Our Garage Demolition Process in Round Lake Park

1

Initial Consultation and Site Assessment

We visit your Round Lake Park property (usually Lakewood, Sunrise, or near Dawnwood Park area) within 24 hours of your call. Our crew inspects the garage structure, identifies materials (wood frame, asbestos shingles, lead paint), checks HOA restrictions, and takes photos. This appointment takes 20-30 minutes and is always free.

2

Permit Application and Environmental Testing

Cortes submits your Round Lake Park building permit application (turnaround 5-7 business days). If your home was built before 1985, we order Phase I environmental testing ($400-$600) to check for asbestos in roofing and insulation. Illinois requires this documentation before demolition begins.

3

Utility Disconnection and Structure Demolition

Licensed electrician and gas technician disconnect utilities (1 day). Demolition crew then systematically removes roofing, siding, framing, and foundation using excavator and air compressor. Average 400-600 sq ft garage takes 2-3 days. All debris is separated: metal to scrap yards, wood to biomass facilities, concrete to recyclers.

4

Site Restoration and Final Inspection

We remove all debris (typically 8-12 tons) within 7 days, grade the site, and add topsoil. Round Lake Park building inspector approves site (usually 2-3 day wait). Final permit sign-off required. Total project completion: 10-14 calendar days.
