We Tear It Down, Too

There's a gap between 'too big for a weekend project' and 'worth hiring a full demolition contractor,' and that's exactly where a rotten deck or a leaning fence usually sits. We handle that gap. Tell us what's coming down — deck, fence, shed, carport — and we bring the crew and the tools, tear it out, and haul every board and nail off your property the same day.

Inside the house it's usually a wall that's not doing any structural work, an outdated built-in, or a bathroom you're gutting before the real renovation starts. We knock out non-structural interior demo so your contractor or your own weekend project can start on a clean, empty room instead of a half-finished tear-out. We're licensed and insured, and we won't touch anything load-bearing — that call goes to a structural pro.

We walk the property with you first, confirm exactly what's coming down, and give you one price before anyone picks up a sledgehammer. Then we tear it out and load the debris in the same trip — no separate demo crew and haul-off crew, no debris sitting in the yard for a week. If demo is one piece of a bigger renovation, a rented dumpster kept on-site can catch everything that comes out over the next few weeks, not just the initial tear-out.

What Does Light Demolition Cost?

Demo pricing depends on the size of what's coming down and how much debris it turns into once it's torn out — a small fence section is a quick job, a full deck or shed is more labor and more truck space. The estimate is free and happens on-site, and you approve one firm price before we start swinging anything. If demo is part of a longer renovation, ask about pairing it with a dumpster rental for the debris that follows.

Common Questions
Do I need a permit for you to tear down my deck or shed? +
Depends on the structure and your county — some small demo jobs don't need one, others do. We can tell you what we typically see for Gwinnett, Hall, and Barrow County, but you'll want to confirm with your local building department for anything attached to the house.
Can you take down interior walls? +
Non-structural ones, yes — a wall that's not holding up the house. We're licensed and insured for that work. Anything load-bearing needs a structural engineer or contractor to sign off first; we're happy to point you that direction if that's the case.
Do you haul off the debris, or just tear it down? +
Both, same visit. That's the whole point of calling us instead of a separate demo crew — we knock it down and load every scrap in the truck before we leave.
How long does a small demo job take? +
A deck, fence, or shed is usually done in a day, sometimes a few hours depending on size. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote the job.
Is it cheaper to demo it myself and just have you haul it? +
Sometimes, if you've got the time and the tools. But factor in the dump runs and the risk of nails and debris — a lot of people find our all-in price beats the hassle once they account for their own time.
What's the difference between demolition and junk removal for something like a shed? +
Junk removal is for stuff that's already loose or already down. Demolition means it's still standing and attached — a shed on a foundation, a deck bolted to the house — and needs to be torn apart before it can be hauled. We do both, often in the same visit.
