Synopsis

Under the supervision of a state official, the asbestos abatement team begins removing the house's shingles. First, the master carpenter visits a laboratory to confirm the presence of asbestos in the roofing material, and the homeowner consults with a physician about the fiber’s health risks. Returning to the property, the crew establishes its staging area, and the Gallants discuss the estimate – a substantial $91,000 – in relation to their budget of $80,000.
