Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Ashland?
The honest answer about DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal in Kentucky.
You found asbestos siding on your Ashland home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners in Boyd County's older neighborhoods wonder if they can tackle this job themselves with the right equipment and save thousands of dollars.
Asbestos siding was common in Kentucky homes built between 1920 and 1980. If your house has cement-fiber siding that looks like shingles or lap boards, it likely contains asbestos fibers. These materials become dangerous when disturbed, releasing microscopic fibers into the air.
Professional asbestos removal in Ashland typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for a full house, depending on the square footage and accessibility. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment setup, licensed disposal, and air monitoring. Jobs near Central Park or downtown often cost more due to proximity regulations.
Do not attempt DIY asbestos removal. Kentucky law requires licensed contractors for asbestos work, and violations carry hefty fines. One mistake can contaminate your entire house and expose your family to cancer-causing fibers. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the permits, containment, and safe disposal that protect your health and comply with state requirements.
Once properly removed by licensed professionals, your home is safe for new siding installation. You can breathe easy knowing the job was done right and your family's health is protected.
