So I’ve been wanting to remodel my house, but I keep wanting to fix my ceilings. Two of the rooms in the house have what we believe is asbestos ceiling tiles. One room, the ceiling tiles are perfectly fine, but the other has one falling out, and gaps between the trim and tiles. I was trying to figure out if I’d be able to skim them, but was afraid the weight would pull them down or they would crack at the seams. Not sure how to go about this, but from what I’ve seen, asbestos removal is VERY pricey and not in my financial capabilities right now (or if ever). What’s my best options?
