Shed Demolition 101: An Overview of the Process

When done properly, shed demolition is a fairly straightforward operation. Here are a few things to know about shed demolition, cleanout, and removal.


There are Many Benefits to Getting Rid of That Old Shed


Removing an old shed from a property can offer various benefits. For one thing, demolishing an aging shed can improve the look of a yard, a specific property area, or the landscape as a whole. This can then add value to your home and eliminate an eyesore. 


Plus, you will have more usable yard space, be able to put up a new shed and help your lawn revive and grow back where the old shed once stood. Not to mention, dilapidated sheds can pose a genuine safety risk, especially for children that may play close to or in an area like this. So, you will also be adding to the safety of any outdoor space by removing a shed that isn’t structurally sound. 


Understanding how to properly remove a storage shed is key. Otherwise, you could wind up with a real mess on your hands. Once again, hiring experts to do the job is almost always the safest, most effective, and simplest route to take. 


There are two main ways to remove a shed:


  1. Demolishing it using heavy equipment like an excavator or backhoe.
  2. Deconstructing a shed piece by piece in search of salvage materials.

What's the Cost To Tear Down A Shed In Delaware?

The cost to have someone come out and tear down a shed for you can range anywhere from $300 - $2,000. It will all depend on your situation. Factors like dumping fees, the location of the shed, the size of the shed, any tools used during the demolition process, labor requirements, team size requirements, whether you need heavy equipment, and so on, can all affect how much the final cost will be. 


If you are planning on tearing down a shed yourself, remember, the cost to rent a dumpster and heavy equipment like a backhoe or excavator must be taken into account as well. This is just another reason that hiring a professional is such a good option.

How to Demo a Shed

Now that we've gone over some of the main points of tearing down a shed, let's break down the demolition process step by step. 

  • Preparation

    Before you can tear down a shed, you will need to follow a few preparation steps. For one thing, you will need to clean it out. If your shed is in bad condition, be careful as you remove items. The goal is to safely extract anything that you want to keep so that the tear-down can go smoothly. 


    Next, you will need to obtain any necessary permits from local authorities. Sometimes, using heavy equipment requires a permit as well. It will depend on the city and county ordinances where you live. You'll also need to have an array of tools to help dismantle the shed and move debris, parts, and pieces from the demolition location. 


    From there, you will need to make sure that all utilities are shut off. This could include electricity, gas, water, and so on. It's also smart to notify your neighbors that you will be conducting a noisy project. Especially, if destruction or noise will be a concern where you live.

  • Safety Gear

    It's also important to make sure that you have the right safety gear and equipment on hand before you begin the tear-down process. You may need safety equipment such as hard hats, gloves, safety glasses, and sturdy footwear. 

  • Removal of Doors and Windows

    After all preparation measures are complete, the demolition process can begin. Generally, demolishing a shed begins with removing all doors and windows. Extracting the windows is important because it prevents them from shattering during destruction. Removing doors helps to make things go faster by weakening a structural component.

  • Dismantling the Inside

    Once the doors and windows are gone, you can begin dismantling the shed from the inside. Clear out any remaining content that you don't plan to keep or salvage. If the shed has electricity, carefully remove any light fixtures and outlets.

  • Removing the Roof

    Now, you will want to remove the roof of the shed. Depending on the type and size of the shed, the roof can be removed in sections or as a whole. The size and height of the shed may make this step more complicated. If in doubt, contact a demolition service for assistance

  • Dismantling Walls

    Generally, the walls of a shed will need to be knocked down one by one, beginning at the top and working downward. During the stage, make sure that the walls do not fall onto the neighboring property or cause any injuries to others. 

  • Floor Removal

    Removing shed flooring can be quite an undertaking. You will need to remove any foreign material and then remove the subfloor if one is present. 

  • Cleanup and Disposal

    After the shed has been thoroughly demolished, it's time to clean up all remaining debris and dispose of it responsibly. Depending on where you live, waste disposal regulations may require that you move materials to a designated construction debris area. Some materials may be recyclable, while others may require special disposal methods. It is important to ensure the site is left clean and safe.

Should you hire a professional to tear down a shed?

Generally, hiring a professional demolition company to remove a shed from your property is the best option. Here are some reasons to hire a service to help you tear down your shed. 

1.  A Demolition and Clean Out Service Can Streamline the Process

First off, a junk removal + clean-out company that offers demo services can also help you remove the junk from your shed before tearing it down. This vastly helps with decluttering an area and simplifying the whole operation.

2. You May Need a Permit to Tear Down an Outbuilding Like a Shed

Depending on where you live, certain restrictions may exist that regulate whether or not you need to hire professionals to remove a shed for you. There may also be licenses needed to operate certain types of equipment or regulations regarding where you can haul any leftover debris. 

3. Experts Can Tear Down a Shed Quickly and Safely

Skilled professionals and licensed heavy equipment operators working together to tear down your shed can make the whole process go faster. Apart from ensuring that the project moves at an efficient rate, these pros will have the necessary safety skills and experience to prevent all kinds of hassles and mishaps.
