"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."

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!"

"I used North Eastern Cleaning in 2011 for work needed at my place of business.  The owner, Victor, was extremely knowledgable, and took his time explaining  what I needed done.  I also recommended him to many of my neighbors, all of whom were also completely satisfied with his work.  I had obtained estimates from other larger, well-known companies which were astronomically high and felt like I was being taken advantage of because of the scope of the problem created by Sandy.  He came in, spent an ample amount of time discussing all the steps that would be involved and even warned me of all the over-pricing that was being done by many of the bigger companies.  He was absolutely right!  His estimate was far more detailed and reasonable compared to the price-gauging of all the other estimates I received.
His crew came in and were respectful, careful with all my belongings, and they even cleaned the 2nd floor because the mold spores had spread to the upstairs.  All in all, I am satisfied and happy with the work that was done and the amount of time it took to complete the job.  I'm glad I went with North Eastern Cleaning for my mold work."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

You can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around $800 to $2,000. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.
