I did a kitchen reno and found asbestos in the underlayment under linoleum floor that was tiled over. I did the abatement myself. Bought a respirator with the proper cartridges, and tyvek coveralls. It all came up in large chunks with very little dust.
It all depends on the medium, if it is fryable, meaning will create any dust, get a professional. if you can remove it in chunks, then I would do it myself.
I also don't believe that a one time exposure by the average Joe, especially if you are a non smoker, will have any real long term impacts. You have to evaluate your own risk level.
Depending on the level of contamination you can budget between 10-50k.
