You can limit the spread of bulk dirt and debris but it's impossible to stop the fine particles from finding their way into every closet, space, and surface in the house.

My understanding is the asbestos particles could possibly be released if, say a nail was pounded into he wall to hang a picture, or someone cuts into the wall. 

I'm sure I'll get the frown down from some on this but this is how I see it: If asbestoes related stuff needs to be fixed, I'll do it myself and take care not to inhale particles.

Shingles and siding are really not a big deal, asbestos becomes an issue when particles are released into the air and you inhale them...say for example if you were sanding floor tiles or cutting an old insulated duct with a sawzall. 

It may be more stain resistant in the lighter colors, but you can't put a hot pan right on it like you can granite since it's really just stone particles cast in plastic resin.

The average floor (section) weighted around 10,000lbs or less and the list goes onBut whence getting into it here's what we finally had to do:That's not to mention the caustic and carcinogenic materials and chemicals i.e. formaldehyde and asbestos used in the particle board sub flooring, countertops, insulation and ceiling materials, etc.

Plywood, soft close doors and drawers, etc... for less than I could get the cheap HD or Lowes particle board stuff.

While it's pretty convenient but the cabinets are particle board. 

Wood bath vanities last longer than particle board and are worth the extra expense. 

For such a small job, I didn't care to rent a real texture sprayer, but got great results from the aerosol canned texture.
