Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Kettering?
The short answer is no. Here's why DIY asbestos siding removal puts your family at risk.
You found asbestos siding on your Kettering home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners in older Centerville Road neighborhoods wonder if they can tackle this project themselves to save money. The answer is always no.
Asbestos siding was common in Kettering homes built before 1980. When disturbed, it releases microscopic fibers that cause lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later. Even small amounts can contaminate your entire house through your HVAC system.
Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for a typical Kettering home. The price depends on your house size, siding condition, and disposal requirements. DIY removal seems cheaper until you factor in containment equipment rental, hazmat suits, air filtration systems, and special disposal fees at approved facilities.
Contact a licensed asbestos removal contractor this week for a proper assessment. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the permits, containment, safe removal, and legal disposal. Attempting this yourself violates Ohio environmental laws and voids your homeowner's insurance if something goes wrong.
Once properly removed by professionals, your home is safe for your family and ready for new siding installation. You'll have documentation proving the work was done legally and safely.
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!"
