Homeowner's Insurance for Asbestos-Clad House in St. Pete, FL
I recently bought, fixed up and rented out a house in St. Petersburg, Florida. The house, like many in the neighborhood, was built in the 50's and is clad in asbestos siding. The siding is in excellent condition and not deteriorating. However, after sending out their inspector my homeowner's insurance company dropped my coverage due to the siding. Does anyone know of any companies that will cover asbestos-clad houses? There must be some out there since this type of siding is very common in FL!
By the way, I am aware of the environmental/health issues surrounding asbestos siding. I bought the house with this taken into consideration.
