"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

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.

Lead exposure poses significant health risks, including neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders, especially critical in young children and fetuses.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
