I had incredible support from Mr. Powell and his team. DC housing required a lead-based paint certification on my rental property. I had never been required to provide such a thing in the past and I was, frankly, scared of the process and the possible outcome. I contacted Jeffre Powell at AVETS and received top-notch service at a great price. Through his comprehensive knowledge of the regulations and the process, I got expert consultation that put me at ease that everything would be handled professionally and thoroughly, and it was. When DCHA pushed back at me (owing to their own lack of understanding), Jeffre Powell responded on my behalf and the issue was resolved that afternoon. I cannot imagine a more positive experience or a better company to work with. I don't usually write reviews, but I had to write this one. They are just that good. - Tony A. read more

The inspectors at this lead paint inspection enterprise have expert knowledge of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and DC regulations regarding lead paint inspection. They arrive on time and get the follow up lab reports evaluations and other information back to the property owner promptly. They are also available for paint inspections requiring quick turn around in preparation for home inspection and re-inspection compliance. Jeffre Powell is especially knowledgeable about all things lead paint inspection. I use these inspectors for my property and highly recommend this enterprise for their professionalism and lead paint inspection expertise. read more

VETS has done numerous LBP Inspections, XRF Tests, and Mold Tests for me for years. I always refer VETS to every landlord and homeowner that needs similar services. VETS is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and thorough every time they provide service. They are always helpful, courteous, ON TIME, friendly to all the tenants, and overall just an absolute pleasure to work with! And most of all they make sure the customer is always satisfied and no matter how many questions I have they always make sure I understand the entire process from start to finish!! They definitely have a customer for life!!! read more

When my rental was inspected the walkway paint we'd applied in 2010 was lightly worn from tenants moving in and out. But the city presumed lead based paint and required us to prove it wasn't. Veterans Environmental has been incredibly responsive in helping us get inspection and re-inspection done even with a short short and contractors mis-communicating on what exactly the problem is. I'd happily recommend them to anyone who needs a professional to help them with environmental inspections. read more

AVETS was recommended to us by a Contractor. From the first phone call to inquire about their services to the final invoice this group of people could not have been more responsive or attentive. And efficient. Between our first phone call to completion of the work, all work to inspect and then remediate both lead paint and asbestos in an older building were accomplished in 3 weeks' time. Thank you, AVETS. I am sure we will recommend your services in the future to our clients. read more

I was impressed by the owner's candor and knowledge during the first phone call to schedule to my unit's mold inspection, as well as the technical expertise of the contractor (Mr. James) who took the samples. Mr. Powell, the owner, was very clear about the possible outcomes of the inspection and assured me that his report will explain the lab results in layman's terms. I look forward to sharing his report with my landlord in the very near future. read more

Veterans Environmental exceed my expectations. Jeffre Powell kept me updated throughout the process of lead testing for my rental property and assured that a technician would wait at the job site until necessary work was complete so testing could occur. As a landlord, there is nothing in my business more strictly regulated than lead, and to have a professional who works with you to guide you to a successful outcome is greatly appreciated. read more

I was looking for a lead paint inspector and was recommended Veterans Environmental (VETS). I have been working with VETS for three years and each year the service has been superior. I am provided with excellent customer service and most importantly a knowledgeable contractor. My inspectors arrive on time and my reports are received in a timely manner. VETS have delivered over and over and that is why I continue to use and recommend them. read more

Service was professional, appointment presence was precise with the representative from VETS taking the time to explain the process. One of my units required an inspection and the inspector gave me the legal requirements in layman terminology and costs me $350 for the services. Pricing is competitive BUT the overall experience was phenomenal and I say call them WHEN you need the test for lead in your business of home. read more

I needed lead contamination evaluation for my multiunit apartment building and chose VETS from a long list provided by DC Gov. The owner, although not in office took time to give me an extensive education on procedures and owner responsibilities to protect tenants health. Tech arrived on time, did a thorough inspection and explained every step that she performed. Great job! Hopewell Properties read more
