"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

Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

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.

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

Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.
