Old Shed Removal in San Fernando Valley: What You Need to Know

Shed Removal

There is nothing more unsightly than an old shed taking up space in your backyard. Due to their generally substandard construction, old sheds tend to break down fairly quickly and often end up relegated to an abandoned corner of your yard or suburban lot. Getting rid of an old shed, can be tricky. Due to their size and weight, your local garbage pickup is not going to be haul away your shed unless it is first broken apart into smaller pieces. Even then, you will most likely have to schedule a bulky item pickup and do all of the demolition work on your own.

Reasons for Removing Broken Down Sheds from your Property?

According to one financial website, the landscaping around one´s home can increase a home’s resale value by 15 to 20 percent, on average. Of course, if your yard is dominated by knee-high weeds, if your front porch is adorned with broken down appliances, and if the centerpiece of your backyard is an old, useless shed, then your landscaping is most likely reducing your property value. Old sheds that are no longer able to be used are an eyesore on the landscaping around your home. Even if you try to “hide” the shed in a corner of your property, it will most certainly be noticed by potential home buyers. 

For real estate agents or foreclosure companies, getting rid of an old shed is often one of the first items on the list when it comes to prepping a property for showing to potential purchasers. For homeowners who are not actively trying to sell their home, getting rid of an old shed can also free up space in the backyard, especially if you have limited outdoor space. In a small suburban backyard, removing an old, unused shed might be the first step in building an outdoor patio, and outdoor kitchen area, or simply freeing up space for a children´s playground. 

Difficulties in Removing an Old Shed from your Property

Unfortunately, getting rid of an old shed is easier said than done. For homeowners in San Fernando Valley who are considering a DIY option for old shed removal it is important to understand that you will most likely need a free weekend, a strong back, and some specialized tools in order to de-construct your old shed safely and efficiently. 

When tearing down your old shed, you will most likely need some heavy power tools. Even the simplest shed designs will most likely have several braces and brackets that hold the structure together. As you take apart the roof, walls, windows, doors, and flooring, you will probably need some heavy duty tools to take those pieces apart.  

Furthermore, as you tear apart the shed, you might find that your shed is severely invested with mold and mildew. For people who suffer from asthma or other types of respiratory allergies, this could be a concern. Furthermore, sheds that have been abandoned for several years may have turned into a home for snakes, rodents, wasp nests, and other animals that could pose a danger. Old metal sheds could also pose a risk for cuts and wounds. 

Even if you do successfully deconstruct your old shed, you will then be stuck with an enormous pile of construction and demolition (C&D) debris that you have to take off your property. In the San Fernando Valley, you will most likely discover that the municipal waste management service will not be able to haul away your trash without first scheduling a bulky item pickup. Even then, you will need to find a place on your property to store that C&D debris until your pickup day rolls around, as well as having to haul all the heavy debris out to the curb on the morning of the scheduled pickup.

Three Alternatives for Shed Removal in San Fernando Valley

 

Shed Removal

 

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. 

 

A Commitment to Fair and Transparent Pricing for your Shed Removal Needs 

 

Additionally, providing our customers with “fair and transparent” pricing is one of the hallmarks of our company and we even offer your four different ways to get a free estimate:

 

  1. On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price agreed upon, we will often be able to offer shed removal the same day you contact us. 
  2. Call to Talk with a Trained Customer Service Representative: If you´d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at 1-888-888-JUNK. Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate and help you plan the logistics of removing your shed. 
  3. Text us a Photo: Also, you can simply take a photo of your junk and text us at 737-888-5865. We will promptly text you back a transparent price estimate. Once you accept the estimate, all you have to do is wait for the Junk King truck to arrive.
  4. Online pricing estimator: Lastly, Junk King also offers an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the type and size of the car junk you need removed. Our pricing estimator allows you to receive a transparent cost estimate based on either the actual items you need hauled away, or the anticipated volume in the Junk King truck you plan on taking up. The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time saving for those on a tight schedule. 

