If your Cambridge home was built before the mid-1980s, its popcorn texture may contain asbestos, since the material was commonly used from the 1950s through the late 1970s and into the early-to-mid 1980s before regulations phased it out. We recommend lab testing before any scraping begins; testing runs $300 to $500 and results typically take a few days. Homes built after the mid-1980s carry much lower risk but can still be tested on request. If a sample comes back positive, removal must follow certified asbestos abatement procedures rather than standard scraping.
