Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Bridgetown?
The straight answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal, plus what you should do instead.
You found asbestos on your Bridgetown home and got quotes that made your jaw drop. Like many homeowners near Interstate 74, you're wondering if renting some equipment and doing the removal yourself could save thousands. The short answer is no, and here's why.
Asbestos siding and roof shingles were common on homes built before 1980. When these materials break or get disturbed, they release microscopic fibers that can cause lung disease decades later. Even sanding, cutting, or pressure washing can send these fibers floating through your house.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Ohio without proper licenses and permits. Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for a full house, depending on square footage and access. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, licensed disposal, and air monitoring that you cannot legally do yourself.
Contact a licensed asbestos removal contractor this week for a proper assessment. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has been handling asbestos removal in the Cincinnati area since 1988 and can walk you through the legal requirements. Do not attempt any removal work until you have permits and proper containment in place.
Once professional removal is complete, you'll have a safe home and proper documentation for future buyers. The investment protects your family's health and your property value for years to come.
What people in Bridgetown 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!"
