Overall, the national average for asbestos removal price ranges from $800 to $3,000. An entire house or building, however, could average tens of thousands of dollars. Depending on the asbestos abatement cost per square foot, a complete asbestos removal for a 1,500-square-feet home could run as high as $20,000 to $30,000.
I have seen costs run from as low as $0.60/SF to $1.25/SF (for removal only). Generally, remove and recoat with a surface texture of some kind (anything but smooth) and paint will run you about $2.50-3.50/SF. Now the bad news - if asbestos containing, can run from $5-10/SF.
