Verified record
David & Son Lead Inspections is a Lynn-based lead paint inspection outfit that's been doing this work for 51 years, according to its BBB profile, which also gives the company an A+ letter grade (the business isn't BBB-accredited, but the grade reflects its public complaint record). The two written reviews on file both describe care around a genuinely stressful decision. In a 2023 review, a landlord called David in for an apartment being rented to a pregnant tenant worried about lead exposure; he explained the inspection process in detail, found lead paint on the window sills, and walked the owner through the correction — the couple did the abatement work themselves after taking the required training — then came back quickly to retest once it was done, and the samples came back clean. In a 2021 review, a homeowner described David and a colleague, Anne, as respectful, professional, and easygoing through a lead inspection they had deliberated over for a long time given the stakes; in that case, no lead turned up. There isn't a broader written record to draw on beyond those two accounts, so it's worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly before booking.
I just used David for one apartment that I rented to a young couple. The lady is pregnant, they're worrying about lead paint. So I called David, he's very good, explaining about the inspection wit details. Then he scheduled time with me, and showed up on time. After the inspection, the apartment has lead paint on Window sills need to be corrected. David gave us clear direction on how to do it. My husband and I took the training, did the work. We called David for the inspection, he helped us and rescheduled very quick. The test samples were all good, my tenants can be back to the apartment soon. From the whole process, I really appreciate David's expertise, his fast response, and prompt action. I'll recommend him to anyone if needs to do the lead paint inspection.
David and Anne came to our apartment a few weeks ago to do a thorough lead inspection. They were very respectful of our space, professional, and easygoing. We deliberated for a long time before getting the lead inspection, because it is a big decision with consequences. They were very knowledgeable and fair in helping us decide for ourselves. I’m so glad that we went with them. In the end, they didn’t find any lead in our apartment!
