"My initial contact, David, with the company was great. When I got handed off to the local company that would be taking care of the paperwork and scheduling several things got lost in translation and my project was delayed from the original promised date of completion. I spoke with my original contact and everything was back on track. The third group of people, the ones that showed up at my house, were also great. This was a tiring process but finding asbestos in your house is not easy either way. I would use this company again if I needed it."

"Superior Abatement answered my call for a kitchen demolition where asbestos was involved. These guys answered quickly and showed up promptly for the assessment. (Not what happened with three other companies) They made a bid on the work that made my day! Then their work was superior. What a nice group of gentlemen. Very polite, very efficient. Sealed the work completely so that I could not smell the mold treatment and sealer even in the next room. I hope to hire them again when the next demolition job is ready to roll."

"While they did a great job with the remodel of our previous home, they did a superb job with our new home.  We are very picky and wanted some very custom features like custom made cabinetry, travertine tile, huge outdoor living space, and many other features. Ray Hubbard worked with us for nearly 6 months getting all the finishes just the way we wanted them, and spent endless hours I am sure with all the numbers.
Our beautiful home will be where we retire and we could not be more happy about it.  A few minor mistakes were made along the way, but considering a project of this size it was very understandable.  We informed Ray of the few items we thought were mistakes and he quickly handled the problem and did so to our satisfaction.    I would like to say we would use him again, but he all ready gave us our dream home.  All joking aside, of course we would call on Ray and Legacy if we ever need a great contractor.

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

It is not recommended to drill into asbestos siding because doing so can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air. The safest way to handle asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate them.

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. 

Asbestos siding can be dangerous, but it doesn't necessarily pose a health risk if it's in good condition and left undisturbed. The danger comes from inhaling asbestos fibers, which can be released if the siding is damaged, deteriorating, crumbling, or disturbed during remodeling or repairs. Exposure to these airborne fibers can cause serious, life-threatening diseases like asbestosis (lung scarring), mesothelioma (an aggressive cancer), and other lung cancers.

If your asbestos siding is intact, the general recommendation is to leave it alone. However, if it's damaged or you plan to renovate, it's crucial to handle it safely. Due to the significant health risks and the difficulty of containing the fibers, it is not recommended to perform any asbestos work yourself. Instead, you should hire a professional asbestos removal company to inspect, repair, encapsulate, or remove the material. The presence of asbestos can also negatively impact your property's value.

Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.
