From hazardous material concerns to energy efficiency needs, we deliver compliant solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
We've been making buildings safer and more efficient since 1988, starting right here in Cincinnati and growing to serve customers across more than 30 states. What began as a commitment to providing essential environmental safety services has evolved into a comprehensive practice that combines hazardous material remediation with professional insulation installation. Our work spans everything from government facilities and major corporations to family homes, but our mission has remained constant: delivering safe, compliant solutions that protect people and property.
Over more than three decades, we've built our reputation on handling the projects others can't or won't take on. Whether we're safely removing asbestos from an industrial facility, installing energy-efficient insulation in a residential renovation, or conducting hazardous waste remediation for a healthcare institution, we bring the same rigorous attention to regulatory compliance and safety protocols. Our customers include government agencies, major corporations, industrial facilities, general contractors, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and homeowners who need guaranteed expertise in highly regulated work.
This work matters because the stakes are real. When buildings contain hazardous materials or lack proper insulation, the consequences affect everyone inside. We exist to bridge that gap between danger and safety, inefficiency and performance, ensuring that every project we complete meets the strictest EPA, OSHA, and state regulations while delivering lasting peace of mind for our customers.
Central Insulation Systems was founded in 1988 by Steve Kirby, who recognized an opportunity to provide professional insulation services to Cincinnati's commercial and industrial community. Operating from a modest location on Central Parkway, the company began with a focus on quality insulation installation and applied fireproofing.
From the start, Steve built the company on a foundation of technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and customer-first service. This commitment attracted a growing client base that valued reliability and professionalism.
As demand for our services expanded, Central Insulation Systems evolved to meet increasingly complex project requirements. We expanded our service offerings to include asbestos removal, lead paint abatement, hazardous waste remediation, and interior demolition, requiring additional certifications and specialized training.
In response to growth, we relocated to a larger, more strategically positioned facility in St. Bernard, Ohio. This move allowed us to expand our capabilities while maintaining our core values of safety, compliance, and professional excellence. Today, our team regularly manages projects across multiple states, from single-family homes to large commercial and industrial facilities.

We understand regional regulations, local building codes, and industry-specific requirements in every market we serve. Our ability to mobilize teams quickly and manage multi-site projects makes us a trusted partner for national contractors, government agencies, and corporate facilities management teams.
Steve founded Central Insulation Systems in 1988 as a privately owned company serving the Cincinnati, Ohio area from its original location on Central Parkway. What started as a small company quickly expanded as demand grew for high-quality insulation, environmental services, and licensed asbestos removal. Fun Fact: Steve was in the first training class in Ohio to receive a license for asbestos removal.
