Denton has some of the oldest houses in the county.
Denton's historic neighborhoods, including the Oak-Hickory and Bell Avenue areas and the streets around the courthouse square, have homes going back well over a century. Many have been remodeled several times, which means layers of flooring, patched plaster and textured ceilings from different decades.
Beyond the historic core, a lot of Denton was built out in the 1950s through the 1970s, the peak years for asbestos in household materials. Those ranch houses and rentals near the universities are exactly the kind of homes where a quick test before a remodel or sale makes sense.
Where asbestos tends to hide in Denton homes
- Pre-1940Plaster walls, old pipe and boiler insulation, layered flooring, siding
- 1950s–60sVinyl and asphalt floor tile with black mastic, duct wrap, textured walls
- 1970sPopcorn ceilings, drywall joint compound, sheet vinyl
Built after the mid-1980s? Asbestos is much less likely. Call or text and I'll help you decide whether testing is worth it.

Do older Denton rentals need testing before renovation?
If you're a landlord planning to replace flooring, scrape ceilings or open walls in an older rental, testing first is the smart move. It protects you, your contractors and your tenants, and tells you whether you need a licensed abatement contractor before work starts.
Can you test a Denton house before closing?
Yes. I work with buyers and realtors on pre-purchase testing. Results can come back in as little as 24 hours, which helps when you're working inside an option period.
Do you cover all of Denton?
Yes, every neighborhood in Denton, plus nearby Sanger, Corinth, Argyle, Cross Roads and Aubrey.
