"Our township now requires a Lead paint Inspection for our rental property in Woodbridge, NJ. We contacted AAA Lead Professionals and they came out the SAME day ! The technician was on time, polite and friendly and provided a thorough inspection using an electronic testing machine. We received the results within 24 hours (ON NEW YEARS DAY !!!) by Donya, the office manager, and now that we have this lead free certification, we do not have to repeat this test again ! We could not be happier with the professionalism, efficiency and how they kept their word on every expectation. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. George LaTorre, property owner, Fords, NJ"
"Very through and arrived early. Took time to answer questions and concerns we brought up as we wanted to make sure the house was up to building code before renovating. Would recommend without hesitation."
"Montclair township has a requirement for landlords to perform a visual lead paint inspection on a regular basis. Christian did this work for me, walking through my apartments and letting me know what spots needed to be touched up with paint. Then he provides a certificate to send to the town. Christian is communicative, reliable, prompt, and professional. He turned the certificate around really fast, too. I can’t recommend him more highly to anyone who needs environmental inspections in their home."

"Bob did detailed job on the house we were looking to buy and provided detailed spreadsheet with lead levels at 100+ locations in the house. Definitely worth the money."
"Nick responded quickly to my call and arranged to come later that same day. He worked carefully and discovered exactly where the problem was. It was very reassuring. Nick is knowledgeable, polite and friendly and really cares about his work. I have no reservations about recommending him with 5 stars."
"Eddy and his team trimmed seven pine trees for us, and the result was outstanding. Excellent service! They were prompt, friendly, and very professional. Very fair price, great work, cleaned up everything (couldn't tell they had even been here, except for the outcome). Eddy really knows his trees, and we recommend Double Tree with our highest recommendation!"
Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts
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
“Testing” can start with your senses: Assessing your water’s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what’s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.
Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.
Some causes of brown well water—like excess tannins or dissolved iron—don’t pose a health risk. In other cases, harmful bacteria might be the culprit. If your well water has suddenly turned brown, it’s a good idea to use a home water test kit to get a better sense of what’s going on with your water. Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.
