Affordable Lead Inspections is a Danvers-based operation built around one job: walking through a home with a handheld XRF analyzer to find lead-based paint before a purchase closes. The company describes itself as using handheld XRF analyzers to detect lead-based paint in homes, daycares, and offices, rounding out a visit with dust sample analysis and lead certificates, and it lists a long stretch of Massachusetts towns it serves. The handful of reviews on file point the same direction: patience. One first-time homebuyer described feeling nervous heading into a deleading inspection, and said Gregg — the name that comes up in the reviews — explained the entire process, answered every question, and offered practical, easy-to-follow advice that made an overwhelming step easier to navigate. A shorter, more recent review echoes the same thing: helpful, responsive, and punctual, with everything explained along the way. There isn't much written history to go on yet — just two reviews, both from the past year — so there's little more to weigh. The website describes itself as a Massachusetts-licensed lead paint inspection company, though that's the company's own claim rather than something independently verified here. Worth a call if you're navigating a lead paint inspection or deleading process and want someone to walk you through it in plain language — just confirm current licensing and pricing directly, since neither shows up yet in the public reviews.
Gregg is fantastic. He is super helpful and explains everything very well. He is incredibly responsive and punctual.
We had an amazing experience working with Gregg during our home deleading process. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous and unsure of what to expect, but he went above and beyond every step of the way. He took the time to clearly explain the entire process, answered all of our questions with patience, and offered thoughtful, practical advice that truly helped us make informed decisions. His guidance made something that initially felt overwhelming so much easier to navigate. We’re incredibly grateful for his professionalism, kindness, and expertise. We highly recommend Gregg to anyone needing help with deleading or looking for someone who genuinely cares about the people he’s helping!
