Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Fort Mitchell?
The short answer is no. Here's why DIY asbestos siding removal puts your family at risk.
You found asbestos siding on your Fort Mitchell home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners in Kenton County's older neighborhoods wonder if they can tackle this project themselves to save money.
Asbestos siding was common in Fort Mitchell homes built between 1920 and 1980. The gray or white cement-fiber panels contain asbestos fibers that become airborne when disturbed. Even careful removal releases microscopic particles that can cause lung disease decades later.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Kentucky without proper licensing. Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for an average Fort Mitchell home, depending on square footage and accessibility. The price includes containment setup, specialized equipment, worker protection, and hazardous waste disposal permits.
Call a licensed contractor this week for a proper assessment. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the entire process from containment to cleanup, following state regulations. Attempting removal yourself risks contaminating your entire house, exposing neighbors, and facing legal penalties for improper disposal.
Once professionally removed, your home is safe for your family and future buyers. The investment protects your health and property value long-term.
What people in Fort Mitchell 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!"
