Answer six questions about your shed and get a starting price built on Connecticut shed removal pricing — size, material, whether it is full, what it is sitting on, and how hard it is to reach. No email required, no form to fill out first.
Footprint drives how much material comes out and how long the teardown takes. Measure the base if you are not sure.
Material decides how it comes apart and how heavy the debris is — the single biggest swing in the price after size.
Mowers, tools, old paint, patio furniture, bags of hardened concrete mix — we can clear it in the same visit, or you can empty it first and keep the cost down.
The structure is the base job. A concrete slab underneath is heavy debris and separate labor.
Every piece of a shed leaves the yard the way the crew came in. A truck that can get close is the easy case.
Optional, and it does not change the starting price above — bundling into one visit usually costs less than hiring each piece out separately. Pick any that apply.

This is a starting price, not a quote. What you actually pay depends on the condition of the shed, what is inside it and how the yard looks on the day — so contact us for true pricing on your shed. The walkthrough and the quote are both free.

The calculator is not a black box. It uses the same factors a crew checks during an on-site walkthrough. Size sets the footprint, material sets how the shed comes apart and how heavy the debris is, and the rest are add-ons.
| Shed size | Plastic / resin | Metal / aluminum | Wood framed | Concrete block |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small — under 100 sq ft 8×8, 8×10 | from $175 | from $200 | from $400 | from $500 |
| Medium — 100 to 160 sq ft 10×12, 12×12 | from $325 | from $350 | from $550 | from $650 |
| Large — 160 sq ft and up 12×16, 12×24, lofted | from $400 | from $425 | from $625 | from $725 |
Add-ons on top of the starting price:
These are starting figures. A shed in poor condition, a packed shed, a thick reinforced slab or a long hand-carry can all push the final number higher — which is why the only accurate figure is the one you get after a walkthrough. Contact us for true pricing.
Size and material are the two levers that matter most, and they compound. Junk removal and demolition work is commonly priced in the range of $4 to $12 per square foot, which is why a 12×24 barn-style shed is a different job from an 8×8 garden shed rather than just a bigger version of one. Small sheds often cost more per square foot than large ones, because travel and crew time do not shrink to match.
Material decides everything about how the shed comes apart:
Roughly half the sheds we remove are still full. Mowers that stopped running, string trimmers, bikes, bags of concrete mix that went hard years ago, stacked patio furniture, and the shelf of old paint and stain every shed seems to accumulate.
Clearing it in the same visit is straightforward and starts around $100, rising with how much is in there. Emptying the shed yourself first is the simplest way to lower the number, and it is entirely optional. The one category worth handling separately either way is hazardous material — paint, solvents, gas cans, pesticides, propane cylinders and car batteries follow separate disposal paths, and Connecticut towns run household hazardous waste collection days for exactly that.
Sheds sit on everything from bare skids to a poured, reinforced pad, and the base is a separate decision from the structure.
A wood floor on skids leaves with the shed at no extra cost. A gravel pad or paver base can simply stay — and often should, if a new shed, a patio or a fire pit is going in the same footprint. Taking a gravel or paver base out is quoted on site, because how much comes out depends on how deep the base was built.
A concrete slab starts around $300 and climbs with size and thickness. Broken concrete is extremely heavy, most transfer stations will not accept it mixed into a general debris load, and it goes to an aggregate recycler to be crushed for reuse. A thin unreinforced pad is at the low end; a thick slab with wire mesh or rebar in it is a significantly bigger job.
Every piece of a demolished shed leaves the property the same way the crew arrived. When a truck or trailer can back up near the shed, material goes straight from teardown into the load. When it cannot, every board, panel and shingle is carried by hand across the yard — and that is what the difficult-access add-on covers, starting around $75 and rising with the distance and the terrain.
The usual culprits: a fenced backyard with no gate or a gate too narrow to work through, a shed wedged between the house and the property line, a steep or terraced yard, soft ground after a wet week, or a long carry out to the street. None of it stops the job. It just adds time, and the estimate reflects that honestly rather than surprising you on the invoice.
Worth settling before you compare quotes, because the two jobs are not related. Moving a shed means lifting a standing structure and relocating it intact — to another corner of the yard or to another address — using shed mules, cranes or specialized trailers. It is a different trade with different equipment and different pricing.
Removal means the shed comes apart and the material leaves for recycling and disposal. That is the job this calculator prices, and for a shed at the end of its life it is almost always the cheaper and simpler answer. People search for it a dozen different ways — shed movers near me, have my shed moved, haul away shed, get rid of old shed, tear down shed — and most of the time what they want is removal.
Starting prices run from around $175 for a small plastic or resin shed up to around $725 for a large concrete block or masonry shed, before add-ons. Size and material set the starting point; contents, a concrete slab and difficult access are priced on top. Because condition and access vary so much from yard to yard, contact us for true pricing on your shed.
No. It gives a starting price based on Connecticut shed removal pricing, not a binding quote. The on-site walkthrough is where the number becomes flat and guaranteed, because that is when we can see the actual condition, contents and access. The walkthrough is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
Because an honest total needs eyes on the shed. A 10×12 wood shed in good condition on an open lawn and the same shed half-collapsed behind a locked gate are not the same job, and quoting them identically would mislead you. The starting price tells you the realistic floor; the walkthrough tells you the real number.
Yes. The price covers teardown, loading, hauling, disposal and cleanup of the footprint. Metal, clean wood, shingles and concrete are separated for recycling where facilities accept them rather than sent to a landfill by default.
Three things help: empty the shed yourself, leave the gravel or paver base in place if you do not need it gone, and open up access before the crew arrives — unlock or remove a gate section, move vehicles out of the driveway, and clear a path. Bundling the shed with other backyard removals into one visit also costs less than booking each separately.
Yes. A collapsed shed is priced on debris volume and cleanup rather than on a standard teardown, since the structure has already come apart and there is usually a debris field around it. Send a photo with your quote request and it speeds the estimate up considerably.
Run the numbers above for a starting point, then let us give you the real one. We remove wood, metal, resin, barn-style and masonry sheds across Connecticut — contents cleared, slab included when you want it gone, footprint swept before we leave.
