Factors That Affect Cost

• Type and location of material: Pipe insulation and floor tile are typically less expensive to abate than ceiling or wall materials requiring full enclosure.

• Contractor availability: Limited local contractor supply can increase pricing; allow extra lead time in smaller markets.

How to Hire a Contractor in Roseville

1. Confirm licensing. Verify the contractor holds a current Michigan asbestos abatement license and appropriate AHERA accreditations for supervisors and workers.
2. Obtain an inspection first. A certified asbestos inspector (separate from the abatement contractor) should sample and test suspect materials before abatement begins.
3. Get written quotes. Request itemized quotes from at least three licensed contractors covering labor, air monitoring, disposal fees, and clearance testing.
4. Verify notification filing. Confirm the contractor will file the required notice with Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Air Quality Division; Roseville/Macomb County projects notify EGLE Southeast Michigan District Office (Detroit area) at least 10 working days before work begins.
5. Request clearance documentation. Upon project completion, obtain air monitoring results and a written clearance report confirming fiber levels are below applicable action levels.
