How do you guys go about Popcorn/Asbestos Ceilings?

Do you guys pay to get popcorn ceilings with asbestos removed? or do you guys do it yourself?

Is there any advantage or benefit to having it done professionally and providing paperwork to an appraiser during a re-appraisal?

 I would never touch an asbestos ceiling or consider doing it myself. I would hire a professional remediation company to remove it properly and safely. I have known multiple people that died from lung cancer due to asbestos. 

Also be aware not all popcorn ceiling has asbestos, so have it tested.
