How do you properly dispose of asbestos shingles? I’m dealing with a property that was built in 1965. Its a tri-level home.

Should I purchase a house like this or is that a small fix.

    You must get an EPA approved company to remove asbestos. Best thing to do is cover it with vinyl siding or replace missing shingles with the concrete look-a-like asbestos shingle.

    Okay, I thought about the same thing of just covering it with the vinyl siding. It will only make the house more appealing.

    Thanks a lot!

    I have a property with asbestos siding also. My plan is to wait for a tornado to remove and dispose of it.

    Fingers crossed...

    Code requires that you have an unobstructed working access of 36 inches wide and 30 inches deep.

    this is probably a subpanel, many older homes have them, just get an electrician to move the panel and continue.
