US Asbestos Contracting provides professional asbestos roof removal throughout Akron, Ohio. Many Akron homes and commercial buildings constructed before 1980 used asbestos cement roofing — valued at the time for fire resistance and durability, but hazardous when shingles crack, weather, or are disturbed during reroofing.
Asbestos Roofing Materials We Remove
- Asbestos Cement Shingles: Common on Akron homes built 1920-1975. Brittle with age; must never be power-washed or broken during tear-off.
- Corrugated Asbestos Panels: Found on garages, industrial buildings, and warehouses throughout Summit County.
- Transite Roofing & Siding Panels: Dense cement-asbestos board used on commercial and institutional buildings.
- Built-Up Roofing & Flashing: Asbestos felts, mastics, and flashing cement on older flat roofs.
We inspect, test, and quote before any tear-off begins. No obligation.

Roofing work is one of the most common ways asbestos fibers are released in residential settings. Breaking, dropping, or sliding old cement shingles into a dumpster can contaminate the attic, yard, and neighboring properties. Ohio EPA regulations require proper notification, wetting methods, and disposal at a licensed facility — we handle all of it.
