Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Cheviot to save money?
The straight answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal in your Hamilton County home.
You found asbestos siding or roof shingles on your Cheviot home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homes built before 1980 around Harvest Home Park and near Clippard Park have these materials. You're wondering if you can tackle this project yourself with some protective gear and save thousands.
Asbestos siding and roof shingles were common on Ohio homes built from the 1940s through 1970s. These materials break down over time, releasing microscopic fibers that cause lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later. Even small amounts of disturbance during removal can contaminate your entire house.
Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for a full house, depending on square footage and material condition. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, air monitoring, and hazardous waste disposal fees. Cutting corners on any step puts your family's health at serious risk.
Do not attempt DIY asbestos removal. Ohio requires licensed contractors with specific training, containment equipment, and disposal permits. One mistake can spread fibers throughout your home, making it unlivable and costing far more to remediate. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the entire process safely, from initial testing through final clearance.
Once properly removed, your home is safe for your family and ready for new siding or roofing. You'll have documentation proving the work was done correctly, protecting your property value and giving you peace of mind.
What people in Cheviot 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!"
