Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Milford?

You found asbestos on your Milford home and the removal quotes seem steep. Many homeowners near Concord Woods and along State Route 28 wonder if they can tackle this project themselves with the right gear and save thousands of dollars.

Asbestos siding was common on Ohio homes built between 1930 and 1980. If your house predates the 1980s, there's a good chance your siding contains asbestos fibers. These materials become dangerous when disturbed because they release microscopic fibers into the air.

DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Ohio without proper licensing and permits. Professional removal typically costs $15,000 to $25,000 for a full house, depending on square footage and accessibility. The price reflects specialized equipment, containment systems, air monitoring, and hazardous waste disposal fees that you cannot avoid.

Do not attempt this work yourself. One mistake can contaminate your entire home and expose your family to cancer-causing fibers for years. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the licensing, containment, air testing, and legal disposal that Ohio requires. Call for an assessment this week before the problem gets worse.

Once properly removed, your home will be safe for your family and future renovations. You'll have documentation proving the work was done legally, which protects your property value and gives you peace of mind.
