What makes asbestos removal so costly?
There are many supporting activities that make legal and safe asbestos removal an undeniably expensive home improvement. First, things like personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protection are expensive and not always reusable. Equipment and setup supplies, like zippers, HEPA negative air machines, and special disposal bags can cost contractors thousands of dollars. There are also costs associated with disposal and lab fees. Not to mention the licensing costs required to keep a company and its workers certified to remove asbestos. The cost of the project includes all of these plus the labor and materials required for the job.
