Example project

Kitchen wall and sheet vinyl cleared before the kitchen opens into the family room

Example project

Home: Maple Grove two-story, 1970s, where a wall shuts the kitchen off from the family room
Original request: Take out the wall between the kitchen and the family room, add an island and a new floor
Testing: Remodel survey by an MDH-certified inspector: the wall, the ceiling texture, the kitchen sheet vinyl and the adhesive
Found: The wall’s joint compound tests positive; so does the kitchen sheet vinyl
Clear: Ceiling and vinyl adhesive negative
Area: Some 190 sq ft of the kitchen wall and 160 sq ft of its vinyl floor
Timeline: Survey, the five-day notice, then two working days
Cost: $4,300

In this example, the owners of a 1970s two-story house in Maple Grove want one open room where the kitchen and the family room meet. Their remodeler will take down the wall between them, set a beam and lay one floor across both rooms.

Asbestos testing and surveys

Sampling comes before anyone scrapes, cuts or tears out a material. An inspector certified by MDH collects small pieces of each one, and an accredited lab reports how much asbestos it holds. State law treats a material as asbestos-containing once the result passes 1 percent.

Popcorn ceiling removal

Thinking of scraping a textured ceiling or swapping a light fixture? Have it tested first, because popcorn texture is on MDH’s list of home materials that can contain asbestos. A positive ceiling is worked on inside sealed plastic, kept damp and bagged as it falls.

Floor tile and sheet vinyl removal

Vinyl tile, sheet vinyl and the glue under either can test positive. Since July 1, 2021, Minnesota counts flooring in homes of one to four units toward its asbestos work limits. Every layer gets sampled, and we lift only what the lab confirms.

Asbestos siding removal

Gray cement siding shingles and some roofing appear on MDH’s list of home materials that can hold asbestos. MDH says siding in good shape is best left alone, so we take off only the sections a re-side, new window or addition will disturb.

Duct and pipe insulation removal

Heating ducts, pipes and furnace connections in an older house may be wrapped in insulation that holds asbestos. We wet the wrap, strip it into labeled bags and leave bare metal for your HVAC installer or plumber.

Remodel and demolition abatement

Opening a wall for a bigger kitchen in a 1970s two-story? The plaster, tape mud and window putty get sampled first. Under state rules, confirmed asbestos leaves the building before renovation or demolition, houses included, and we clear it before your builder arrives.

Asbestos testing and removal costs

More than 2 in every 10 Maple Grove homes were built before 1980, so asbestos still turns up in our community. Our price ranges cover hired labor, materials, containment, lab fees and disposal for typical jobs in Maple Grove, Osseo and Corcoran. Expect the low figure for a small job with easy access, and the top for bigger areas, occupied buildings, second stories or extra air tests.

Our process

Sampling and site visit

We come out to see the rooms your project touches, and an MDH-certified inspector takes samples there. The quote is written from the lab report, so it covers only what tested positive.

State notice and containment

MDH must receive our notice at least five calendar days before removal begins, and filing it is the licensed contractor’s job, so we handle it. Work day starts with plastic walls and a HEPA negative air machine around the area.

Removal, clearance and disposal

Everything we take off is kept damp and goes into sealed, labeled bags. The plastic stays up until clearance air samples pass, and then the waste leaves with a manifest for the landfill.

Maple Grove homes and asbestos

Just over half of Maple Grove’s homes went up in 1990 or later, and the median home dates from 1991. About 1 in 4 is older than 1980, though, and the 1970s alone supplied nearly 1 in 5 of the homes standing today. Textured ceilings, vinyl floors, wrapped ducts and cement siding from that era are all worth a sample before work starts.

Building here peaked in the 1980s, which supplied more than 1 in 5 of today’s homes. MDH says asbestos roofing and siding faded fast after the early 1980s. For a house from those years, that is a reason to test rather than to guess either way.

Maple Grove permits and Hennepin County inspections

The city’s licenses and permits page points building applicants to an online permit portal and does not mention asbestos. MDH notes that cities may require a demolition permit of their own, so confirm what Maple Grove needs before you pick a demolition date.

Hennepin County inspects houses and commercial buildings here before demolition. Its Ordinance 7 says asbestos comes out before a building is demolished or renovated, and the owner or contractor must hold the paper trail. That means the survey and its report plus the receipts for abatement and the manifests for disposal, and we give you every page.

Hennepin County drop-off sites don’t accept asbestos, so the waste from a job goes to a landfill that does, under a manifest.

Frequently asked questions

Does a house built after 1988 need testing?

Maybe not. MDH says a letter from the architect or contractor can stand in for an inspection when it confirms that no asbestos went into a building finished after October 1988. Maple Grove’s median home was built in 1991, so check your year before you book.

Can I take asbestos out of my house myself?

Yes, if it is a single-family house and you live in it. MDH still strongly recommends a licensed contractor, and we are glad to price the job so you can weigh both choices.

How much asbestos counts as regulated work?

Pipe is measured by length and everything else by area. In a house or a building with four units or fewer, friable material on a pipe becomes licensed work at more than 10 linear feet, and on a ceiling, wall, floor or any other surface at more than 6 square feet. A cubic foot comes into play only where neither of those can be measured, and the line sits at more than 1 cubic foot. Buildings of five or more units use different figures. Smaller amounts fall outside the rules, yet MDH cautions that unregulated does not mean safe.

What goes into the price?

A bid from us lists labor, air monitoring and disposal, as MDH expects, then adds the state permit fee. That fee is $35 for a small home job and 3 percent of the cost of the asbestos work for larger ones. What else you pay depends on which material is involved, how much of it there is and how long the crew is on site. We give you a figure once we have walked the space and read the lab results.

What if suspect material turns up partway through a project?

Leave the material alone and call us before anything else is disturbed. A find partway through a renovation doesn’t count as an MDH emergency, so removal waits for the usual advance notice.
