There are 2 types of lead paint inspections that will satisfy the lead paint regulations.

Lead Free certification: Nothing needs to be done to prepare for this inspection. The cost is $425. for a standard home (2-3 bedrooms). The price will increase with square footage due to the amount of time it takes to do the inspection. I test all painted surfaces with an x-ray machine (XRF) to determine the presence of lead paint, including any out buildings within 75 feet. Usually as soon as I find it I switch to the next type of inspection unless the owner’s want to do the renovations to make the property lead free. After certifying the property lead free, it will now be exempt from any future lead paint inspections.

Full Risk Reduction certification (dust test): All painted surfaces must be intact. Stabilize any deteriorated paint inside & outside of the home, including any out buildings within 75 feet. The price is $100 + $15/sample. The price can increase with distance traveled to do the inspection. I take 1-2 samples per room. I test ALL rooms. I always take 1 sample on the floor. The 2nd sample is taken in the window well of a painted window in the room. If there are replacement windows then I only take 1 sample per room. The house should be cleaned – move in ready. This inspection must be done with every tenant turnover.

Turnaround time: Lead Free is instant. Dust test is 1-2 weeks since samples are mailed out to a lab.

Our highly-trained inspectors use the latest equipment to measure noise levels and identify any potential hazards. We’ll work with you to find the best solution for your needs, and we’ll ensure that your property is compliant with all applicable regulations.
