Shed Removal: A step by step guide

Demolishing a shed can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be accomplished safely and efficiently. Here is a brief overview of the process Up Up and Away follows to demolish a shed:

Preparation:

Before beginning the demolition process, it is important to take some time to prepare the area. We clear away any debris or obstructions around the shed, and make sure there is plenty of space for the shed to fall or be taken apart. We make sure any electrical connection to the shed is disconnected before we begin work and if it is not we are able to bring in a licensed electrician to make sure is properly disconnected.

Removal of contents:

Before demolishing the shed, we remove any contents from inside. This can include tools, equipment, or any other items that may be stored in the shed. If we are removing the shed with heavy machinery, we will sometimes leave the contents in the shed because the machine can pick it all up at once. In that case, we still enter the building and make sure to remove any paint, chemicals, or other things that could spill and leech into the soil. We make sure those items are properly disposed of.

Roof and siding removal:

The first step in the demolition process is to remove the roof and siding. This can be done using a pry bar, hammer, and saws. Begin by removing any trim or molding around the edges of the roof and siding, and then work our way inward. We remove any screws or nails that are holding the roofing material in place, and then use a pry bar to remove the material. Sometimes we can take the siding and roofing materials out at the same time as the framing which is the next step.

Frame removal:

Once the roof and siding have been removed, it is time to take apart the frame. This can be done by cutting through the nails or screws that hold the frame together using a reciprocating saw. We are always sure to take apart the frame in a systematic way to prevent the shed from collapsing prematurely. There are some occasions where a shed is too unstable to be safely demolished by hand. In those cases, we will bring in heavy equipment to make sure that our team stays safe while we demolish the shed.

Disposal:

Once the shed has been taken apart, we make sure to dispose of the materials properly. This may involve hauling the materials to a landfill, recycling center, or scrap yard. We work hard to make sure we have good relationships with the right disposal partners to make sure that all of the debris gets to the proper disposal site.
