asbestos roof replacement

Question

how much does it cost to replace an asbestos roof to a normal roof ?

Peter · Accepted Answer

This depends one on the size of the roof . Two on other aspects like detail what material you chose etc . The major issue with asbestos is the disposal but allow 1500 for the average house to dispose of the asbestos slate . Although you can take them bit by bit to the recyling center as a local resident .
