Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Mason, OH?
The honest answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal — and why it's not worth the risk.
You found asbestos siding or roof shingles on your Mason home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homes built in Mason before 1980 have asbestos materials, especially in the neighborhoods around Pine Hill Lakes Park. The removal costs seem high, and you're wondering if you can tackle this yourself with some protective gear.
Asbestos siding and roof shingles were common in Mason homes built between 1940 and 1980. These materials contain microscopic fibers that become airborne when disturbed. Even careful removal releases these fibers, which can cause lung cancer and other serious diseases decades later.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Ohio without proper licenses and permits. Professional removal typically costs $15-25 per square foot for siding and $20-35 for roofing. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, air monitoring, and hazardous waste disposal. Attempting it yourself risks contaminating your entire house and exposing your family.
Contact Central Insulation Systems Inc. for a proper assessment and removal plan. Licensed contractors use negative air pressure systems, sealed containment areas, and proper disposal methods. They handle all permits and testing required by Ohio environmental regulations. Trying to save money on asbestos removal often costs more when contamination spreads.
Once professionally removed, your Mason home is safe for renovations and your family's health is protected. The removal site will pass air quality testing, and you'll have documentation for future buyers. Your property value remains intact without the liability of improper asbestos handling.
What people in Mason 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!"
