In making preparations to begin your Home improvement project, consider the timing of the required asbestos removal notification process. If your
project is one in which an asbestos permit is required, in most circumstances there is a waiting period for the processing of your projects required
permit. For your convenience here are some of the required forms for your review.
We strive to uphold our reputation in the industry and cooperate fully with governing regulatory agencies. The Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment provides an up to date list of contractors, supervisors and owners who have been notified of regulatory violations.
Find out if your contractor is on the list
( If your contractor is not listed then they have no pending violations).
Catastrophe clean-up such as this may have a
combination of many environmental concerns.
Asbestos testing is your foremost concern if the
property is pre 1989 construction. A contractor
familiar with both asbestos and microbial
concerns may need to respond.
There are certain instances when removing an asbestos containing material can result in a more decorative finish if your contractor is sensitive to what your overall objective is.

This asbestos boiler
insulation has been
saturated with moisture
and should be
appropriately removed
and disposed of prior to

If your planning a home improvement, a simple home renovation, a demolition of a residence or commercial property for future development in Colorado. Asbestos inspection and testing of the suspect asbestos containing materials that will be impacted is required.

Asbestos floor tiles
are a non-friable
asbestos product.
Typically leaving the
material alone in an
undamaged condition
or covering over the
material is accepted.
However, if damage
to the material will
take place while
installing or removing
other over-layed floor
the material should
be removed
appropriately.

Many home owners and renovation contractors are unaware that "home improvement" projects may impact suspect
asbestos containing materials, and that it is illegal to improperly disturb asbestos containing materials. A certified
asbestos removal contractor (General Abatement Contractor) must remove asbestos containing materials that are
regulated or may become regulated prior to disturbance by renovation or demolition activities. We have seen many
violations of the regulatory requirement result in project delays and monetary penalties. Whether your planning a home
improvement by removing the 70's "popcorn" type ceiling texture, a kitchen or bath remodel, change in design and
demolition of existing walls, replacement of an old furnace or boiler, replacing the old exterior siding, or even
demolishing an existing structure, have your project inspected by a licensed Colorado Certified Asbestos Building
Inspector before you begin.
Some asbestos products used in the construction industry that may be encountered in a home
improvement project are, but not limited to;
Sheetrock taping, drywall or plaster mud, ceiling and wall texture coatings, vinyl floor tiles, floor sheeting,
adhesives and ceiling tiles, heat duct wrap or seam tape, plasters and stucco's, acoustical ceilings, putty,
fireproofing or insulation, roofing tars and felts, exterior shingles or siding "transite" panels, counter-tops,
pipe insulation, caulk, gaskets, low density insulation board , thermal and chemical insulation (i.e., fire
rated doors, limpet spray, lagging and gaskets), asbestos-cement sheets and pipes for construction,
casing for water and electrical/telecommunication services.

Vinyl sheet flooring as can generally be found in
residential bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, entry
ways, as well as many public and commercial areas

well used Home Improvement Guide by Home Depot

the guide. This type of removal should be conducted
by a professional and often requires a permit in the
State of Colorado.
