Asbestos in older roofs
Asbestos in an older roof releases harmful fibers once it’s disturbed or damaged.
Asbestos roofs that have been in place for many years may start to deteriorate. Weathering, aging and physical damage can release fibers into the air, where they’re easily inhaled.
That’s why removal belongs with professionals equipped to handle asbestos safely. We specialize in residential asbestos roof removal in New Orleans, from testing to the new roof.

How it runs
Our Asbestos Removal Process
Four steps, from confirming the asbestos to a new roof over your head.
Inspection
A thorough inspection of the roof and any other materials you suspect contain asbestos.
Testing
Asbestos fibers are microscopic, so proper testing confirms what’s there before anything is disturbed.
Safe Removal
Specialized equipment and strict safety protocols keep fibers from spreading during removal.
Re-Roofing
A new roof in asphalt shingles, metal, tile or slate, chosen for your home and budget.
Step one is an inspection. The estimate is free.
