Shed Removal & Teardown in Manitowoc, WI

A shed goes bad slowly. The roof starts holding water, the floor goes soft, the door stops latching, and one winter it is leaning far enough that you quit keeping anything valuable in it. After that it is a large wooden box of wasps and old paint cans that you mow around.

We tear it down and take the whole thing — shingles, siding, framing, floor, and whatever is still inside. Most sheds are gone in a single afternoon.

What a teardown includes

We take a shed apart rather than just knocking it over. It is safer next to a fence line or a neighbor, it keeps nails out of your lawn, and it lets the metal get pulled aside for scrap instead of landfilled.

The roof comes off first, then the walls, then the floor frame. Every piece goes on the truck, and the footprint gets raked and swept with a magnet for loose nails before we leave.

Sheds we take down

• Wood-framed backyard sheds and garden sheds
• Metal and steel kit sheds
• Plastic and resin sheds
• Storm-damaged or partly collapsed sheds
• Lean-tos, firewood shelters, and chicken coops
• Kids’ playhouses and old swing-set forts
• Small detached garages — quoted individually

The pad underneath

Wood skids and gravel bases come out with the shed. A poured concrete slab is a separate job — it has to be broken up, and it is heavy enough that it changes the truckload math — so we quote it on its own once we see it. Plenty of people keep the slab as a patio or a spot for the next shed.

Before we show up

Pull out anything you want to keep. Everything else can stay inside and we will take it with the building. Gasoline, propane, oil, and paint cannot ride in the truck — those go to a household hazardous-waste collection, and we will point you to the next one.

Some municipalities want a demolition permit even for an accessory building. It is worth a quick call to your city or village before the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to tear down a shed?

A typical backyard shed takes two to four hours from first shingle to raked footprint. Large sheds, or sheds packed with years of stuff, can take most of a day.

Do I have to empty it first?

No. Take out anything you want to keep and leave the rest — the contents go with the shed. The only exceptions are fuels, paint, and chemicals, which cannot go in the truck.

Will you damage my lawn or fence?

Taking the shed apart piece by piece rather than pulling it down is what protects the fence and the neighbor’s yard. The ground under a shed is usually bare dirt when it comes up — that is normal, and it will green back in a season.

Do I need a permit to remove a shed?

It depends on where you live. Some municipalities require a demolition permit even for a small accessory structure and some do not. A call to your city or village office settles it before the day.
