A shed that’s outlived its usefulness takes just a day to remove once you call the right crew. If you’ve had “get rid of shed” on your to-do list for months, you can cross it off in less than 48 hours by calling TopDawg Junk Removal. Most jobs in Athens wrap up in a single visit, start to finish. Here’s what to expect if you’re ready to get that shed gone.
What Gets Handled
Wood, metal, and plastic sheds all come apart differently, and we handle all three. The crew dismantles the panels, framing, and roof, then clears anything you left stored inside, from old paint cans to a mower that stopped running years ago. You can empty the shed yourself ahead of time to save a little time, but it’s not required. Just mention what’s inside when you book so we can build your free quote.
How the Job Actually Runs
Booking takes seconds, either online or by calling (706) 613-4135. You’ll get a call about 15 minutes before the crew shows up, so you won’t be stuck waiting around. From there, they walk the shed, give you a price based on size and what’s inside, and get to work once you give the go-ahead.
Most sheds come down in 1 to 3 hours, depending on size and how they were built. During teardown, we set aside materials that can be recycled or donated instead of loading everything straight into the truck, and we clear and sweep the spot where the shed stood before the crew leaves.
Why So Many Old Sheds Finally Come Down
Most sheds we remove have the same problem, like a roof that’s started sagging, wood that’s gone soft from years of rain, or a door that no longer latches, letting pests move in. We’ve written more on why that matters in the top 5 reasons to remove an old shed, which goes into the safety and maintenance side in more detail. TLDR: a shed that’s falling apart tends to cost more to ignore than to remove.
While You’re Clearing the Backyard
Shed removal rarely happens in isolation. If you’re clearing out a backyard, you’ll usually find a swing set, trampoline, or basketball goal sitting unused right next to the shed, and getting rid of it all in one trip saves you a second call. We offer playset removal for exactly this, and yard debris removal covers branches, old fencing, and anything else that’s piled up around the yard. Worn-out backyard equipment is also a known injury risk, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission covers it in its guidance on play equipment, so it’s worth clearing alongside the shed rather than leaving it for later.
