Asbestos siding can pose an interesting problem for homeowners as some siding that is 50+ years old is still in perfect condition.
Most homeowners (and potential homebuyers) would much rather there be no asbestos siding or other materials in the home but removing it can actually be more dangerous than leaving it be.
GAF and James Hardie make several different lines of asbestos replacement shingles that match the profile and look of older siding.
Painting asbestos siding is also a very legitimate option, especially if it's still in good shape as it takes paint well and a fresh coat of paint can really spruce up old, tired-looking siding.
Asbestos is still a boogeyman of sorts in the eyes of many but some homeowners and potential home buyers now realize that it doesn't pose a threat as long as asbestos material is intact and undisturbed.
