Once renovations are complete, I will be moving my family into a condo built in 1966. At the start of renovation, I paid for the removal/abatement of all the flooring and the walls in the kitchen and bathroom. It has/had asbestos in walls and floors.

At the time, it didn't seem necessary to abate the entire apartment - after all, we were only changing the footprint of the bath & kitchen.

I've since learned that when they said the asbestos was in the walls, they meant in the drywall rather than behind the walls (oops). I'm concerned because there have been additional disturbances of the drywall by the contractors (cutting out closet shelves took out a bunch of drywall or rerouting the cable wires left a tunnel to be patched up afterwards).

Plus, I'm in the planning/decorating phase. I want to hang pictures and curtain rods and cabinets, wall mount a tv (with cords hidden), etc...Is it safe to do these and disturb the drywall, albeit in a less destructive fashion? I'm so close, after such a long renovation, to moving in that the idea of additional abatement hurts, but I want my family & friends to be safe.

Thank you!
