About SoCretely
Community Commitment
SoCretely is more than a testing firm. We are committed to giving back to the communities we work in and inspect through service.
More Than a Business
SoCretely was founded in Cleveland with a purpose that goes beyond construction testing. We believe that a business has a responsibility to the community it operates in, and we take that seriously.
From the neighborhoods where we conduct lead inspections to the job sites where our technicians work alongside local crews, we are invested in the health, safety, and economic vitality of the communities we serve.
We are committed to giving back to the neighborhoods we work in and inspect. Through service, we stay connected to the communities we build in.
Areas of Commitment
Workforce Development
We are committed to creating pathways into the construction testing and inspection field for individuals from underrepresented communities, including mentorship, training support, and employment opportunities.
Healthy Homes
Lead hazards disproportionately affect children in older, lower-income neighborhoods. Our lead inspection and risk assessment work is part of a broader commitment to healthier homes and safer communities across Northeast Ohio.
Local Partnerships
SoCretely partners with local organizations, contractors, and agencies that share our values. We believe that strong communities are built through collaboration, and we look for opportunities to support that work.
Small Business Advocacy
As a certified SBE, MBE, WBE, FBE, and EDGE firm, SoCretely is committed to demonstrating what small and diverse businesses can accomplish and to encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs in our region.
Lead Safety & Healthy Homes
Northeast Ohio has a significant stock of pre 1978 housing. Lead paint hazards in older homes are a serious public health concern, particularly for young children. SoCretely's lead inspection and risk assessment services help property owners, landlords, and families understand and address lead hazards, contributing to healthier homes and safer communities across the region.
