TWO CLEAR PATHS

What do you need help with?

CLEVELAND'S BASIC RULE

Pre-1978 rental properties generally need certification or an exemption.

Owner-occupied properties do not need certification. Properties built in or after 1978 may qualify for exemption. The City makes the final determination.

POSSIBLE 20-YEAR PATH

Lead Inspection and Risk Assessment with XRF

Component-level XRF testing, risk assessment, standard required sampling, laboratory analysis, and a detailed report.

Property Watch through the two-year certificate period included—a $198 value

$1,500Compare the paths

The $99 walkthrough is not a lead inspection, risk assessment, clearance examination, or certification decision and cannot predict testing results. Cleaning does not repair deteriorated paint, correct other lead hazards, or guarantee testing or certification results.

Additional units, separate clearance areas, specialized samples, retesting, rush service, inaccessible areas, and travel outside the standard service area may require a separate written quote.

WHO STANDS BEHIND THE WORK

Local, licensed lead inspection guidance from CLEInspection.

CLEInspection serves Cleveland and Northeast Ohio through appropriately licensed or certified professionals for each assignment. Customers receive a written scope, documented findings, and a clear next step. We do not promise a certificate outcome—the City makes that decision after reviewing the required documentation.

Details when needed

Common questions.

The main process stays simple. Open a question only when you need more information.

Do I need to know which inspection to order?

No. Send the property address and tell us what you are trying to accomplish. We will identify the appropriate inspection and explain it before you schedule.

What do I receive?

Your exact deliverables depend on the scope, but may include the visual assessment, required sampling, laboratory results, labeled photographs, floor-plan documentation, written findings, recommended controls, and a clear explanation of the next step.

What happens if lead hazards are found?

We explain what needs attention. Appropriate lead-safe work must be completed, and clearance testing may be required before certification can proceed.

Does CLEInspection issue the certificate?

No. CLEInspection performs the licensed inspection and prepares the report. The City of Cleveland reviews the application and issues the Lead Safe Certificate.

Will I know the price first?

Yes. Standard one-family pricing is shown on this page. We confirm the property scope and any additional charges in writing before scheduling.
