My house was built in 1900 and has been sided with asbestos siding shingles. I need to replace some of them because I cannot afford to get rid of them. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
I just want to replace a few of the shingles that have gotten damaged. I do not have to remove all of them in order to sell the home. I do appreciate all the help.

Jennifer L asked:


Hi, I’m looking into purchasing an 1800 sq ft home (2 stories). The house has damaged siding (the paint appears to be bubbling off) and it turns out that the siding contains asbestos. Approximately how much would it cost to replace this siding ($3,000, $30,000?? any range would be helpful)? Also, what type of siding would you suggest I replace it with?

Thanks in advance!

My bf and I are looking to by a house - we found one we really like but our inspector informed us that the siding was Asbestos. We are not familiar with this at all. Did some research and found out that in some cases it is an easy fix and in some instances nothing needs to be done or removed… Anyone have any tips or any information on Asbestos siding as far as removing, covering or leaving it goes?

Like I said my home I believe has asbestos siding and it is in bad condition already so I want to have the house re-done with stucco. Now I am not sure if I can just add the stucco on top of the siding or do I need to remove the siding. Please no information on asbestos as I am aware of the dangers I just want to know if I should remove them or not. Thanks.

DeNae asked:


My old farmhouse still has white asbestos siding/shingles. My grandfather put them up around the 1950’s. He died of lung cancer in 1969/1970. I was wondering where it came from, and what makes it so carcinogenic…And if they knew of the side effects of asbestos as early as the 1920’s, why did they still permit it to be manufactured?? Anybody know about this?

Val asked:


We are looking at a house to buy which has asbestos siding. The siding is in good condition, no major breaks/cracks. However, we would like to eventually vinly side the house and wondered if just going over the old siding would be fine. I have heard that it is OK to do so if the asbestos siding is in good condition. Anyone know if this is a good idea?

David S asked:


They had asbestos siding and probably asbestos insulation. Is there anything I can do short of hiring an expensive company to detect and clean my property of asbestos contamination? Will it be OK for my child to play in the yard after I cut the grass? Will I be OK when I cut the grass?
