Asbestos has significant health issues even in small amounts - 2-3% is
enough to pose a significant risk to you and your family if you tried
to remove this stuff yourself. You never get it all no matter how
careful you are because you don't have the training and equipment the
pros do. Leave it to them, and realize you're paying for peace of mind.

What is the hazard in the removal? I think you are over reacting in this
case. So what if you don't get it all, the paint will cover and seal it.
