If your Bakersfield home was built before the late 1980s, there’s a good chance asbestos hides in popcorn ceilings, flooring mastics, attic insulation, or old HVAC duct wrap. Disturbing those materials during a renovation can release dangerous fibers that cause lung disease and cancer. CountBricks delivers a streamlined, fully documented asbestos removal process that keeps your family safe, protects property value, and accelerates project timelines.
• Voice-powered site walks: Our project managers capture real-time observations with CountBricks’ mobile voice app. The AI instantly builds itemized asbestos abatement estimates—all before we leave your driveway.
• Live materials database: CountBricks syncs with regional disposal fees, labor rates, and certified lab testing costs specific to Bakersfield CA, so your quote is always current.
• Blueprint takeoffs in minutes: Upload your floorplan to CountBricks.com/takeoffs and our AI highlights potential asbestos zones, letting you see scope, quantities, and costs visually.
1. Inspection and sampling: A CountBricks-certified inspector gathers material samples and submits them to an accredited local laboratory.
2. Detailed estimate: Once lab results confirm asbestos, our AI calculates line-by-line costs for containment, removal, disposal, and drywall or texture replacement.
3. Permit coordination: CountBricks files all San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District notifications and secures city permits on your behalf.
4. Containment setup: We install negative-pressure enclosures, HEPA air scrubbers, and decontamination chambers to isolate work areas.
5. Safe abatement: Trained CountBricks crews wet-strip asbestos materials, double-bag debris, and transport waste to a licensed Bakersfield facility.
6. Clearance and rebuild: Third-party air monitoring verifies the area is clean. Then our drywall and texture teams restore surfaces so you can paint the next day.
• Local compliance expertise: We navigate Kern County regulations, so you avoid fines and project delays.
• One-call solution: From testing to final paint, CountBricks handles every step—no juggling multiple contractors.
• Transparent pricing: The number you see on your AI-generated estimate is the number on your final invoice. No surprises.
• Faster turnaround: Integrated scheduling means asbestos removal and rebuild crews are lined up back-to-back, cutting downtime by up to 40 percent.
Material type and quantity
Floor tile mastic costs less to remove than friable attic insulation because fewer containment measures are required.
Accessibility
Single-story homes with open attic access are more economical than two-story houses with tight crawlspaces.
Project bundle
Pairing removal with planned remodeling lets CountBricks stage crews efficiently and pass savings on to you.
Disposal distance
Although Bakersfield has authorized disposal sites, rural homeowners may see higher hauling fees based on mileage.
• 800 sq ft living room: $2,900–$3,800 (testing, containment, removal, skim-coat, retexture)
• 2,200 sq ft whole-house: $7,800–$10,200 (rooms, halls, closets, repaint-ready)

Microscopic asbestos fibers lodge deep in the lungs. The EPA reports a latency period of 20–50 years before mesothelioma symptoms appear. Even minor DIY drilling can generate airborne concentrations above OSHA’s permissible exposure limit. CountBricks’ certified supervisors ensure crews wear full PPE, maintain negative pressure, and run post-project HEPA air tests so your indoor air is proven safe.
• Book inspections early—lab turnaround can take 3–5 days
• Temporarily move pets and small children during removal
• Reserve short-term storage to clear furniture from affected rooms
• Ask CountBricks about combining duct replacement for added energy savings
• Keep final paint colors handy—our rebuild crew can prime and finish same day clearance passes

A 1974 ranch near Stockdale Highway needed kitchen expansion and new HVAC ducting. Lab tests confirmed asbestos in ceiling texture and old return plenum tape.
1. AI estimate in 17 minutes: Using our voice app, the project manager described ceiling square footage, duct run lengths, and disposal site distance. The homeowner received a detailed $6,450 quote before we left.
2. Coordinated timeline: Containment setup began Monday 7 a.m.; removal finished Tuesday noon; clearance air test passed by 4 p.m.; drywall crew re-textured Wednesday; painters wrapped Thursday. The kitchen remodel started a full week earlier than originally planned.
3. Savings delivered: Bundling duct replacement with asbestos removal saved $750 in duplicate containment costs, and the client qualified for a local energy rebate highlighted by CountBricks.
• Agricultural dust can clog HEPA filters faster than in coastal regions. CountBricks budgets extra filter sets to avoid costly delays.
• Summer temperatures soar above 100°F. Our crews stage negative-pressure units outside shaded areas and schedule peak labor hours early morning to maintain comfort and energy efficiency.
• Earthquake safety: When we rebuild ceilings, CountBricks offers modern shear panel upgrades that boost structural resilience without significant added cost.
