Asbestos siding has a bad reputation, but it's a great product. If you paint it, it looks great. There's really nothing to be worried about as long as you break it. You can do it yourself aa long as your wear the appropriate attire and the right type of respirator.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You’re right that asbestos siding can be durable and look good when maintained properly. However, we always recommend extra caution when dealing with asbestos, even in siding. While it’s true that asbestos isn’t harmful if left undisturbed, breaking or cutting it can release dangerous fibers into the air, which can pose serious health risks. We always advise homeowners to consult with a professional when working with asbestos materials, to ensure proper removal and safety precautions are taken. If you're considering a project like this, feel free to reach out to us for guidance or referrals to trusted professionals in your area! 😊 Stay safe!
You can even remove asbestos siding without breaking it if you're careful enough. I've seen people do it. Always wet the product well with soap and water, wear appropriate attire and you'll be ok. Best part of all, you'll save thousands. Most important part is keeping the dust level down by wetting it. Asbestos insulation on the other hand is far much more deadly because the fibers aren't made into a product like the asbestos shingle. Asbestos tile, 9x9, poses almost no threat either. Simply, tile right over it or seal it first and then tile over it.
