Reliable Lead Inspection Services

Lead Testing & Removal

About us

PROTECTING BY INSPECTING! Lead poisoning is no laughing matter. Worldwide, about 143,000 deaths per year result from lead poisoning, and lead paint is the most common perpetrator. You can prevent lead poisoning from taking a toll on you, your family, and your home by having your property inspected. Reliable Lead Inspection Services, LLC has helped countless homeowners across Baltimore, MD and the surrounding counties with their home lead inspections since 2014. The state of Maryland requires that all properties – including apartments, condos, townhouses, lofts, and single-family homes – built before 1978 have a new lead inspection certificate every time the property is rented or sold. Even if you’re not in the market to buy or sell property, it is always a sensible decision to have any home inspected before doing renovations. You never know what could be hiding in those walls! I can provide 24 hour results if needed. Available 7 days a week. MDE Lic #15208 Ask us about our Senior, Police, & military discounts!

Norman is an upstanding business owner with integrity. He's also friendly, knowledgeable, and a clear communicator. He sent all of his credential ahead of time, arrived 5 minutes early, and explained his process and everything he was doing. When there was a minor misunderstanding, he offered a compromise on price just to make sure we were fully satisfied. A real gentleman. I would 100% recommend Norman to anyone in need to lead testing services!

Mr. Rosenzweig was able to do the inspection on short notice. He was very helpful and told us what to expect and how to prepare for his inspection. Everything went smoothly and we got our certificate in a few days. I recommend him without reservation and will use his services again when needed.

Very well. They were very responsive, kept in touch until the job was actually started. They showed up an hour ahead of time, we didn't have to stay at the home while the inspection was being done and they were the most reasonable.

I had an excellent experience. He responded immediately to my call. He was able to perform the job very quickly from the time I requested his services. He arrived EXACTLY when scheduled. He explained everything, he cleaned up after himself, he worked quickly but efficiently. He explained the entire process and everything went as described. I had several rooms to test so it seemed a bit high in cost however I don't think it was too different from other companies (...i'm just cheap.) I would highly recommend the company and I would use him again if needed.

Norman was absolutely excellent to work with!! He was extremely knowledgeable and educated us so we knew exactly what to do to pass the inspection. He always arrived early for appointments and went above and beyond the call of duty. He was available for questions and was very responsive. Do not hesitate to hire Norman. He is your guy!!!

I recently purchased a rental house and have been working with many contractors and service people over the last few months. Norman truly was the most professional and responsive person I've worked with, not to mention he is a genuinely nice guy. I didn't understand what was required for the lead inspection so Norman explained the entire process in detail. What will be tested, how long it takes, what happens if I fail/pass, paper work requirements. There was also a paper work error caused by MDE that Norman went above and beyond to fix for me. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Mr. Rosenzweig was very professional and courteous when he came out to inspect the apartment. He did swipes of the windows for lab testing and took pictures of the areas that needed to be painted and gave me a timeline of when I could expect the lab results. The lab results came back early and he met with me to hand over the certificate. He was very punctual and efficient.

Vanessa and Norman were absolutely wonderful. We were concerned with lead paint since we have a three year old and they were thorough and provided a lot of good information regarding the testing process and lab report. I would highly recommend them for any lead testing services.

We are so incredibly pleased with Norm and Vanessa. They responded promptly to my emails and showed up on time for our appointments. They explained everything to me and gave me an estimate of costs for the final test ahead of time. They took pictures of each item of concern which made it easy to address, and we passed the lead test on the first try. We plan to use them again for our new home.
Description of Work: We recently decided that we would rent out our home in NE Baltimore. Before getting tenants, we needed to first identify and address any led paint issues Norm and Vanessa came out to take a look at our place. They went throughout the entire home and pointed out areas of concern. They even sent me pictures so that I would remember everything that needed to be done. After I got the work done, they came back out to perform the lead tests. We ultimately passed the state lead tests.

The other reviews are so spot on. Norman is such a dedicated and caring business owner and consummate professional. He provides top notch reliable service; he is responsive and good at explaining how the whole process works. He explained very clearly how to address chipping paint issues and provided helpful answers to any and all questions. If you are like me, and want to meet your landlord obligations regarding lead as quickly as possible, pick up your phone and call Norman! He and his partner are so nice to work with!

Terrific! Highly recommend this company. Norman and Vanessa explained and tested everything thoroughly. They were SO nice and professional. Most important: they took & sent me pictures of everything I needed to attend to before their return visit. They really HELPED me and shared my goals to get the units really lead-safe and certified. They are committed to the customer and the process and return trips are included in the price - there are no surprises. I almost didn't choose this company because their base price and per/sample price were higher than others- but the others would have ended up costing me MORE! I have had 3 different lead inspectors here over the years, and Reliable Lead Inspections is so far above the others that they can't be compared. I would not have hired them without the reviews here on Angie's list, so I heartily thank the site and the reviewers who gave detailed feedback.
