Garage, Shed & Barn Demolition Asbestos Inspections
Clear Your Permits & Start Your Project.
If you are planning to tear down a detached garage, an old barn, or a large shed in Colorado, your local building department likely requires a certified asbestos inspection report before they will issue a demolition permit.
At Colorado Asbestos Inspections, LLC, we specialize in these residential "small-batch" jobs. While big firms are busy with industrial high-rises, we focus on helping homeowners and local contractors get their outbuilding projects cleared, tested, and moving forward without the headache.

Why Do I Need an Inspection for a Garage?
In Colorado, many municipalities require an asbestos survey for any structure destined for demolition—regardless of the age of the building. Asbestos wasn't just in popcorn ceilings; it was commonly used in:
Exterior Siding: Transite panels and cement shingles.
Roofing Materials: Tar, felts, and asphalt shingles.
Window Glazing: The putty used to seal old glass panes.
Interior Materials: Wallboard, joint compound, or floor tiles in "man cave" or workshop conversions.
We Specialize in "Permit-Ready" Outbuildings
We’ve streamlined our process to focus on the structures that matter most to your property:
1. Detached Garages
Whether you’re clearing space for a new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) or replacing a leaning vintage garage, we provide the specific survey documentation required by city building departments.
2. Barns & Workshops
Larger outbuildings often have a mix of materials added over decades. We identify exactly what is present so your demo crew can work safely.
3. Sheds & Storage Buildings
Don't let a small shed stall your project. We offer quick site visits to sample roofing or siding materials, ensuring you stay compliant with state and local regulations.
The Stress-Free 3-Step Process
We know you want to get the "paperwork phase" over with. We make it easy:
Quick Scheduling: We find a time that fits your week. No 4-hour arrival windows—just professional, punctual service.
Professional Sampling: We take the necessary samples from the garage or shed.
Digital Report Delivery: Once the lab results are in, we email you a professional PDF report that is ready to be uploaded directly to your city’s permit portal.
