Safe, compliant, and fully licensed exterior transite siding and shingle abatement to protect your property value, family health, and curb appeal.
For decades, building manufacturers mixed asbestos into cement to produce highly durable, fireproof exterior siding panels, universally known as Transite siding or asbestos cement shingles. While these exterior panels are incredibly weather-resistant, aging, cracking, accidental breakage, or hitting them with a high-pressure power washer can release millions of microscopic asbestos fibers directly into the open air around your property.
If you are planning an exterior home remodel, putting new vinyl siding over old panels, or dealing with fractured exterior materials, choosing a Michigan licensed siding abatement professional is vital. At Michigan Asbestos Pros, we specialize in the safe containment, extraction, and lawful disposal of brittle exterior materials, protecting your soil, family, and neighborhood from cross-contamination.
Every single exterior siding project we take on follows an uncompromised path to regulatory and physical safety:
We erect visible boundaries and hazard signs around the property perimeter to keep neighbors and onlookers at a completely safe distance.
All windows, vents, and doors near the workspace are thoroughly sealed with poly plastic to ensure zero fibers make their way inside the building interior.
Siding pieces are unpinned one by one from the bottom up, minimizing friction and breakage.
The moment a shingle is removed, it is immediately placed into specialized, labeled hazard waste containers while still damp.
After the bare structural sheeting is exposed, the drop sheets are rolled inward and clean-up crews scan the entire ground area with specialized HEPA-filtered vacuums to ensure a perfectly clean yard.
Flooring removal involving asbestos requires careful handling to avoid contamination and delays.
Michigan Asbestos Professionals works with homeowners and contractors to complete tile removal safely while keeping projects moving forward.
We are fully licensed by the State of Michigan and strictly follow EPA NESHAP mandates for handling hazardous exterior building materials.
Attempting a DIY removal or letting an uncertified general contractor smash your old siding can result in severe state fines and permanent soil contamination that completely ruins your home's resale value.
We provide you with comprehensive closeout documentation and official waste landfill manifests, proving your siding was handled 100% legally.
Clear communication and documentation for efficient claims processing.
Professional environmental services across residential and commercial properties.
Unlike indoor projects, outdoor environmental hazards present dynamic variables such as wind, dust drift, and soil exposure. We combat these elements with a highly engineered, field-tested containment approach:
We secure heavy-duty, 6-mil plastic sheets across all drop zones, landscaping, and foundation soil beneath your walls to trap any crumbling debris or historical fastening nails.
Our field crews utilize manual hand tools and specialized flat pry bars to safely unfasten and remove exterior transite siding pieces completely intact. We strictly avoid high-speed mechanical saws or grinders that fracture materials into toxic dust.
The entire working facade is systematically treated with an EPA-approved surfactant wetting solution, ensuring the material remains thoroughly damp and dust-free during the entire extraction sequence.

Serving Communities Across Michigan
We focus on safe execution, regulatory compliance, and keeping projects on schedule, no shortcuts, no surprises.
While some regional building codes technically permit you to “side over” intact asbestos tiles by screwing furring strips right through them, it is a risky compromise. Puncturing the shingles during installation releases microscopic dust behind your walls. Furthermore, leaving them on the building can severely damage your future resale value, as modern home buyers frequently demand a steep discount or complete removal before closing escrow.
The overall cost to replace asbestos shingles relies heavily on the height of the property (one-story vs. multi-story requiring complex scaffolding), the total square footage of the walls, and the structural integrity of the wood framing underneath. We provide explicit, flat-rate line-item quotes so you know your exact project costs upfront.
Modern fiber-cement siding (like HardieBoard) uses harmless cellulose fibers. However, older fiber-cement panels manufactured before the early 1980s almost always contain real chrysotile asbestos. If you are unsure, we can safely collect a physical sample and have it verified by an accredited laboratory.
