"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

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods. Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:

  • Visual inspection: $150–$400

  • Paint sampling: $200–$600

  • X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

  • Risk assessment: $300–$800

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.
