Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Florence?
The straight answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal safety and legality.
You found asbestos siding or roof shingles on your Florence home and got some expensive removal quotes. Now you're wondering if you can tackle this project yourself with the right equipment and save thousands of dollars.
Asbestos siding and roof shingles were common on homes built before 1980 throughout Florence and Northern Kentucky. These materials contain microscopic fibers that become airborne when disturbed. Even small amounts can cause serious lung disease decades later.
Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $30,000 for a full house, depending on the size and condition of your siding or roof. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, licensed workers, and proper disposal fees. Cutting corners on any of these steps puts your family and neighbors at serious risk.
Do not attempt this yourself. Kentucky requires licensed contractors for asbestos removal, and DIY removal can contaminate your entire house. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the permits, containment, removal, and disposal according to state requirements. Get quotes from multiple licensed contractors instead of risking your health.
Once properly removed by professionals, your home is safe for your family and any future renovations. You'll have documentation proving the work was done correctly, which protects your property value and gives you peace of mind.
What people in Florence 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!"
