Three Alternatives for Shed Removal in San Fernando Valley

For homeowners in the San Fernando Valley who take pride in how their yard looks, having an old and dilapidated shed in your backyard can certainly be an eyesore. Backyard sheds can certainly be useful in offering a helpful place to store certain items that you don’t want taking up space in your garage. However, because of their exposure to the elements, sheds generally only last between 5 and 10 years, depending on maintenance, upkeep, and the quality of the build. Once a shed begins to deteriorate, it may quickly weaken and be impossible to fix or renovate. 

If you have an old shed that is ruining the look of the landscape around your home and that has become a favorite home for mice and other critters, how exactly might you go about tearing it down? Below, we offer three alternatives for shed removal in San Fernando Valley. We also explain why Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers the easiest, most affordable, and most environmentally friendly shed removal service in the region. 

Shed Removal Alternative #1:  Tear Down the Shed by Yourself

At first appearance, it might seem like tearing down your old shed is fairly easy and straightforward, and can be a DIY project for the weekend. If you do decide to tear down the shed, first you will have to empty the shed, and remove all of the doors and window. Next, you should proceed to tear off the roof, starting with the trusses. Once the roof is off, you can then dismantle the shed walls, before finally demolishing the shed floor and any foundation that the shed was sitting on. 

Before you start this process, it is important to take into consideration some of the following hazards that you might encounter, including:

• The presence of mold or mildew: Old sheds generally have significant mold and mildew damage.  If you have allergies, you might want to avoid the DIY approach. 
• Snakes, mice, and other wild animals: If your shed has abandoned for a quite some time, you will need to be careful with potential inhabitants, including mice, snakes, and other rodents.
• Operating power tools: Most sheds are held together by various braces, brackets, and other connectors. To tear apart the roof, walls, and flooring, you may need heavy duty power tools to cut through these connections. 

Once you do finish tearing down your shed, you will also need to develop a plan for getting rid of the leftover debris. Depending on the size of your shed, the public waste management service in San Fernando Valley may not be able to haul away the pieces of your old shed. Even if they do, you will have to schedule a bulky item pickup, which may be scheduled for a week or two in the future. Thus, you will also have to plan a space to store the debris until that day comes, and then be available to haul that debris to the curb on pickup day. 

Shed Removal Alternative #2: Hire a Landscaping Service

If tearing down your shed on your own doesn’t sound like a fun way to spend your weekend, you could also consider hiring a local landscaping service. Many landscapers can help you with the basic demolition of a backyard shed. They might also be able to help you replace that shed with some other yard feature where the shed used to sit. 

Unfortunately, most landscaping services will not be able to haul away the debris left over once the shed is removed. Thus, you will still be left with the challenge of finding a way to get the pieces of your old shed out of your yard. 

Shed Removal Alternative #3 Hire Junk King of San Fernando Valley

If you are looking for the fastest, easiest, and most efficient way to tear down your old shed and get the debris hauled away, you should consider hiring a private junk removal company. Junk King of San Fernando Valley is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in the southern California region. We provide our junk removal services to the San Fernando Valley area, including: Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills. 

When you hire us for your shed removal needs, our company is able to help you with both the demolition of the shed, and the hauling away of the debris left over after it is torn down. Our junk removal teams have experience in shed removal and other types of minor demolitions, and we also will do all the heavy lifting and hauling. Simply let us know where the shed is, and we will do the rest. 

If your old shed was filled with mountains of old playground toys, broken down lawn equipment, and other types of junk, we can also haul away those items as well. As long as those junk items are not classified as toxic waste, our junk removal teams can clean out your shed, tear it down, and leave your yard looking like new. 

When you hire us for your shed removal, we take extra precaution to not damage your yard or landscape. If any unforeseen damage were to occur, our company is fully bonded, licensed, and insured, and we will respond for those damages. 

Lastly, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is also proud to be the greenest junk removal company in the region. We are one of the few junk removal companies around the country that has an environmental ethic as a foundational element of our business model, and we are committed to recycling, donating, repurposing, or “upcycling” at least 60 percent of the junk that we pick up. 

In the specific case of shed removal, our teams may decide to “de-construct” the shed instead of simply demolish it. We work with several charities in the region, and we might be able to donate the door, windows, roof, and other elements of the shed that are still serviceable. This not only helps to keep your old shed out of the landfill, but also helps local people find free or affordable building materials.
