Advanced Lead Specialty Inspections

A 5-star rating across 208 Google reviews tells you that Advanced Lead Specialty Inspections has satisfied plenty of customers, but it doesn't tell you everything that matters. Online reviews reflect past work quality, not whether a company has the right credentials for your specific situation or potential conflicts of interest that could affect their recommendations. In Trenton, where the median home dates back to 1945, mold risk is real - the area's 68% average humidity and 46 inches of yearly rain create ideal conditions for growth. Before you call anyone, know this: inspectors who also perform remediation work have a financial incentive to find problems, which is why industry standards flag this as a conflict.

When you contact Advanced Lead Specialty Inspections or another firm in Trenton, ask whether they perform both inspection and remediation. If they do both, consider getting a separate inspection from someone who only inspects and doesn't sell remediation services. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Also verify that whoever you hire has IICRC S520 certification - that's the credential that matters most, since New Jersey doesn't require a specific mold remediation license. Before signing anything, confirm in writing exactly what the inspection will cover and what the final report will include.
