Lead Safe Inspections MA

Lead Safe Inspections is a Somerville operation built around one specific job: telling the owner of a pre-1978 house whether it has lead paint and what it takes to satisfy the Massachusetts lead law. Jack (John) Mason runs it, according to the company's site, which also lists a Massachusetts lead inspector number, 4547 — that is the company's own statement, not something confirmed against the state registry. The written history is one review. A customer in May 2026 called Jack knowledgeable and patient with questions, easy to communicate with, and said he delivered on what he promised and would work with him again. That single account is worth weighing against the platform number: Google's average sits at 3.7 across three ratings, below the one review anyone wrote out. At least one rater scored the business lower and left no text, so part of the picture is missing. The site also states a residential thermography certification, a pest inspector credential and an FAA drone pilot certificate, and names a service area running from Somerville and Cambridge out through Medford, Melrose, Lynn and Newton. For a lead inspection before a rental listing or a purchase, this is a plausible local call, but go in with questions: check inspector number 4547 against the state yourself, and ask how many pre-1978 inspections he has done in the past year.
