Why Asbestos Testing Is Critical in Coral Gables Properties

Coral Gables, known as “The City Beautiful”, is filled with Mediterranean Revival architecture and neighborhoods developed in the early to mid-20th century. Many of these buildings were constructed with materials now known to contain asbestos, including insulation, vinyl tiles, textured ceiling plaster, and stucco. As these structures age, undisturbed asbestos can remain hidden—making professional testing essential before renovations, sales, or restorations.

Coral Gables Structures That Often Require Testing

Examples Include:

  • The Biltmore Hotel – Built in 1926, likely included asbestos in original construction materials.
  • The Merrick House – Features finishes and wall systems dating back to the 1920s.
  • Residential Zones – The Country Club Section and Coral Estates have numerous homes built before 1978 that may still contain asbestos in attic insulation, duct wrap, or joint compound.
