Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
