Remodeling in Kildeer, IL - handled by one accountable team.

Kildeer asks for a permit on interior remodels

The Village of Kildeer’s residential guidelines say an approved building permit must be obtained before any construction begins, and its interior remodeling checklist, which covers basements, kitchens, and bathrooms, states that a permit is needed for interior remodeling. The application is signed by the homeowner and names every contractor, and each contractor must have a current registration on file with the village. Registration includes a certificate of insurance. Documents can be emailed, delivered to Village Hall on Quentin Road, or mailed.

Plans that answer the village checklist

Kildeer asks for two scaled copies of the floor plans marking what is existing and what is proposed, with all electrical work shown, plus a list of construction materials and a copy of the proposal or contract with the scope and cost. The checklist’s construction notes are specific. Electrical wiring must run in conduit only, and Romex is not permitted. GFCI protection is required within six feet of water and for outlets in unfinished areas. Plans should show the electric panel and available circuits, smoke and carbon monoxide detector locations, framing details, the means of egress, wall and floor finishes, cabinets, and firestopping. If a furnace, water heater, or dryer will be enclosed in a room, its BTU rating belongs in the submittal.

Room additions involve more steps. The addition checklist asks for a plat of survey showing setbacks, building plans, copies of state licenses from plumbers and electricians, written homeowners association approval in the subdivisions it lists, and a Lake County Health Department alteration approval when the home uses a septic system. Review by the village’s Architecture Committee may be necessary depending on where the addition sits on the property.

Inspections and the ADS walkthrough

Kildeer needs 24 hours notice for inspections, which take place Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the list of required inspections comes with permit approval. ADS offers kitchen, bathroom, basement, living-room, hallway, and home-addition remodeling in Kildeer, beginning with a free in-home estimate. The walkthrough notes panel capacity, existing wiring, plumbing runs, and any septic or HOA factors, so the written estimate reflects what the checklist will ask for.

• Your plat of survey, especially for an addition.
• The name of your subdivision and HOA contact.
• Whether the home is on septic or sewer.
• Photos of the finishes you want.
