Master Lead Paint Inspections

Anthony Jakaitis has been testing homes and apartments for lead paint in the Boston area since 1993, and thirty-plus years in, it's still a small family operation — his son Eric now works the inspections alongside him. Based in Weymouth, the company covers Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and its niche shows in who calls: landlords needing a certificate before a new tenant moves in, and first-time homeowners uneasy about what an XRF scan might turn up in an older house. That unease comes up more than once in what people say afterward, and so does how Anthony handles it. A homeowner who used the company in June 2026 described the testing as thorough enough to trust the report, and called the pricing fair — the kind of detail that matters for a service most people only ever need once or twice. On Google, the business sits at 5 stars, though the total behind it is still small: nine ratings. One thing worth knowing before calling: the business isn't BBB accredited, and BBB has issued no rating for it at all. That's not unusual for a sole proprietor this size, but there's also a small mismatch worth flagging — BBB records the business as starting on 1/1/1989, while the company's own site says it was founded in 1993. Neither figure is independently confirmed; they just disagree. For a straightforward lead inspection — especially the kind a landlord needs fast to keep a rental turnover on schedule — this is a long-running, single-focus option on the South Shore. Worth confirming current turnaround time and price directly, since both come up in reviews as strengths but aren't spelled out in detail anywhere public.
