Asbestos siding removal in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Cement asbestos siding, sometimes called transite, was common on mid-century homes and garages across Metro Detroit. The shingles are rigid and brittle, often with a textured or wavy face, and they are generally non-friable while intact. The risk comes from breaking, cutting, drilling, sanding or power washing them, which is what happens during a residing job if the crew is not prepared.
Homeowners usually have three choices: leave intact siding alone and protect it with paint, cover it with new siding installed so the old shingles are not broken, or have it removed. Removal crews wet the shingles, pull or cut nails to lift each piece off whole, and wrap them for disposal rather than smashing them into a dumpster. The ground below is covered with plastic sheeting.
Test a shingle first with asbestos testing, then line up siding pros for the new exterior.
What a proper job includes
- Lab confirmation of the siding material
- Plastic sheeting on the ground and protection of nearby windows and vents
- Wetting shingles before and during removal
- Removing shingles whole by pulling or cutting nails, not breaking panels
- Wrapping and labeling for disposal at an accepting facility
- Ground cleanup including fragments and nails
- Coordination with the siding installer for the next step
What drives the price
- Wall area and number of stories
- Ladder, scaffold or lift access and landscaping in the way
- Condition: brittle or broken shingles take more care
- Detached garages or sheds in the same scope
- Covering over versus full removal
- Disposal volume
- Weather: wind and freezing temperatures affect wet methods and scheduling

Licensing and certification in Michigan
Michigan's asbestos abatement contractor license rule applies to friable asbestos, and siding that is broken or crumbled during removal can become friable. Hire a contractor licensed through the MIOSHA Asbestos Program with accredited workers, and ask them to explain how state rules apply to your job, including any project notification.
A privately owned home with four or fewer units is generally outside the federal NESHAP rules enforced by EGLE, but groups of homes renovated as one project by the same owner are covered. Ask your city or township, or BSEED in Detroit, whether the new siding needs a building permit.

Common questions
Asbestos Siding Removal FAQ
Intact cement asbestos siding is generally low risk because the fibers are bound in cement. Breaking, sanding, drilling or power washing it can release fibers.
Often, if the installer can fasten through without breaking the old shingles. Ask the installer how they will handle it and keep a record of what remains underneath.
Painting intact shingles is a common way to protect them. Avoid scraping, sanding or power washing first, since those can damage the surface.
Cement shingles on older homes are a common suspect, but only a lab test of a sample confirms it.
