Question 1

What can you tear down?

Accepted Answer

Sheds (wood, metal, vinyl), hot tubs, gazebos, pergolas, swing sets, playsets, fencing, decks, above-ground pools, chicken coops, and interior non-load-bearing walls (drywall, paneling, built-ins). If it's non-structural and we can demo it without permits, we'll quote it.

Question 2

How much does shed and hot tub demolition cost?

Accepted Answer

Hot tubs typically run $400–$800 depending on size and access. Sheds run $500–$1,500 (8x8 to 12x16). Above-ground pools $600–$1,200. Decks $4–$8 per square foot. All quotes include demo, haul-away, and dump fees — no surprise add-ons.

Question 3

Do I need a permit for shed or deck demolition in Manatee or Sarasota?

Accepted Answer

Most accessory structures under 200 sq ft (sheds) and non-structural deck removal don't require a permit in Manatee or Sarasota counties. Hot tubs, above-ground pools, and pergolas typically don't either. We'll let you know during the quote if a permit is recommended.

Question 4

Will demo damage my yard, driveway, or landscaping?

Accepted Answer

We protect surrounding turf with plywood paths, lay tarps under demo zones, and disassemble (rather than smash) anything next to landscaping. Most jobs leave zero ruts or damage. We re-rake the dirt footprint when the structure is gone.

Question 5

Do you cap utilities (gas, water, electrical) before demo?

Accepted Answer

We disconnect at the obvious point (extension cord, garden hose, propane line) but we are not licensed plumbers or electricians. If the structure is hard-wired or hard-plumbed, you'll need a licensed trade to cap it before our demo date — we'll flag this in the quote.

Question 6

How much does junk removal cost in Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton?
