Experienced in Healthy Homes and Lead Safety
Garden State Lead Inspections was founded by Brandon Montero-Castro, a New Jersey licensed Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor with extensive experience in residential health and safety, lead hazard control, and housing rehabilitation.
Before starting the company, Brandon worked with organizations dedicated to improving housing conditions and protecting communities throughout New Jersey. His experience includes conducting healthy homes inspections, identifying environmental hazards, and overseeing lead remediation projects from initial assessment through completion.
Today, he brings that hands-on experience directly to homeowners, landlords, and property managers, helping them better understand potential lead hazards and make informed decisions about their properties.
A Personal and Local Mission
Garden State Lead Inspections was founded on a simple belief: every family deserves a safe and healthy place to call home.
After years of managing residential health and safety programs throughout New Jersey, including lead hazard remediation and healthy homes initiatives in Trenton, Brandon Montero-Castro wanted to focus on the work he found most meaningful—being in the field, working directly with families, and helping identify potential hazards before they cause harm.
As a father, he understands how important it is to protect children from environmental health risks. That perspective, combined with his professional experience and commitment to his New Jersey community, drives his dedication to providing thorough, reliable lead inspections.
