Demolition

Shed removal and demolition

Emptied, torn down and hauled off. The floor and the skids go with it, and the back corner of the yard gets its space back.

The work

Two jobs stacked on top of each other

Nobody calls about an empty shed. They call about a shed that has been holding twelve years of storage, has a soft spot in the floor, and has a wasp nest in the eave. The building is only half the work. What is inside it is the other half.

We do both. The contents come out and go on the trailer. Then the shed comes apart, and that goes on the trailer too. One crew, one visit, and the back corner of the yard is empty when we leave.

That is the part a demolition contractor does not cover and a junk hauler will not touch. Between them, most people end up renting a dumpster and spending a weekend on it.

Comes out first

  • Storage totes, boxes and bags
  • Shelving, workbenches and pegboard
  • Yard tools, hoses and planters
  • Bikes, mowers and old furniture
  • Whatever got stacked underneath and behind it

Then the building

  • Doors, windows and hardware
  • Shingles, felt and roof decking
  • Siding, studs and rafters
  • Floor, joists and skids
  • Anchors, stakes and loose hardware

Types

Sheds do not all come apart the same

  • Wood framed shed on skids

    Studs, plywood or T1-11 siding, shingled roof, wood floor over runners. Comes apart in panels. The floor and the skids go too.

  • Metal or resin kit shed

    Sheet panels bolted together and anchored to a slab or to ground stakes. Thin steel edges, a lot of small hardware, and it usually collapses once the corners are loose.

  • Shed on a concrete slab

    The building comes off clean and the slab stays unless you want it broken out. Slab and pier removal is a separate conversation, so say so when you call.

  • Rotted or storm hit shed

    Soft floor, sagging roof, wasps, and half of it already on the ground. These are the ones people put off. They still come out.

From the library

The part people forget about

  • Junk stored under a shed: bin of foam mats, lamp shade, dog bed, boxes and garden tools
    Before

This is a real one out of our photo library. A bin of foam mats, a lamp shade, a dog bed, boxes and garden tools, all stored under a shed. It is the load that comes out before anybody picks up a pry bar. The write up is on the shed cleanout job page.

We are straight about our photos. This one has no GPS on it, so we are not going to tell you what town it was in, and we do not have a shed teardown on camera yet. The decks, fences and trampolines we do have are all on the projects page, shot on real jobs with the location attached.

Pricing

What changes the price

Footprint

An 8 by 10 storage shed and a 12 by 20 barn style building are different days and different trailer loads.

Build and roof

Metal kit sheds come down fast. Framed sheds with shingled roofs and plywood floors are heavier and take longer.

How full it is

A packed shed can be more volume than the building itself. Tell us roughly how much is still in there.

Access and anchors

Gate width, distance to the trailer, and whether the shed is bolted to a slab or staked into the ground.

Give us the size, the material, how full it is and how far it is from the driveway.

Before we start

Set these aside first

Chemicals and fuel

Paint, thinner, motor oil, gas cans, pesticides, fertilizer and pool chemicals stay out of the trailer. The landfill will not accept them. Your county or city runs household hazardous waste collection for exactly this.

Propane and pressure tanks

Grill bottles, camping cylinders and any pressurized tank get pulled aside. Most propane exchange racks will take an old bottle back.

Power and water to the shed

If somebody ran a circuit or a hose bib out to the shed, it needs to be disconnected at the source before demolition starts. A licensed electrician or plumber does that part, not a demolition crew.

Sheds also hold wasps, mud daubers, rats, snakes and rotten floors. None of that stops the job. It is worth mentioning on the phone so the crew shows up expecting it.

Related work

The rest of the back yard

Sheds usually come out at the same time as something else. Bundle them onto one call.

Shed removal questions

Does the shed have to be empty before you get there?
No. Emptying it is part of the job. Pull out anything you are keeping and leave the rest. Everything else loads on the trailer before the building comes apart.
Do you haul the debris or just knock it down?
We haul it. Siding, framing, roofing, the floor, the skids, the shelving inside and the contents all leave on the dump trailer in the same visit. A demolition only crew leaves you with a pile in the back yard.
What about the concrete slab underneath?
The slab stays unless you ask about it. Breaking out and hauling concrete is heavier work than the shed itself, so tell us on the phone if the pad has to go and we will tell you whether it is our job or a concrete contractor.
Is there anything you cannot take out of a shed?
Paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals and propane tanks do not go in the trailer. Those are household hazardous waste and the landfill will not take them. Set them aside and your county or city usually runs a collection site or a drop off event for them.
The shed is in the back yard behind a gate. Is that a problem?
Not usually, it just changes the price. Everything gets carried from the shed to the trailer by hand, so a narrow gate, a long side yard or a fence that has to be opened up all add time.
Can you take the shed and the fence and the deck at once?
Yes, and that is the cheapest way to do it. One mobilization, one trailer, one job. Backyard tear outs almost always come in twos and threes.
How much does shed removal cost?
It comes down to size, what the shed is built from, whether it is full and how far it sits from the trailer. Call (210) 723-9325 with the footprint, the material and a photo, and we can talk about it.
