Get matched with top toxic lead testers in Lawrence, MA

"Produced a thorough review and recommendations for removing lead paint"

"Jason came out to determine if we had mold in our attic based on some black marks we were seeing on our plywood, a contractor doing some work mentioned that it may be mold and that we should have it checked. We had another mold inspection company come out, confirm on visual inspection it was mold, comment they did not need to do an air test as there was no question, took some samples of the mold itself and our air ducts and said they would be in touch the next day with results. In the meantime, they sent their remediation person to give us a proposal for remediating it. We then never heard from them with the results and also had wanted to get another opinion and proposal to compare cost of proposals. This other company also charged us $ upon inspection and did not deliver the results. Therefore, we called up indoor environment (we were also looking for a "greener" option). Jason came out the next day to take a look at our mold to provide a remediation proposal. He stated the inspection for remediation is no charge unless he does air quality tests and then clearly explained what the charge would be for a single test and the control test. He arrived on time and took a look in our attic and said that we did not have a mold problem that it was just water staining. He was very confident about this and confirmed that we did not have a mold problem. He was very detailed in his explanations and did not rush out given that he no longer had a "job" to remediate. He spent a good deal of time with us answering all of our questions. If you need somebody you can trust, please call Indoor Environmental, we feel that they are in the business for the right reasons and very trustworthy. It was refreshing after what we had been though to feel that there are folks out there you can rely on during a vulnerable and stressful time."

"We were selling our house and the radon test came back high so we needed quick and effective service. The appointment was scheduled a week from our call. The technician arrived on time and helped identify the best location for the system that was both effective and as aesthetic as possible. The install went quickly and he took the time to explain how it worked and what we should look for in terms of monitoring and maintenance. Overall, it was a good experience."

"Was best deal I found (after calling 3 others too) and provided a very thorough check of the house. each room was checked in every conceivable way, inside and out, and a clear report was provided which we can show to any de-leading company we might work with. Nice guy too, very communicative. <br />"

"Who woulda thunk someone would have such a passion for lead testing, but this guy does! He was on time, thorough, professional, and I would definitely recommend him. He was especially good at providing an education as he went - explained what he was doing and why, explained compliance with codes and laws, lead paint usage and effects, etc. I especially appreciated that he squeezed us in since we were under a tight deadline. Aside from the lead test itself, he was a very pleasant and interesting person and I was almost sorry when the test was over, but I guess it's kind of weird to ask your lead tester if he wants to stay for coffee!"

"Powers Environmental was the perfect choice for our lead inspection. Not only was Bob incredibly knowledgeable, but he also came out on short notice and was very thorough. He provided a full report in under 24 hours. We would recommend and use his services again."

"Our experience with Titan Lead Testing was fantastic. Dave returned my phone call promptly and was able to schedule an inspection for the next day, which was great. He showed up on time and was very personable. He did an incredibly thorough job both in testing our home and in communicating how to interpret the results. This is not our first experience with the lead abatement process, as we went through it for our apartment previously, and even so his guidance was very helpful. When it turned out we did have some lead abatement to do, he provided some leads on companies to get in touch with for removal and also collected dust samples to give us a sense of what we were dealing with. 110% recommend. <br />"

"This is the third time I have hired Peter Larkin, and he did not disappoint! Just before leaving on a vacation of several weeks to the West, my tenant informed me that she is 20 weeks pregnant. I was certain that the 1900s 2 BR 1 BA condo we were renting to the couple had lead in it, so I obtained a lead inspection from ASAP Environmental (also excellent) and found that there was a small amount of lead in the kitchen windowsill and 2 doorjambs that needed removal. In the building common areas, there was also a small amount of lead in the basement doorjamb and wainscoting touch-up needed in the stairwell. Despite recently having experienced a death in his family, Peter was able to get our job completely done (lead paint removal and repainting), re-inspected, and in full compliance prior to my tenant's return. The job passed on the first reinspection, and the crew left everything neat and tidy. I am so grateful for his reasonable pricing and his professionalism."

"We were recommended to Harvard Environmental by our realtor. We called them in a classic “first time homeowner DIY project panic” state of mind, and before even talking about scheduling a visit, they took some time to explain likely risks and soothe our nerves. A comprehensive inspection was performed and a similarly comprehensive report was delivered. Harvard Environmental then took time to explain each type of lead hazard present in our home, and helped us find a contractor to assist in the removal and remediation. Their attention to detail and responsiveness were very appreciated by two frazzled homeowners, and we very much recommend their services!"

"Alpine Environmental did an amazing job.  They took samples of our unique interior trim, took them back to their shop, and cut new lumber so everything looks the same as when it was built and exactly matches and lines up with the original pieces which were left in place.  Also, our house has few, if any, 90-degree angles, so the foreman personally cut and installed the chair rail in several rooms.  Everything came out perfectly. <br /> One regret:  We decided not to hire the painting company Alpine recommended.  We instead hired a company that had given us a significantly lower estimate.  They did an okay job, but they didn't always show up on the days they said they would, they took much longer to complete and---because they "ran into unexpected issues,"---they ended up costing a little more than the guaranteed estimate from Alpine's people, who were very experienced with repainting homes after the de-leading process. <br /> I have repeatedly recommended Alpine.  I have heard they also do non-lead-related home improvement projects.  I would hire Alpine again in a heartbeat. <br />"
