Demolition Services in Lakeview, IL

Demolition services for Lakeview properties

Lakeview has dense two-flats, three-flats and courtyard buildings, and that changes how we approach demolition services here. The specific thing we run into most is public walk repair along busy pedestrian streets.

We handle interior demolition, garage and structure tear-downs, concrete removal, and the disposal that goes with all of it, across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Interior demolition and strip-outs

Kitchen and bath gut-outs, full-floor strip-outs for a rehab, drywall and plaster removal, flooring, cabinetry and fixtures. The job is as much about protection as removal: floor protection on the path out, dust containment on the openings, and the building's common areas left clean at the end of each day.

Selective and structural demolition

Chicago is one of the hardest climates in the country on concrete. The freeze-thaw cycle runs from November into March, de-icing salt goes down on every driveway and public walk, and the clay soil underneath holds water instead of draining it. Concrete that survives here is air-entrained, poured on a compacted stone base, pitched so water leaves, jointed on a proper grid, and kept away from salt through its first winter.
