Accutest Lead Inspections

Lead Testing & Removal

About us

I make sure that I treat any potential customer the same way I would like to be treated if I were to have a lead inspection done. I clearly try to explain what the person can do to help themselves prepare for the inspection, so that they are aware of what I will be looking for ( or any lead paint inspector ) when the inspection occurs. I am a sole proprietor so I am not sending someone to the jobsite that you have never spoken to before. My inspection fee is $100 per unit ( house or apartment )and $12 per dust wipe.Area's outside of the Baltimore Metro area may require an additional $25 fee. Every unit is required to have at least 1 dust wipe per room if you have all replacement windows. Any rooms that have non-replacement windows require a 2nd dust wipe. Feel free to call and ask questions for more detailed information. I am currently certified by the MDE and you can find my business listed on their website. Please call as far ahead of the needed inspection date so that you have time to prepare for it. Unfortunately, any work conducted outside of the Baltimore Metro area, there will be a trip fee included.

Everything went smoothly. The inspector had me execute remedial lead removal on a few fireplace face bricks that tested positive. I did that and was issued a Lead Free certificate, filed with MD Dept. of the Environment.

Dave was super quick to call me back and was extremely generous with his time. My wife, daughter, and I live in a house built in 1902, so naturally I had some concerns about lead paint. Dave shared his expertise freely and provided some great advice on how to deal with the potential for lead paint hazards in my home. If I ever have a need for Dave's lead inspection services in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him.

Great landlord, Great house, Great neighborhood. Can't beat that. As soon as I walked in I wished I had a photographic memory to remember some of his design idea's for my own home. Customer even moved cones blocking my car in. Thank you so much for the kind review.

Agreed with the other reviews. David did a great job. More important was that he told me that he was performing an inspection that must be re-done every year, and that I could contact another firm to do a lead-free certification which is done once and good forever.

After a brief conversation over email, I learned that the lead tests that Accutest performs would probably not be the best fit for my specific needs (due to the building age/type etc), but several other vendors that provide those other tests were provided. Very honest and professional assessment, and much appreciated!

I called Accutest because I needed lead inspection on my 1963 rental property, as determined by the new state regulation. I had a productive conversation with David in which he asked me about the building materials and the condition of the home. In turn, he answered all my questions regarding lead testing, including the types of tests, preparation before a test, the process to providing the report to the State. In the end he believes that my house is lead free and recommended that I contact LeadTec to perform a test that he could not perform. His recommendation turned out to be appropriate and correct. I really appreciated David's honesty and work ethics, as he could have performed his tests so he could make the money. I'm sorry that I did not get to work any more with him but I certainly recommend him!

I would give him very high marks, he did a good job. He was very nice, courteous, and he identified the problem that we had, and we could fix it. It would have cost us more, if hehadn't identified it. He identified that there was lead issue in the paint.

I INITIALLY CALLED THE OWNER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND HE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN GIVING INFORMATION AS TO HOW TO PREPARE FOR A LEAD INSPECTION. HE ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. HE ARRIVED ON TIME AND WAS VERY PERSONABLE DURING THE INSPECTION AND EXPLAINED ALL THE STEPS AS HE WENT FROM ROOM TO ROOM COLLECTING DATA FOR THE LAB. HE CALLED ME WITH THE RESULTS AS HE SAID HE WOULD SO I WOULDN'T WORRY. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN SINCE THE HOUSE IS A RENTAL AND THESE INSPECTIONS NEED TO BE DONE WITH EACH CHANGE OF TENANT.

The home owner made this job very easy for me. The home was in perfect condition and was as clean as I have ever seen a rental property. It was a pleasure driving to a part of the state that I don't get to visit often, and it was an inspection that I actually enjoyed doing. Thank you for the kind review.

David is a great guy that runs an honest and reliable business. He's a no nonsense professional that will get in, get the job done and leave the property in the same shape and order he found it in. He's punctual and friendly to work with. He charges the industry standard and won't rip you off. Best of all, he wants you to pass the inspection and will do whatever it takes, within the framwork of what is legal and legitimate, to give you tips and advise to improve the odds of a favorable outcome while also making sure your property is safe and sound for yourself or your tenants. I was extremely please with his service and would recommend him to anyone looking for a hassle-free experience.

The customer wasn't obligated to do a lead inspection because of the year his house was built. He was totally concerned that his tenants children would be safe and went ahead and did it anyway. This is someone who really cares about the well being of others. I applaud, and respect anyone like this customer. Thank you for your kind review.

During my first phone call Dave took the time to explain the process and to make sure I had the property ready for inspection. He explained the process and pricing. He further explained how to obtain my tracking number from MDE. He arrived on time and again explained everything he was going to do. He was very patient in answering my questions. He took about 30 minutes to complete his inspection. He called me three business days later with the results and mailed them the same day.
Description of Work: Rental property owners are required to have their properties inspected for lead each time a tenant changes. In this situation I turned to Angie's List to find an inspector. I found Accutest's listing. The reviews from his clients caused me to call them.

This was the second time I used David Hronski and Accutest. Both times I found him punctual, friendly, happy to explain the process and expected next steps. There was no aspect of his service which I found lacking. He even had a Four Square payment attachment for his iPhone to accept credit cards on site. I will use him for as long as I need led inspection service. I give him my highest recommendation.

I called David to ask about lead paint & abatement services. I explained the situation of our home, and while David recommended we go another route, he still took time out of his day to really understand my concerns and our situation, and made some very helpful recommendations for easy ways to keep our house clean & safe for our kids. I recommend David to anyone who's looking for lead testing services. David is the first person you should call.

I called David to set up an appointment for an inspection of our condo and he could not have been more helpful! We have a somewhat unique situation so he suggested we go another route, but he still spent 20 minute on the phone with me listening to my concerns, answering questions, calming me down and giving me advice (even though he knew we were not going to use his service.) He was honest, knowledgable, friendly and gave me a bunch of ideas of how to easily and more affordably deal with our situation. I appreciate so much that he took the time to talk to me and recommend anyone in the market for lead testing and removal start by giving him a call.

I own several rental properties and because the properties were built pre-1970s I make sure to have the properties lead tested before a new tenant moves in. I have used ACCUTEST LEAD INSPECTIONS on numerous occasions and have always been extremely happy with the service. To be successful in the rental business one needs to use quality companies and ACCUTEST LEAD INSPECTIONS is the best I have worked with. Mr. Hronowski is friendly, professional, honest and willing to answer any questions you my have. I will continue to use this company for all my lead testing needs and I recommend all Angie's List members to use ACCUTEST LEAD INSPECTIONS as well.

It was as good an experience as it could be. Dave is the owner and does the work himself so I felt like I was in the hands of someone knowledgeable about his field. He was prompt, explained his process clearly, was clean and efficient while he worked, and was done when he said he would be. I particularly appreciated that Dave gave us an appointment time, not just a two or four hour window.
Description of Work: Dave performed a full lead inspection of the house, which included a visual inspection of the exterior, a visual inspection of the interior, and a dust wipe in each room. The very next day he sent the dust wipes to the lab. Within another day or two he called me with the results, filed the paperwork with the state, and sent me a copy.
