Shed Removal in Frederick, MD
The shed with the rotted floor, the one leaning toward the fence, or the one in the way of a new garden. We empty it, take it apart, load every piece on our truck and haul it away in the same job. You get a written price before we start, and the minimum job is $100. The owner, James (Jay) King, is on every job.
What shed removal involves
A shed comes down in roughly the reverse order it went up:
- Whatever is stored inside comes out first, and anything you don't want back goes on the truck
- Roofing and the roof frame come off
- Doors, windows, siding and wall framing come down
- The floor and its frame come up, down to the slab or bare ground
- Shelving, workbenches and the ramp go with it
Every piece leaves on our truck, and disposal is part of the quoted price (shingles carry a higher tipping charge, built into the quote). We rake up the nails and screws before we leave. This is part of our light demolition work: hand and power tools, no excavator, nothing structural on the house.
Before we start
If electric runs to the shed, for a light or an outlet, it has to be disconnected first, by you or the utility. We point out anything we see when we quote. Small teardowns rarely need a permit; if yours does, the property owner pulls it. Liquid paint, solvents, fuel and chemicals stay behind, and sheds collect a lot of those. Mention a mower or a gas can in your photos and we will explain what needs to happen before pickup. The county's drop-off options for those are in our Frederick County landfill guide.
What affects the quote
There is no set price per shed, because two sheds the same size can be very different jobs. What we look at:
- Size and build. A small metal kit shed comes apart faster than a framed wood shed with shingles.
- What's inside. A shed full of old tools, lumber and junk adds to the load, and emptying it adds time.
- The floor. Tell us whether there is a wood floor, a concrete slab or bare ground, and what you want left when we are done.
- Access. How close we can park the truck to the shed affects how long the carrying takes.
- Other work the same day. A shed and a garage in one visit costs less than two separate trips.
Send a few photos from different sides, plus one of the inside, and we send back one written price for the whole job, usually the same day and good for 30 days. How pricing works covers the rest.

Questions
Can you empty the shed and haul the contents too?
Yes. Old tools, lumber, bikes and general junk can go on the truck in the same job. Liquid paint, solvents, fuel and chemicals stay behind, because we don't haul hazardous material.
How much does shed removal cost?
It depends on the size, how it is built, what is inside and how far the carry is, so we quote each shed from photos. The quote is free, in writing and good for 30 days, and the minimum job is $100. You pay when the job is done: cash, check, card or any payment app.
Does the electric need to be shut off first?
Yes. If a circuit feeds a light or an outlet in the shed, it has to be disconnected before we start, by you or the utility. We will point it out when we quote if we see it.