 

No matter what option you choose, as soon as a price is agreed upon, you choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly tear down your shed and haul it away. 

 

Give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK, text a photo to 1-737-888-5865, or book an appointment online to save $20 on orders totaling more than $99. Junk King continues to offer free, on-site written estimates, which is still the best way for us to give you our lowest pricing possible. 

 

Reasons to Hire Junk King Pros for Shed Teardowns Services

Planning a Shed Teardown?

 

Shed teardowns can be both laborious and time-consuming. As a result, interested individuals shouldn’t hesitate to call in outside experts for assistance with various parts of the process. Junk King experts can’t help out with the teardown itself. However, our services can prove to be very useful when it comes to removing the remnants from the site.

 

 

What Is a Shed Teardown Anyways?

 

For those who are unsure, shed teardowns are pretty much exactly what they sound like. Sometimes, a shed has seen too much wear and tear, meaning that it must be replaced rather than repaired. Other times, a shed is taking up space that can be put to better use by the owner, meaning that it is time for it to be removed. Regardless of the exact reason, a shed teardown involves dismantling the structure piece by piece so that everything can be removed from the site.

The process for a shed teardown is simple and straightforward. Unfortunately, saying something is much easier than doing something, so interested individuals should prepare to put in some serious effort. Moreover, removing the remnants can be a serious challenge in its own right, which is why they should consider Junk King’s junk removal services.

 

What Are Some Ways to Make Shed Teardowns Easy with Junk King Experts?

 
Consider these examples of how Junk King experts can help out with the clean-up for the site where the shed once stood:

 

Save Time and Effort

 

Hauling away the remnants of a shed isn’t going to be easy. Theoretically, interested individuals can load up a vehicle with the remnants of their dismantled shed before driving to a destination that will take them. In practice, well, that description omits a number of potential complications. For example, loading up a vehicle can be quite difficult when those remnants are coming in sizable chunks, meaning that interested individuals have a couple of choices. One, they can grin and bear it, which can mean a chance of injury if they aren’t careful enough. Two, they can break those chunks into smaller chunks, meaning more expended time and effort. Similarly, finding a destination that will take the remnants of the shed can be much more complicated than it seems because not every place will take every material. If interested individuals haven’t done their research, they could wind up going from place to place looking for someone that will take their more problematic kinds of waste.

 

Those who call in Junk King experts don’t need to deal with any of this. Instead, they can count on the latter to load up the remnants of their shed in an effective and efficient manner thanks to a combination of expertise, experience, and equipment. After which, Junk King experts will deliver the various kinds of waste to the right destinations because we are in contact with all of the local options.

Easy-to-Understand Fee Structure

 
On a related note, interested individuals who choose to handle their own waste could wind up spending a fair amount of money. After all, they are going to have to cover the cost of gas, particularly if they need to visit different places for different kinds of waste. Furthermore, interested individuals might need to pay for a dumpster depending on the size of their shed, which could involve further costs as well as further complications. Meanwhile, Junk King experts charge a flat fee based on the volume of the waste, thus making it very easy for interested individuals to understand exactly what they will be paying for exactly what they will be getting.
 

Eco-Friendly Disposal

 
Getting rid of waste in the right manner is extremely important from an environmental perspective. There is a great deal of waste that can be either recycled or reclaimed, meaning that tossing it into a landfill is a less than optimal outcome. However, there are certain forms of waste that should be kept away from landfills even more than others. Sometimes, this is because they are non-biodegradable, meaning that they could stick around for centuries and centuries to come. Other times, this is because they have an easier time seeping into their surroundings, meaning that they could wind up polluting the environment if given the chance. Junk King is quite eco-conscious, which is why we make sure that we know exactly where every kind of waste should go to minimize our collective impact on our planet.

 

Contact Us

 
Choosing the right service provider is important for ensuring the best chance of getting the best outcome. As a result, we encourage interested individuals to contact us at their earliest convenience for more information about Junk King shed teardowns services. Our representatives are ready to answer every relevant question so that people can become informed enough to make the best choices for themselves.
