Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Ludlow?
The straight answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal before you make a costly mistake.
You found asbestos siding or shingles on your Ludlow home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. The old houses near Central Ludlow Historic District often have this issue. You're wondering if renting some equipment and doing it yourself could save thousands.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Kentucky without proper licenses and extremely dangerous. Asbestos fibers become airborne when disturbed and cause lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later. Even small amounts can contaminate your entire house and neighborhood.
Professional removal typically costs $15-25 per square foot for siding and $20-35 for roofing. The price depends on your home's size, accessibility, and contamination level. Houses built before 1980 in Ludlow often need full containment systems, special disposal, and air monitoring.

Once removed properly, your home is safe for renovations and your family's health is protected. You'll have documentation for future buyers and peace of mind that the job was done right.
What people in Ludlow 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!"
