Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Nicholasville?
The honest answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal that could save your health.
You found asbestos siding or roof shingles on your Nicholasville home and the removal quotes are making you wince. Maybe you're thinking about renting some equipment and tackling it yourself to save money. Before you make that call, here's what you need to know.
Asbestos siding and roof shingles were common on homes built before 1980. When these materials break or get disturbed, they release tiny fibers into the air that you can't see or smell. These fibers stick in your lungs forever and cause serious diseases decades later.
DIY asbestos removal isn't just dangerous, it's illegal in Kentucky without proper licenses. You need specialized containment equipment, air filtration systems, and hazmat disposal permits. Rental equipment won't cut it. One mistake can contaminate your entire house and cost tens of thousands to fix. Professional removal typically runs $15-25 per square foot depending on your home's size and access.

What people in Nicholasville 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!"
