What kind of things can you actually tear down for me?

We focus on the "light" stuff that doesn't require a massive wrecking ball or a crane. This usually means things like old backyard sheds, wooden decks, fences, and those big, bulky play sets that the kids have outgrown. We also handle things like hot tub removal and tearing out old kitchen cabinets or bathroom fixtures. If it is a standalone structure in your yard or something inside that needs to be uninstalled and broken down, we can likely handle it. We help people all over the River City clear out these old eyesores to make room for something new.

Will your team damage my lawn or my house during the demo?

We know you’ve worked hard on your Peoria home, and the last thing we want to do is leave a path of destruction behind. We are very careful about how we take things apart. Instead of just knocking a shed over, we dismantle it piece by piece. This keeps the debris contained and protects your siding and your grass. If the ground is soft from a recent Central Illinois rain, we take extra care with where we walk and place our tools. Our goal is to leave your property looking better than it did when we arrived, not worse.

Do I need to get a permit from the City of Peoria first?

For most of the light demolition we do—like taking down a small shed, a fence, or an old deck—you typically do not need a special permit. These are considered minor removals. However, if you are planning to build something much larger in its place, the city might want to see a plan for that new project. If you are ever unsure, it is a good idea to check the City of Peoria website or give them a quick call. We handle the actual labor and the hauling, but we always want to make sure we are following local rules.

Are you going to leave a pile of debris for me to clean up?

Not at all. Because we are a junk removal company first, we are experts at the cleanup part. We don't just tear the structure down and leave. As we work, we load the wood, metal, and shingles directly into our trucks. Once the structure is gone, we go over the area to pick up small scraps, loose nails, and any other bits of trash. We even sweep the area to make sure it is safe for you to walk on. When we drive away, the only thing left behind will be a clean, empty space.

How do you figure out the price for a demolition project?

We keep our pricing very honest and easy to understand. We look at two main things: how long it will take our crew to safely take the structure apart and how much space that debris will take up in our truck. Since every deck or shed is a different size, we prefer to give you a quote after seeing a few photos or visiting your property in person. This price covers all the labor, the tools, the hauling, and the disposal fees at the local Peoria landfill. You will know exactly what the job costs before we ever pick up a crowbar.

Demolition Services Peoria IL

Light Demolition Services in Peoria, IL

Sometimes, getting rid of junk is not as easy as just picking it up and throwing it in a truck. Sometimes, the junk is still attached to your house or stuck in the ground. We are talking about those old, rotting sheds in the backyard or the rickety deck that feels like it might collapse during the next big storm. When you have a structure that needs to go, you need more than just a hauling service. You need someone who knows how to safely take things apart without damaging your property. We provide light demolition services all across Peoria to help you reclaim your yard and your home. We take down the old to make room for the new. Whether you live in a historic home in the West Bluff or a newer spot in North Peoria, we can help you tear down the eyesores that are holding your property back.

Tearing Down Old Sheds and Backyard Structures

If you have lived in Central Illinois for any length of time, you know what the weather does to wood. The humid summers and the freezing winters are very hard on backyard sheds. Most of those old wooden sheds eventually start to lean to one side. The roof starts to leak, the floor rots out, and before you know it, the shed is just a home for raccoons and spiders. It becomes a safety hazard for your kids and an eyesore for the neighbors. Taking down a shed is a big job. You can’t just hit it with a sledgehammer and hope for the best. You have to take it apart piece by piece so it doesn't fall on someone.

We specialize in removing these small structures. We show up with the right tools to dismantle the walls, the roof, and the flooring. We don't just leave a pile of debris on your grass, either. As we tear it down, we load it directly into our trucks. By the time we are done, the shed is gone and the ground is clear. You are left with a flat piece of land where you can plant grass, put in a garden, or maybe build a brand-new shed that actually keeps the rain out. We handle the hard labor and the heavy lifting so you don't have to risk a back injury trying to pull apart old, heavy lumber.

Deck and Fence Removal in Central Illinois

An old deck can be a dangerous thing. When the wood gets soft from years of rain and snow, the boards can snap or the stairs can become loose. If your deck has reached the point where you are afraid to have a BBQ on it, it is time for it to go. Removing a deck is surprisingly complicated. You have to deal with heavy beams, thousands of rusty screws, and sometimes concrete footings in the ground. Our team knows how to break these decks down safely. We work quickly to remove the boards and the framing so your backyard is open again. We make sure to pull up the old posts so you don't have stumps of wood sticking out of your lawn.

We also help Peoria homeowners with old fencing. Maybe your wooden privacy fence is gray, leaning, and full of holes. Or perhaps you have an old chain-link fence that is overgrown with vines and looks terrible. Fences are a lot of work to remove because they go on for a long way. We pull the posts, roll up the wire, or stack the wooden pickets. A new fence can really change the look of your home, but you have to get the old one out of the way first. We provide the muscle to clear the perimeter of your property so you can start fresh.

Interior Demo for Peoria Home Remodels

If you are planning to fix up your kitchen or bathroom, the first step is always the demolition. This is the part that most people think will be fun, but it quickly becomes a dusty, exhausting nightmare. Tearing out old cabinets, pulling up three layers of linoleum flooring, and knocking down drywall is a lot of work. It also creates a massive amount of trash that the regular Peoria city trash pickup will not take. We can come into your home and handle the "light" interior demo for you. We are careful to only take out what you want gone.

We work in the older homes near Bradley University and the newer houses out by Grand Prairie. We know how to navigate tight hallways and stairs without making a mess of the rest of your house. We tear out the old vanities, the bathtubs, and the kitchen counters. We haul the debris out to our trucks immediately so your house stays as clean as possible during the remodel. This lets you or your contractor get right to work on the new installation without tripping over piles of old plaster and wood.

Safety and Cleanup are Our Main Goals

The biggest risk with any demolition project is getting hurt. Between the heavy lifting and the sharp debris, there are a lot of ways to end up in the emergency room. Old buildings often have wood with rusty nails sticking out. There might be broken glass or heavy pieces of metal that are hard to grip. We take safety very seriously. We wear the right gear and use the right techniques to keep ourselves and your property safe. You don't have to worry about a "weekend project" turning into a medical bill.

We also take pride in the cleanup. A lot of companies will tear something down but leave the small stuff behind. We make sure to pick up the scraps, the screws, and the splinters. We sweep the area where the structure used to be so you can walk across it safely. We want your yard to look like the shed or deck was never even there. That attention to detail is what makes a big difference for our Peoria neighbors. We treat your property with the same care we would use for our own homes.

Simple Pricing for Your Demo Project

We know that home projects are expensive, so we keep our pricing very simple. We don't have hidden fees or complicated contracts. We give you a clear price based on the size of the structure we are tearing down and how much debris we have to haul away. This price covers everything: the labor to take it apart, the truck to haul it, and the fees to dump it at the local Peoria landfill. You will know exactly what the job costs before we ever pull out a crowbar. Being honest about our prices is how we build trust with people throughout the River City.
