## The honest read

Mickie Lemay has been testing homes in north-central Massachusetts for lead paint for years — her own site says since 2006, though BBB's file on the business only goes back to 2016. Either way, she's a sole proprietor working roughly a 40-mile radius out of Lunenburg, handling initial inspections, reinspections, Section 8 inspections and the walkthrough education visits landlords sometimes need.

The reviews, going back to 2016, describe the same thing over and over: she's fast, thorough, and explains what she finds in plain language. One 2020 review says she wouldn't sign off on a deleading job until it met her own standard, and would charge the contractor, not the homeowner, to come back if it didn't. A 2024 reviewer who was nervous about lead remediation says her explanations made the process straightforward, and more than one customer says she showed up and finished the inspection within a day of calling.

One 2017 review, still rated four stars, says the cost came in higher than expected — the only complaint on file in nearly a decade of reviews.

For a lead paint inspection anywhere in the greater Fitchburg-Leominster area, a long, consistent record of thorough, fast work makes her a solid choice — just confirm pricing up front given that one older account.

**Strengths:**
- Top marks everywhere — A+ BBB, 4.9 on Angi/HomeAdvisor, 5.0 on Google
- Holds work to standard — makes deleaders redo failed jobs at their cost
- Fast turnaround — reviewers cite next-day inspections repeatedly
- Explains it clearly — makes an intimidating process feel manageable

**Concerns:**
- Pricing complaint — a 2017 review says the cost ran higher than expected

**Where sources disagree:**
- Its own website says the company was founded in 2006, while its BBB listing states the business has been operating since February 2016
