Inspector 3755

Ask Jerry Urban to test your house for lead and you apparently get the whole tour: what he is checking, what the results mean, and what happens next. That teaching habit runs through nearly every review of Inspector 3755, a one-person Beverly operation that tests homes and commercial buildings for lead paint and mold across the North Shore and Greater Boston and hands back lab-analyzed results rather than doing removal work itself. The company says it started in 2007; its BBB profile puts the start at 2008, with one employee and Jerry Urban as owner. The written history is short but strikingly consistent — sixteen reviews, every one of them five stars, running from 2023 into 2026. A homeowner writing in April 2026, facing deleading for the first time, described being walked through the whole inspection, then pointed toward reputable deleading companies and helped to make sense of the quote that came back. Older reviews tell the same story in different words: a customer in September 2024 needed a lead inspection urgently and was fitted in the next day, and one writing in October 2023 said an appointment came quickly and the findings were explained on the spot. In November 2023, another described a re-inspection and re-evaluation after deleading work. His reach goes past paint. A LinkedIn newsletter post in January 2024 recounted him coming to an apartment to test family china and crystal for lead, noting that houses are his usual work, and a July 2023 customer wrote about calling him in over mold found in a basement. Two things to pin down before booking. His BBB profile carries an A+ rating, and the same page states plainly that the business is not BBB accredited — two separate facts, neither one cancelling the other. The company also appears at two addresses: BBB lists 7 Merritt St in Marblehead, while its own pages give Beverly. Scope is worth confirming too, since the company presents itself as inspection and testing while that July 2023 reviewer described hiring it for mold removal and remediation. The right call for a buyer, landlord or parent staring down a Massachusetts deleading requirement, or anyone who wants a musty basement tested before they spend money on it. Confirm the address you are dealing with, ask exactly which parts of the job are his and which get handed to a deleading contractor, and check his inspector credential with the state.
