I own several vacation rentals on Nantucket. I was not aware that the lead paint laws apply to short term vacation rentals as well as year round rentals, until I had an issue this summer. Out of the three lead inspectors I contacted, Tom Cosco of Northeast Lead Inspections was the only one that would travel to Nantucket. Tom arranged to come out two days after our initial conversation. Never having been through a lead inspection before, Tom took the time and explained the entire inspection process. He also informed me of various deleading methods that can be used to achieve compliance. Some were more expensive than others, some were less permanent and less expensive.He went over the pros and cons of each. Tom was able to complete the inspections the same day and he emailed me the lead reports the following afternoon. Overall Tom was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual, very professional and had a passion for what he was doing. I would highly recommend Tom Cosco and Northeast Lead inspections.

I own and manage multiple buildings around the Boston area. I have been working with Tom Cosco and Northeast Lead inspections exclusively throughout the past couple of years when it comes to lead inspection, and compliance. His services have been extremely professional, and prompt. His pricing has also been excellent. I trust him to get the job done, completed on time, and for the right price. His knowledge is at the top of the field. I would highly recommend him for his services to anybody who is looking. A+ Lead Inspector!

Tom was great, thought he was going to run a little late because of traffic, called me well in advance to let me know, but was still early. He was fast, prompt, and did his work in a very professional manner. Would recommend Tom highly to anyone interested in having lead paint testing done.

I found Tom through a friend after years of using multiple lead inspectors. I was always changing inspectors for multiple reasons including not showing up, unexpected price changes, lack of professionalism etc. Tom has been a breath of fresh air for me. Extremely professional. I've used Tom on over 30 units so far and i have zero complaints. He's very respectful and does exactly what he says he will. He has saved me a lot of money by being honest. The main thing for me was feeling like he was working with me and not against me. I work with contractors from all trades everyday and Tom is the one i never have to worry about. Every job is done on time and for the exact price he quoted. I give Tom 5 stars and i feel very lucky to have found him
Description of Work: Tom has provided me with initial lead testing and final lead testing on my rental units

Tom was great to work with. I was in the process of house which I intended to rent so I needed to know if there was lead or not. I had a very tight schedule and Tom was extremely flexible. Tom tested all the outside surfaces and then waited almost an hour for the seller to arrive and let us in to test the inside of the house. I was worried the entire time that he would leave but he didn't. He did find some lead-thankfully not too much- and told me about what I needed to do. I hope I don't need this service again but if I do I'll give Northeast Lead Testing a call.
Description of Work: Northeast tested all the surfaces in a two family house I was buying for investment purposes. They tested all the interior surfaces and the exterior surfaces. There was a small amount of lead found so I hired a lead removal company. Tom then coordinated with them to spot test to verify that the house was now leadfree. He was very flexible working with them as well. The cost was $275 for the initial testing and then $425 for the re-test and samples sent to the state.
