Handyman Bob was a radio personality in the Portland metro area for nearly 10 years. He’s now an accredited contractor who conducts asbestos surveys.
So DEQ’s Hillarie Sales and Dylan Darling had Bob Strong (that’s his real name) join them on the podcast to learn more about asbestos. Bob shared stories from the field and offered advice to renters, homeowners and prospective homebuyers who are thinking about remodeling or renovating an older home. Asbestos might be an issue, but it is manageable when you know what to do.
This episode complements Ep 27. All About Asbestos, when Hillarie and Dylan spoke with DEQ asbestos inspectors Akim Williams and David Russell.
