## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Found and confirmed — caught lead paint, retested after correction
- Long-running shop — in business 51 years per BBB
