Asbestos Tile Roof
Posted on 1/27/13 at 1:14 pm

Wife and I have found a house that we like, not crazy about it, but mainly because the exterior needs some work.
It's about 3000 sq feet and on a great street, though, so I want to give it a longer look. The price is great, and I think I've figured out why: it has an asbestos tile roof.
So it probably needs a new roof anyway. Anyone have any experience getting rid of an asbestos tile roof and putting a new one on? Is it more expensive than just an average roof replacement?

Why that roof has been up there for decades...

I'd call a couple roofers or contractors you trust.

Are you in NOLA or somewhere else?

Get some Mexicans from home depot to help you remove the asbestos shingles and dump them somewhere.
Then go get your quotes to put the new roof on.

If u really like the house I would have the roof tested. A lab will test a sample for u for about $300. The last one I had checked came up neg and I would have swore it was asbestos. It was in a high traffic commercial area and the lam flooring tested pos so it was professionally removed. But usually I don't think people check that sort of thing very hard.
