Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Columbus?
The short answer is no. Here's why DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal is illegal and dangerous.
You found asbestos siding or roof shingles on your Columbus home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners in neighborhoods like Olde Towne East wonder if they can tackle this project themselves to save money. The answer is absolutely not.
Asbestos was commonly used in siding and roof shingles in Columbus homes built before 1980. When these materials are disturbed, they release microscopic fibers into the air that cause lung cancer and other deadly diseases. Even small amounts can contaminate your entire house and neighborhood.
Professional asbestos removal typically costs $15,000 to $30,000 for a full house, depending on the amount of material and accessibility. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, licensed workers, and hazardous waste disposal. Cutting corners on this work can cost you much more in health problems and legal liability.
Contact a licensed asbestos removal contractor immediately if you suspect these materials in your home. Do not touch, drill, or disturb the siding or shingles in any way. Central Insulation Systems Inc. can inspect your property and provide a detailed removal plan that protects your family and follows all safety requirements.
Once professional removal is complete, your home will be safe and ready for new siding or roofing. You'll have peace of mind knowing the job was done correctly and your family's health is protected.
What people in Columbus 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!"
