Asbestos siding removal in Hazel Dell, WA

Unincorporated Clark County postwar suburb along Highway 99: 1950s and 60s ranches and ramblers, the decades when cement asbestos shingle and flat board were sold as a maintenance free upgrade.

Call (360) 838-1233

Hazel Dell grew up along Highway 99 after the war as the first real suburb north of the city line, and the ranches and ramblers on the side streets off 78th and 99 are the heart of our work there. These houses were built from the early 1950s into the late 60s, which is squarely the period when cement asbestos siding was marketed as the siding you would never have to paint. Plenty of owners painted it anyway, which is why it is easy to miss from the street.

Because Hazel Dell is unincorporated, there is no city permit office involved in the removal and no city design review. The Southwest Clean Air Agency rule is the same as inside Vancouver: a notice, a fee that depends on square footage, and a 10 day wait before removal. Any reside permit after the fact goes through Clark County Community Development.

The ranches here are long and low, which is good news for the price. Burnt Bridge Siding Removal can reach most of the wall from the ground or a short ladder, so the per square foot rate stays at the low end of our table, and a 1,300 to 1,700 square foot wrap is a two day job for a crew of three.

Why the back of the house is often different

Many Hazel Dell ranches have the cement shingle only on the front elevation and the sides, with the back wall in original wood or later T1-11. We measure what is actually there, not the whole perimeter, and the notice is filed for the real square footage.

Pricing in Hazel Dell follows the same table as everywhere we work. The cost guide lists every range, and the SWCAA notice page explains the 10 day wait and who may legally do the work.

Hazel Dell homeowners usually want to know

My Hazel Dell rambler was built in 1958. What are the odds the siding is asbestos?
High if the siding is a rigid gray or painted board that rings when you tap it and shows a chalky edge where it is chipped. Late 1950s ranches in Hazel Dell were sold with cement asbestos shingle as a standard option. A lab sample confirms it for $40 to $90.
Is there a county permit for taking asbestos siding off?
No county permit for the removal. The only filing is the Southwest Clean Air Agency notice, which we handle, and it carries a 10 day wait. If you reside afterward, the new siding may need a Clark County building permit depending on scope.
What is the realistic price for a one story rambler here?
For 1,300 to 1,700 square feet of intact siding on a flat lot, $8,000 to $14,000 including the $384 notice fee and disposal. The low end is a house with a full crawl around it and no second layer.
Can I do it myself since I live in the house?
Yes. Washington lets the occupant of an owner occupied single family house remove it with a $39 SWCAA notice. The agency publishes a procedure for cement board siding and it is real work: respirators, wetting, plastic, labeled bags, and a landfill trip. We are happy to quote the job for comparison so you can decide with a number in front of you.
How long does it take once the wait is over?
Two working days for most ramblers. Day one is setup, plastic and the long walls. Day two finishes the gables and trim, and the bags leave on the trailer. You get the manifest copy within the week.
