Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Bowling Green?
Why DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal is dangerous and illegal in Ohio
You found asbestos siding on your Bowling Green home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners near BGSU and downtown wonder if they can tackle this project themselves with some protective gear and save thousands of dollars.
Asbestos siding was common in Ohio homes built between 1920 and 1980, especially in established neighborhoods around Simpson Garden Park and downtown Bowling Green. When these materials break or get damaged, they release microscopic fibers that cause lung disease and cancer decades later. Even drilling one screw hole can contaminate your entire house.
Professional asbestos removal in Bowling Green typically costs $15,000 to $35,000 for a full house, depending on square footage and roof complexity. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, licensed disposal, and air monitoring. Homes near Wood County's agricultural areas often have additional challenges with wind exposure during removal.
Do not attempt DIY asbestos removal. Ohio law requires licensed contractors for any asbestos work beyond small repairs. You need negative air machines, sealed containment areas, and hazmat disposal permits that homeowners cannot obtain. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the entire process legally and safely, from initial testing through final clearance.
Once properly removed, your home is permanently safe from asbestos exposure. You can renovate freely, and future buyers will have peace of mind. The investment protects your family's health and your property value for decades.
What people in Bowling Green say
"THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE."
"I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day."
"I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!"
