If you own, rent out, renovate, or manage a property built before 1978, lead-based paint may be present — and both Rhode Island and Massachusetts regulate it. LBP Solutions provides professional lead paint inspections that give you accurate information and clear documentation, so you understand your situation and what comes next.
We’re a full-service environmental inspection and consulting firm based in Providence, serving property owners, landlords, contractors, property managers, and institutions throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Our focus is straightforward: identify lead hazards, explain what they mean, and help you move toward compliance — without fearmongering or guesswork.
Lead inspection services we provide
Not all lead work is the same. We match the right type of inspection to your property and your goal, rather than flattening everything into one generic service.
Who needs a lead paint inspection?
Landlords & rental owners — lead requirements commonly apply to pre-1978 rental housing across RI and MA.
Buyers & sellers — know what you're dealing with before you close on a home or building.
Contractors & renovators — pre-renovation assessment and RRP-scope inspections for renovation, repair, and painting work.
Property managers & institutions — multifamily, commercial, and institutional buildings that need documented inspection support.

Why professional inspection and compliance matter
Lead exposure is a serious health concern, especially for young children — which is why EPA, HUD, and the states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts regulate lead in housing. A professional inspection gives you accurate information and clear documentation, so you can meet requirements, protect occupants, and avoid the cost and uncertainty of guessing. We focus on what we find and what it means, with no fearmongering and no guaranteed outcomes.

Lead paint inspection FAQs
Do I need a lead paint inspection before renting a property?
In many cases, yes. Rhode Island and Massachusetts both have lead requirements for pre-1978 rental housing, and an inspection is often the first step toward a lead-safe or compliance determination. We can help you understand what applies to your specific property.
What's the difference between a lead inspection and an RRP inspection?
A lead inspection evaluates a property for lead-based paint and hazards. An RRP inspection is narrower — it relates to renovation, repair, and painting work under the EPA RRP Rule and focuses on the scope of that work rather than the whole building.
Do you inspect both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We serve residential, rental, commercial, industrial, and institutional properties throughout our service area.
Do you serve both Rhode Island and Massachusetts?
Yes. We’re based in Providence and serve clients across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts and surrounding communities.
Can you help Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes — se habla español. We can assist Spanish-speaking clients with their lead paint inspection needs.
How quickly can an inspection be scheduled?
Scheduling depends on your location and timeline. Because response time matters to us, we work to schedule inspections promptly — reach out and we’ll find the soonest fit for your property.
What happens after I request a quote?
We confirm the details, schedule your inspection, complete the on-site work and any sampling, and provide you with clear results and guidance on the next steps toward compliance.
