CDS Inspections and Beyond

Lead Paint Certification

Established in 2000 and owned and operated by Randy and Leigh Alexander, CDS Inspections & Beyond is your premier training provider choice for the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Program. CDS began providing lead-safe work practices education / training to contractors in 2002 for HUD compliance requirements, and have been a certified EPA RRP training provider since 2010, continuing our mission to keep children and families safe from lead hazards through the education of renovation contractors. While Randy and Leigh provide training in urban venues, they have also spent a great deal of time traveling to some of the most rural areas in Nebraska to reach contractors that might otherwise not have access to this training. Several times throughout the year with the assistance of various non-profit and community based organizations, CDS engages in community outreach by offering free lead inspections utilizing their “lead gun” so that families can make smart choices and take appropriate steps necessary to prevent lead poisoning of their children. Through contractor training and environmental testing services for concerns such as asbestos, lead and mold, Randy’s and Leigh’s goal is to make homes healthy one at a time.
