In this video I show you how to demo and remove a shed, pack the debris into your truck (or trailer), how much the debris weighed and how much it cost to dump. This video will be valuable not only to junk removers and others in the hauling industry, but for the DIY folks as well.
Keep in mind there are a few different ways to demolish a shed depending on its surroundings. The two most common approaches are
1. Start with the roof. Cut one half, pull it down into the shed, remove and repeat. Cut all walls in half, remove and repeat. Cut the floor in half, remove and repeat (the number of cuts will depend on the size of the shed).
2. Bust out the sides, pulling off all exterior panels, then push it over. Deal with the floor the same way as above.
For this particular shed we decided it was best to bust out the sides and push it over. The decision was made when I provided the quote. This shed was 8.5’ x 11.5’ and besides the floor, was in pretty decent shape. After a more detailed evaluation, I noticed the roof had 2 layers of shingles, making it extremely heavy. Since there were no noticeable structural flaws, and no obstacles surrounding the shed, pushing it over was an easy and safe bet. If the structure itself was in very poor condition, or there was a fence/other unmovable objects nearby, we would have started with the roof. In my opinion, and from my experience, it is always easier to bust out the sides and push it over if the surroundings and condition of the shed allow you to do so.
The way we performed this shed demolition required hand tools only (sledgehammers) until the roof was on the ground. If you need to start with the roof, you will be using sawzalls for the entire demo, so make sure you have enough blades, batteries and/or access to an outlet (for corded sawzalls or chargers)
We completed this job in 1 hour and 15 minutes with 2 men on site.
Here is a list of the tools we used in this video
- DeWalt Flex Volt 60V MAX with 20V MAX 6.0 AH Batteries
- Milwaukee M18 Fuel Super Sawzall with 8.0 High Output Batteries
- Milwaukee Wrecker Blades
- Huskey 10lb Sledgehammers
- Bolt Cutters
(At the end of the video, there is a clip showing the tools we used)
List of tools you should always have for junk removal or demolition
- Sawzall and accessories (blades, batteries and chargers)
- Sledgehammer
- Drill and accessories (assortment of bits, batteries and chargers)
- Crow Bar/Pry Bar
- Bolt Cutters
- Barrels
- Broom
- Shovel
- Dolly
- Extension Cords

Thank you. This is by far the best and safest way to demo the shed. I’ve had my 10x10 shed down and apart myself in a bit over 2 hours.

@TheNinjaPicker 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, I usually take the roof off first on the ones with lower ceilings but will have to try it this way next time. Shed like that we get about $750 and our dump fees are about half what yours are. Thanks again

@SteveConroy1 3 года назад

That is how we started doing them. Much easier to take the roofs off of smaller or lower ceiling sheds, I agree. Most of the shed we demo are this size or larger so every chance we get to safely do it the way it was done in the video, we always do. I'd say 50% of the time we still need to start with the roof though due to obstacles like fences or the house itself that you don't want to damage. Where do you operate? Gotta love those lower dump fees!

@junkzombiesllc3259 3 года назад

Good video on a shed removal. We have a trailer. This is one reason we like them much better then a dump truck. Much easier to load. One day we'll have one but more for dirt jobs then trash.

@SteveConroy1 3 года назад

Exactly! The trailer is 10x easier to load. However, in my neck of the woods, a trailer is a nightmare to navigate into driveways and tight roads in the city.

What’s up Steve! Cool video. I just did a shed demo a little smaller than this. I charged $650 and cleaned $500. My competition asked for $1,200. Best part is I was able to take it apart by hand! Ha! The customer was like wtf? Sometimes they come down easy.

@SteveConroy1 3 года назад

Awesome to hear! By hand you mean no power tools? If so, how long did that take you? $500 profit is sweet!

@trailertrashjunkremoval8089 3 года назад

@@SteveConroy1 no power tools or pry bar or hammer. I kicked the walls out then tore them off. Once it was structurally weak enough I then pushed it down. Then I used leverage and pivot points to take it apart. The whole job took about 2.5 hours. This turned out to be an easy job. I’ve worked harder trying to pull a couch out of an apartment. I even had to cut one in half once. Ha!

Just a thought, it may be a good idea to cap off wires(individually of course) with wire nuts to avoid any potential future liability. And take a picture so you have proof that it was done.

@SteveConroy1 3 года назад

You are 100% correct. The electricity to the shed was shut off and a new one was being installed shortly after we removed this but I agree with you completely.

@petecruz3712 3 года назад

Just curious why a CTL with a grapple wasn't used? Half the time and quarter the effort.

@SteveConroy1 3 года назад

Half the time and a quarter of the effort is correct. What you are not thinking of is 1) Going to pick up the machine (assuming the have a grapple attachment) 2) Laying down a plywood path from the shed to the dump trailer and possible around the shed itself 3) After the job is done, the dump trailer is full and needs to be brought to the transfer station/landfill (machine still at customers house). 4) Go from transfer station/landfill back to the customers house, load up the machine and drop it back off. That job took us less than 2 hours and we didn't damage the lawn whatsoever. We did 2 jobs before it and 1 after. Much quicker to do it this way.

How dramatic. You should be in possession of a voltmeter so that you don't have to risk "death" when dealing with the electrical aspect. See, having the resident kill their main breaker just inconveniences them, and you still don't have any more verification than you had already performed. Read the incoming line. It either has power or it doesn't. If it doesn't, do your thing. If it does, do what you need to until it doesn't.

JJ you gotta have a more positive attitude brother. It ended up being a full load. Figure out what the full load cost in your area is and thats your price! Tack on some labor as well. Everyone has their own system as to how they charge and what they charge for. Some would charge by the square foot for a job like this. If I charged someone $1k for this, that doesn't mean thats what it costs for everyone. That's just the number that makes sense for me to do the job.
