Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Dublin, OH?
The short answer is no. Here's why DIY asbestos siding removal puts your family at risk.
You found asbestos siding on your Dublin home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homes in Historic Dublin and Bridge Park built before 1980 have asbestos siding. The temptation to rent equipment and do it yourself is strong when quotes hit $15,000 or more.
Asbestos siding looks like regular cement board but contains deadly fibers that become airborne when disturbed. Even small chips or cracks release microscopic particles you can't see or smell. These fibers cause lung cancer and mesothelioma decades after exposure.
Professional removal in Dublin typically costs $10-25 per square foot depending on your home's size and siding condition. A 2,000 square foot home runs $20,000-50,000. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, licensed workers, and hazardous waste disposal. Cutting corners isn't worth your family's health.
Call a licensed asbestos removal contractor this week for a proper assessment. Ohio law requires special permits and training you can't get as a homeowner. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the entire process from containment to disposal, keeping your family safe. Don't attempt this yourself or hire unlicensed contractors.
Once properly removed, your home is safe for new siding installation. You'll have peace of mind knowing the job was done right and your family isn't breathing dangerous fibers. The investment protects your health and your home's value.
What people in Dublin 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!"
