On-Site Price Confirmation
We arrive and walk the structure before touching anything. Final price confirmed on-site. If the scope differs from the phone description, we tell you the updated number before we start. You decide whether to proceed — no pressure, no surprises.
3
Teardown and Demolition
We dismantle the shed systematically — roof, walls, framing, flooring, foundation sill plates. Hand tools and power tools as needed. Minimal disruption to surrounding lawn, landscaping, and fencing. Collapsed or dangerously unstable structures are assessed and approached with additional precautions.
4
Sort, Load, and Haul
All debris is sorted: usable lumber and materials set aside for donation or recycling. Metal goes to scrap. What remains goes into our truck and to an authorized transfer facility. Nothing is piled at your curb.

Site Cleanup
We rake, remove visible debris and fasteners, and leave the footprint as clean as possible. Concrete pad or gravel base removal available upon request and quoted separately. We confirm completion with you by phone if you were not on-site.

Pay After — No Deposit Ever
You pay only after the job is complete and you confirm it matches the agreed price. Cash, Zelle, or tap-to-pay. We never collect payment in advance.

Do You Need a Permit for Shed Demolition in Charlottesville or Albemarle County?
For most standard residential shed demolitions in Charlottesville city and Albemarle County, no demolition permit is required. Albemarle County Building Inspections generally does not require a permit to remove an accessory outbuilding such as a backyard storage shed. Charlottesville city follows similar guidance for structures below a certain square footage threshold.
For larger outbuildings — particularly structures that were permitted when built, have electrical connections, or exceed 200 square feet — we recommend confirming with the local building office before teardown. One note specific to Albemarle County: if your shed sits within a floodplain, historic district, or conservation easement, there may be additional review. We have completed jobs in all of these situations. Call 434-230-4551 and ask — we will walk you through what is typically required in your area in a few minutes.
What Happens to Your Shed After We Remove It
Usable Lumber Donated
Sound framing lumber, decking, and plywood is offered to Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Avon Street, local builders, and Charlottesville-area community networks before anything goes to the transfer station.
Metal Recycled
Metal roofing, corrugated siding, steel framing, and hardware go to scrap metal recycling. Nothing with recyclable value goes to the landfill.
Shed Contents Donated
If we cleared the interior as part of the job, usable items are donated. Tools, furniture, equipment — anything with value goes to a family that can use it, not straight to disposal.
Responsible Final Disposal
What cannot be donated or recycled goes to an authorized transfer facility. 65%+ of what we haul on every job is donated or recycled — that is our tracked average, not a marketing estimate.
