Can I Remove Asbestos Siding Myself in Villa Hills?
DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal is illegal and dangerous. Here's what you need to know.
You found asbestos siding or shingles on your Villa Hills home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners along Kentucky Route 371 wonder if they can tackle this project themselves with the right equipment and save thousands of dollars.
Asbestos was commonly used in siding and roofing materials from the 1920s through the 1980s. If your home was built during this period, there's a good chance your exterior contains asbestos fibers. When these materials are disturbed, they release microscopic fibers that cause lung cancer and other serious diseases decades later.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Kentucky without proper licensing and permits. Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for a full house, depending on square footage and material condition. The work requires specialized containment systems, air monitoring equipment, and hazardous waste disposal permits that aren't available to homeowners.
Your safest move is getting quotes from licensed contractors who handle the permits, containment, and disposal. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has removed asbestos from Villa Hills homes since 1988 and can walk you through the process. Never attempt removal yourself, even for small sections, as contamination spreads quickly through your home's air system.
Once professional removal is complete, you'll have a safe home and peace of mind. Your family won't be exposed to dangerous fibers, and you'll have proper documentation for future buyers if you sell.
What people in Villa Hills 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!"
