If you own an older home that has not been fully renovated, there’s a chance that it contains asbestos. Asbestos is a dangerous substance that can cause serious health problems, so if you think your home might have asbestos, it’s important to have it removed by a professional asbestos abatement company to protect your health and your loved ones. But how much does an asbestos abatement job cost?
The cost of an asbestos abatement job varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the type of asbestos containing building material and the amount of asbestos that needs to be removed. However, the average asbestos removal jobs in a multi family or single family residence can fall somewhere in the range of $3,500 to $20,000.
Of course, the costs don’t stop there. Once the asbestos has been removed from your home, you’ll also need to have the area where the asbestos was present repaired and cleaned. This can add additional cost to the job. When budgeting for an asbestos project, it is necessary to factor in the cost of the testing company ($500-$1200), the cost of abatement and the cost of renovation.
When renovating, your budget is as high as your taste; asbestos removal is no different. Choosing the right company can also play a roll on your cost. If you want your project to flow smoothly, consider hiring a trusted company that will provide the best service but most importantly, the best communication.
