Testing before renovation costs $250–$800 and is strongly recommended for any pre-1980 home in The Woodlands.
The Woodlands is a planned community in Montgomery County north of Houston that began development in 1974.

Grogan's Mill (developed from 1974) and Panther Creek (developed from 1977) have the oldest housing stock in The Woodlands and the highest likelihood of pre-1978 materials. Homes built in these village sections before the 1978 EPA ban on asbestos in spray-applied materials may contain asbestos in popcorn ceiling texture.
Newer village sections developed in the 1980s and later are unlikely to have asbestos-containing materials. If you are not sure when your home was built, county records or the original sale documents are the simplest way to confirm.

In a pre-1980 Woodlands home, the materials most worth testing before renovation are popcorn ceiling texture, 9x9 inch vinyl floor tiles and their adhesive, pipe insulation wrapping, and any attic insulation that has not been replaced. Popcorn ceiling is by far the most common asbestos-containing material in this era.
Testing before disturbing these materials is the only reliable way to confirm whether they contain asbestos. Professional contractors can manage testing, containment, removal, and licensed disposal as needed.
