Quick Answer
What types of demolition do you handle?
We handle deck demolition, shed tear-down, hot tub removal, fence removal, and interior tear-outs (drywall, flooring, cabinets). Debris haul-away is always included — one call, one crew, one price.
Light demolition covers any structure you want torn down but can't haul yourself — decks, sheds, hot tubs, fences, and interior tear-outs like drywall, flooring, and cabinets. Every demolition job includes debris haul-away in the quoted price, so you get a clean site, not a pile of boards. Our crews are permit-aware and walk you through local requirements in Chicagoland before scheduling so your job stays compliant and on schedule.
What we demolish — and what's included
Light demolition means structures small enough for a crew with hand tools and a truck — not wrecking balls and excavators. We tear down, load, haul, and sweep in a single visit. Every price we quote includes the full scope: demo labor, debris loading, hauling to a licensed facility, and site cleanup. No add-ons, no second trips, no pile of lumber left in your yard.
Here's what falls under light demo across Chicagoland:
| Structure | Typical Price | Timeframe | What's Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deck demolition | $500–$1,200 | 1 day | Tear-down, post removal (above grade), all lumber hauled, site swept |
| Shed removal | $400–$700 | 2–4 hours | Structure torn down, foundation cleared if concrete pad, all materials hauled |
| Hot tub removal | $350–$600 | 2–3 hours | Saw-cut into sections, all components hauled including pumps and hoses |
| Fence removal | $200–$500 | 2–4 hours | Posts pulled, all materials hauled, post holes backfilled |
| Interior tear-out | $300–$800+ | Half day to 1 day | Cabinets, drywall, flooring, tile removed and hauled |
| Playscape / swing set | $250–$450 | 2–3 hours | Disassembled or cut apart, all materials hauled |
Deck demolition in Chicagoland
Deck tear-downs are our most common demolition job. Most Chicagoland decks were built in the 1990s-2000s and are reaching end of life — rotting joists, wobbly railings, splintering boards. We tear the entire structure down to the posts, pull posts above grade (full post extraction available on request), load all lumber and fasteners, and sweep the area clean.
Multi-level decks, attached decks, and decks with built-in benches or planters are all within scope. We cut electrical runs for built-in lighting (electrician must disconnect first) and handle composite, pressure-treated, and cedar lumber. If you're replacing with a new deck, we coordinate with your contractor on timing so the old one comes down and the site is prepped on their schedule.
Most Bartlett and DuPage County deck demos are completed in a single day. Permit requirements vary by municipality — we check before scheduling.
Shed removal and tear-down
Old sheds that are leaning, rotting, or just in the way of a new project are a straightforward demo job for our crew. We handle wood sheds, metal sheds, Tuff Sheds, and prefab structures. If the shed sits on a concrete pad, we can break up and haul the concrete for an additional charge.
The process: we empty any remaining contents (that's junk removal territory — included if you need it), tear the structure apart, load everything, and leave a flat, clean footprint. Our dedicated shed removal service page has more detail on pricing and what to expect.
Hot tub and spa removal
Hot tubs are heavy, awkward, and full of components that need proper disposal — pumps, heaters, PVC plumbing, foam insulation, and the acrylic shell. Our crew saw-cuts the tub into manageable sections on-site, loads everything including hoses and covers, and hauls it all away.
One requirement: electrical must be disconnected by a licensed electrician before we start. If your tub has a gas heater, the gas line must be capped by a plumber. We can recommend local electricians and plumbers in Kane County and DuPage County if you need a referral. See our full hot tub removal page for pricing details.
Interior demolition — kitchens, bathrooms, basements
Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom? We handle the selective interior demo that your general contractor doesn't want to deal with — ripping out old cabinets, tearing up tile and flooring, removing drywall down to studs, pulling old vanities and countertops. Everything gets loaded and hauled so your contractor walks into a clean, prepped space.
We work with homeowners doing DIY renovations and with GCs on larger projects across Chicagoland. For GCs: we offer priority scheduling, net-30 invoicing, and can coordinate with your project timeline. If your remodel also generates construction debris, we handle that too — or we can drop a roll-off dumpster for your crew to fill at their own pace.
Demolition vs. dumpster rental — which do you need?
If the structure needs to come down AND be hauled away, that's demolition — we handle both. If you're doing the tear-down yourself and just need a container for debris, that's a dumpster rental. Many customers start with demolition and add a dumpster for the ongoing renovation debris.
