working over asbestos roofs

Apparently one single garage roof has replaced recently with box profile sheet at a cost of 4.5-5K, so either the sheeting is the real deal or the customer had their leg lifted.

The newer sheets are mixed cellulose and cement, the older stuff was asbestos fibers and cement 15-20 percent I believe low risk.

Price for the easiest and safest option, if they can't afford it let someone else take the risk while you're making easier money elsewhere.

 

Are you really hungry enough to make the headache worthwhile?

I think the trouble with boarding and working on the roof is that if it cracks and there's a big cleanup bill your insurance company might say that's not accidental damage, you've been walking around on it all day and that was entirely avoidable.

To me it's mewp or crane, whichever is easier.
