Asbestos removal in Denver
If a test finds asbestos in material you need to disturb, Colorado decides who may remove it, how much notice the state gets, and where the waste goes.
Who must do it
Crumbly ("friable") asbestos above the trigger amounts must be removed by a Colorado-certified General Abatement Contractor, under a state permit the contractor files. Check a company on the state's list of certified abatement contractors.
The state permit
For a typical house the permit is $180 (30 days), $300 (90 days) or $420 (1 year). Larger jobs pay $400 to $1,200. Work starts after a 10-working-day notice to the state.
