Asbestos removal quote seems too high in Kettering?
Breaking down actual asbestos removal costs so you know what's fair before you decide.
You got an asbestos removal quote that made your jaw drop. Now you're wondering if contractors are inflating prices or if removal really costs that much. Many Kettering homeowners with older houses near Centerville Road face the same sticker shock.
Asbestos removal costs feel shocking because the work requires specialized training, equipment, and disposal methods. Licensed contractors must seal work areas, use negative air machines, and follow strict safety protocols. The materials can't just go in a dumpster.
Pipe insulation typically runs $15-25 per linear foot. Floor tiles cost $5-15 per square foot. Small jobs under 100 square feet often cost more per square foot because setup costs stay the same. Difficult access areas like crawl spaces or tight basements increase labor time and cost.
Get three quotes from licensed contractors and compare line items, not just totals. Ask what's included in prep work, containment, disposal, and air testing. Central Insulation Systems Inc. provides detailed breakdowns so you understand exactly what you're paying for. Don't hire anyone who can't show proper licensing and insurance.
Once removal is complete, you'll have peace of mind knowing your family is safe. The space will be ready for renovations or updates without health concerns hanging over your head.
What people in Kettering 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!"
