Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Crescent Springs?
The straight answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal — and what you need to know first.
You found asbestos siding on your Crescent Springs home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners along I-71 wonder if they can tackle this job themselves with the right equipment and save thousands. The short answer is no, and here's why.
Asbestos siding was common in homes built before 1980, especially in established neighborhoods near General Ormsby Mitchell Park. When disturbed, these materials release microscopic fibers that cause lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later. Even small amounts can contaminate your entire house through your HVAC system.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Kentucky without proper licensing and permits. Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for siding, depending on your home's size and the material's condition. The work requires specialized containment equipment, air monitoring, and hazardous waste disposal permits that cost more than most removal quotes.
Contact a licensed asbestos removal contractor this week for a proper assessment. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has handled hundreds of homes in Kenton County since 1988 and can walk you through the legal requirements. Do not attempt removal yourself, even for small sections. One mistake puts your family's health at risk for life.
Once professionally removed, you can safely renovate or re-side your home without health concerns. Your property value increases, and you have peace of mind knowing your family is protected from exposure.
What people in Crescent Springs 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!"
