Asbestos siding removal in Camas, WA

Mill town core: the grid around downtown and the paper mill is 1920s to 1960s housing where cement asbestos shingle was common; Prune Hill and the newer hills skew the citywide median to 2002 but hold little of this material.

Camas is two towns as far as siding goes. The hills, Prune Hill and the newer tracts toward Lacamas Lake, were built from the 1990s on and have no cement asbestos board on them. The grid downtown, from the mill up through the streets behind 4th Avenue and over into Forest Home, is mill housing from the 1920s through the 60s, and that is where the transite shingle lives.

Downtown Camas houses tend to be well kept and close together, often with mature trees against the walls. We bring a smaller crew and more plastic to these jobs, work one elevation at a time, and keep the bags on the trailer instead of staged in the yard. Many of these owners are doing a full exterior restoration, so the removal is the first step before new cedar or fiber cement and we schedule to match the siding crew.

For anyone buying a downtown Camas house, Burnt Bridge Siding Removal can turn around a written number from the listing photos and the address, usually the same day you ask, so you know what the siding line in your offer should be.

Alleys make downtown jobs easier

Camas downtown blocks have alleys, which helps: the trailer sits in the alley, the bags go straight out the back, and the street side of the house stays clear. Ask us about alley access when you call and we will plan the staging around it.

Camas owners and buyers ask

Does a house on Prune Hill ever have asbestos siding?
Almost never. Prune Hill was built from the 1990s on, after asbestos cement siding was off the market. If a Prune Hill listing mentions it, it is usually a mislabeled fiber cement product, and a lab sample for $40 to $90 will prove it.
We are restoring a 1930s house downtown. Can you remove the shingle without damaging the original wood underneath?
That is the goal on every job and it works on most of these houses. The shingles are face nailed through felt into the original siding. We lift nails rather than pry, keep the board whole, and the old cedar or drop siding comes through with nail holes and little else.
What will a two story house behind 4th Avenue cost?
Two story downtown houses with 1,800 to 2,200 square feet of siding run $15,000 to $24,000 including the $384 Southwest Clean Air Agency notice and disposal. Scaffold on the tall elevations is what puts these in the two story rate.
How far ahead do we need to call?
At least two weeks, because the SWCAA notice carries a 10 day wait and we file only after the lab result is in hand. Three weeks is comfortable if you also need the sample taken.
Will you coordinate with our siding contractor?
Yes. We set the removal to finish the day before your siding crew starts, send them the manifest copy, and leave the walls swept and the ground plastic gone so they are not working around our setup.
