What Environmental Testing Services LLC does

Environmental Testing Services LLC (ETS), headquartered in Deptford, New Jersey, is a privately held environmental inspection firm founded in 2000 by CEO Michael Stefkovic. The company specializes in lead-based paint inspection and certification for pre-1978 housing stock, deploying X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers for non-invasive surface testing and certified-laboratory dust-wipe analysis for regulatory compliance. ETS holds three state-level credentials that authorize its work across its service area: NJDCA Lead Evaluation Contractor (#005318), NJ Lead Risk Assessor (#034560), and PA Lead Risk Assessor (PA-003329). Beyond lead testing, the firm offers mold detection and indoor air quality (IAQ) testing, addressing related environmental hazards in residential and commercial properties.

ETS serves a fragmented customer base across New Jersey, the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, Norristown, and Southeastern Pennsylvania — primarily landlords, property owners, home buyers, and operators of childcare, school, and healthcare facilities who need certification to satisfy municipal lead ordinances and tenant-turnover requirements. Revenue is generated on a per-engagement basis (lead inspections, Lead-Safe certifications valid 2-4 years, and lifetime Lead-Free certifications), with the Lead-Safe vs. Lead-Free distinction and dust-wipe lab analysis forming the core of the pricing structure. The company reports a 24-48 hour turnaround on inspection reports and has inspected 3,500+ locations with 1,500+ Lead-Free certifications issued since the recent wave of NJ and PA lead laws took effect.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: a website with 'Book An Inspection' calls-to-action, three regional phone numbers (toll-free, NJ, Philadelphia Metro), and an online contact form. Marketing is primarily organic — educational blog content, SEO-optimized jurisdictional pages, and a presence across Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. With only eight employees and no disclosed external funding, ETS operates as a tightly scoped specialist rather than a scaled platform, leaning on founder-led regulatory expertise and a long track record rather than technology leverage or channel partnerships.
