well!  I will be doing the work with them once I close and have moved in.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.

Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.
