Shed Removal Cost in Orange County: What to Expect

An old backyard shed can go from handy to hazardous. The roof leaks, the floor rots and the door stops closing. At some point, removing it makes more sense than repairing it. Here’s what shapes shed removal cost in Orange County.

What Goes Into Shed Removal Cost

Shed removal usually includes two jobs. First, the crew clears out everything stored inside. Then they take the structure apart and haul the pieces away. Because of that, price depends on both the shed and its contents.

At Doctor Junk Removal, pricing starts as low as $125 for small jobs. However, most shed removals cost more because of the teardown work. We give you a firm quote before we begin.

Factors That Affect the Price

• Size: a small resin storage box is quick, while a large wood shed with a loft takes much longer.
• Material: plastic and metal sheds come apart differently than framed wood sheds with shingles.
• Foundation: a wood floor on blocks is simple, but a concrete slab is a separate job.
• Contents: tools, paint cans, lumber and old equipment all add to the load.
• Access: narrow side yards and slopes make carrying debris harder.

Before You Book

Check whether electricity runs to the shed. If it does, have an electrician disconnect it first. Also, pull out anything you want to keep. Finally, set aside paint, fuel and chemicals for a county household hazardous waste center, since they can’t go in a regular load.

What About the Slab?

Many sheds sit on concrete. Removing the slab is heavier work, so tell us about it when you request a quote. For more on that, visit our concrete removal page.

Getting a Clear Shed Removal Quote

The quickest way to get a price is to send photos. Show the outside of the shed, the inside and the path to the street. Also, tell us the approximate size and whether it sits on blocks, wood or concrete. With that information, we can plan the right crew and give you an upfront price, often the same day.
