Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Fort Mitchell?
The short answer is no. Here's why DIY asbestos siding removal puts your family at risk.
You found asbestos siding on your Fort Mitchell home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners in Kenton County's older neighborhoods wonder if they can tackle this project themselves to save money.
Asbestos siding was common in Fort Mitchell homes built between 1920 and 1980. The gray or white cement-fiber panels contain asbestos fibers that become airborne when disturbed. Even careful removal releases microscopic particles that can cause lung disease decades later.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Kentucky without proper licensing. Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for an average Fort Mitchell home, depending on square footage and accessibility. The price includes containment setup, specialized equipment, worker protection, and hazardous waste disposal permits.
Call a licensed contractor this week for a proper assessment. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the entire process from containment to cleanup, following state regulations. Attempting removal yourself risks contaminating your entire house, exposing neighbors, and facing legal penalties for improper disposal.
Once professionally removed, your home is safe for your family and future buyers. The investment protects your health and property value long-term.
