Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Kenwood?
Why DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal is illegal and dangerous in Ohio
You found asbestos in your Kenwood home's siding or roof shingles. The removal quotes seem expensive, and you're wondering if you can handle it yourself with some protective gear. Many homeowners near Kenwood Towne Centre ask this same question when they discover asbestos in their older homes.
Asbestos was commonly used in siding and roof shingles from the 1940s through the 1980s. If your home was built during this period, there's a good chance your exterior materials contain asbestos fibers. These materials become dangerous when disturbed, releasing microscopic fibers into the air that can cause lung disease and cancer.
Professional asbestos removal typically costs $15,000 to $30,000 for a full house, depending on the size and complexity. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, licensed disposal, and extensive safety protocols. DIY removal might seem like a way to save money, but it's illegal in Ohio without proper licensing and can contaminate your entire property.
Do not attempt to remove asbestos yourself. Ohio law requires licensed contractors for asbestos removal, and improper handling can spread fibers throughout your home and neighborhood. Contact Central Insulation Systems Inc. for a proper assessment and safe removal. They'll contain the work area, use specialized equipment, and dispose of materials at approved facilities.
Once professional removal is complete, your home will be safe for your family and future renovations. You'll have proper documentation for insurance and resale purposes, and you won't risk the massive cleanup costs that come from improper DIY removal.
What people in Kenwood 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!"
