• In New Jersey, unless you are demolishing your property, you do not need a licensed asbestos contractor to remove asbestos containing shingles/siding.  The law permits a siding contractor to perform the removal.
  • Not all vermiculite contains asbestos.  Have it tested by an accredited laboratory to confirm/disprove the presence of asbestos.
  • In New Jersey, any quantity over 3 square or 3 linear feet is regulated.  Any quantity over 1% is considered asbestos containing.
  • Besides vinyl floor tile and linoleum, the mastic or glue that holds the floor covering to the substrate can also contain asbestos.  Have both the floor covering and mastic tested.
