That leaning backyard shed has been “coming down next weekend” for three years. When you’re finally ready, the first question is what it’ll cost. Here’s a plain breakdown of shed demolition pricing, what changes the number, and how Send It Hauling handles teardown and haul-away in one visit across Manteca and San Joaquin County.
Typical Shed Demolition Costs
Industry-wide, tearing down and hauling away a small to medium shed generally runs $300–$800, with very small metal or plastic sheds coming in under that and oversized or reinforced structures above it. The teardown itself is often the smaller half of the bill — debris hauling and disposal fees are what add up, which is why a combined demolition-plus-hauling crew usually beats hiring the two separately.
What Changes the Price
- Size and material — a thin metal kit shed comes apart fast; a framed wood shed with shingles takes real labor
- What’s inside — a shed full of junk means a cleanout before the teardown
- Foundation and anchors — concrete pads and bolted framing add time (slab removal is usually a separate job)
- Access — tight side yards and long carries to the truck add labor
- Roofing material — old shingles are heavy and carry higher disposal fees
What’s Included When We Do It
Send It Hauling takes down small to medium sheds that can be safely dismantled by a two-person crew — no heavy equipment, no drama. We handle the teardown, load every scrap of debris into our 16-cubic-yard truck, sort metal and wood for recycling, and rake the footprint clean. You’re left with a flat, empty spot ready for whatever comes next.
Before Demolition Day
- Empty the shed — or have us quote the cleanout and teardown together.
- Kill any power — if the shed has electricity, have the circuit disconnected first.
- Clear a path — move vehicles and open gates so the crew can carry debris straight to the truck.
