"I needed to find a mold-remediation company to get rid of mold inside a hallway closet, so I decided to use Home Advisor by Angie. I had hardly finished setting up my request online when I received a call-back from Mario Alvarez, owner of ACE Services. The very next day, he came to my house, analyzed the issue and the cause, and gave me a verbal quote. That evening, I had a written proposal including his FL Licenses as Mold Assessor/Remediator and Asbestos Contractor. One week later he came to do the job in a punctual, professional, and safe manner and my closet looks clean and mold-less! If you need an experienced, knowledgeable, and personable mold-removal professional who prioritizes safety and neatness, Mario Alvarez is your man! Plus, he speaks perfect English and Spanish!"

"It was a pleasure working with Mr. Shapiro and his Staff. They were professional, reliable and to my surprise compassionate to my situation. After, my father had an accident in the tub, it became necessary to have the bathroom remodel to handicapped standards to prevent future accident. Mr. Shapiro was very compassionate in not only handling my fathers needs but also completing the job in a timely manner so that it will not inconvenience my father for too long. In less than 3 weeks the job was completed , just in time for my Dad to celebrate Christmas in his apartment. The work done was beautiful and although, there were minor setback Mr. Shapiro handle the situation in a responsible and professional manner. In the future, I will need to remodel my brothers apartment and I will not hesitate to call on Mr. Shapiro again. I look forward to working with his company SBS again. Thank you so much."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Asbestos is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer. Inhaling asbestos fibers is linked to several respiratory issues, including asbestosis, or scarring on the lungs, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. There's also a link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the digestive system.

Usually, the people most at risk for disease related to asbestos exposure are those who spend a lot of time working around the material without protection. Electricians who work with asbestos wire have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma or lung cancer due to their exposure.

You can cover asbestos siding with another type of siding, such as vinyl, however, this may not be the best option. Covering the asbestos siding may disturb it, releasing fibers into the air. The covered siding can also be disturbed at a later date, such as by a new homeowner who is unaware of its presence.

If you decide to cover the siding, be sure to work with a professional and follow any local building codes and requirements. It may be the case that removing the asbestos siding is the better option, rather than covering it over. 

Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.

In the 1980s, the use of asbestos in house siding materials underwent a significant decline, ultimately being phased out by the mid-1980s to early 1990s. This change was largely due to a growing awareness of the severe health risks associated with asbestos exposure, particularly its link to lung diseases and cancers. With increased public concern and regulatory agency involvement, building codes and regulations were updated to restrict the use of asbestos in construction materials. 

Follow recommendations for removal or remediation to ensure a safe living environment.
