📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateNot every job needs a big excavator and a week on site. Sometimes it's an old shed leaning in the backyard, a rotted deck nobody trusts to stand on, or a fence line that's been down half a season. Quick small-structure work — and exactly the kind of thing folks figure isn't worth calling about. It is.
Right here — call (217) 809-0779. Levi looks at the shed and hands you one itemized number. Free, no obligation, inside 60 miles of Mattoon, IL.
If you're comparing shed removal contractors in central Illinois, here's what actually moves your number: whether the shed is wood or metal, whether there’s a slab or a set of piers under it, what else is going in the same trip — a deck, a fence line, a small slab — and how far we haul. We'll walk it and tell you straight.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles shed removal, old shed demolition, deck removal, and fence removal across central Illinois — wood and metal sheds, garden buildings, decks and porches, and old fence lines, posts and all. Backyard, farmstead, or acreage.
Searching shed removal companies near me and finding nobody who'll bother with a job this size? That's the usual story. We're based in Mattoon and work a 60-mile radius, and small structures are real work we actually show up for — you deal with Levi, the man on the machine, not a call center.
The Takeuchi skid steer and JCB mini do the small-structure work fast and clean. Dump trucks haul the lumber, tin, and concrete to a proper disposal site. And if there's an old slab under the shed, we break that out too — slab-and-shed in one trip, one contractor, leaving clean dirt.
We're straight about what we're tearing into before we start, including any signs of asbestos in old shed siding or roofing on the really old buildings.
Some sheds and outbuildings put up before about 1980 carry asbestos in old siding or roofing. It's less common on a small shed than a big barn, but it happens — and it has to be handled the right way, not crushed and ignored.
Age tells you whether the material is likely there; the building tells you what paperwork applies. A shed on a single-family residential property comes down under the same residential exclusion as the house — no pre-demolition survey and no IEPA 10-working-day notice. A shed or outbuilding on farm or commercial ground gets no exclusion: the survey and the notification are required, and we coordinate both. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Search shed removal near me and most of what comes back is a junk-hauling franchise or a lead broker selling your number to whoever pays for it that week. We're in Mattoon, we own the machines, and the man who looks at your shed is the man who runs the excavator.
A shed is small enough that plenty of outfits will say yes to it, which is exactly why the comparison matters. If you are weighing shed removal companies or a shed removal contractor against a junk-removal crew, the difference is what happens below the walls. A hauling crew takes what is loose and leaves the slab, the posts, the ruts and the bare rectangle. A demolition contractor takes the structure, the floor, the footings, and the mess, and grades the spot so grass will grow on it.
Five things worth asking anyone before you hand them a shed:
Decks, fence lines and the odd lean-to usually ride along on the same trip, which is most of why a shed job is worth doing all at once. See garage demolition if there is a bigger building on the same lot, or call (217) 809-0779 for a free on-site walk.
A metal shed comes apart differently than a wood one, and it prices differently too. The panels are light but bulky, the frame is usually bolted or screwed rather than nailed, and the whole thing is scrap steel rather than debris headed for a dumpster.
That last part matters. On a wood shed you're paying to haul the material away. On a metal one, the tin and the frame go to the scrap yard instead of the roll-off — so the disposal side of the job is smaller. What drives the price is the same short list as any small teardown: how big it is, whether it's anchored to a concrete pad, whether that pad comes out with it, how much is still stored inside, and how close a machine and a truck can get to it. We break each of those down in metal shed removal cost.
Rusted-through sheds, ones the wind has already half-folded, and old tin grain sheds are all normal work. If it's leaning or the roof has gone, don't climb on it or try to pull it with a truck — that's how people get hurt. We bring it down in a controlled sequence with the machine.
Bigger metal building than a garden shed? That's pole barn demolition, and farm tin sits under farm building demolition.

Small jobs, same straight approach.
Text a photo or have us swing by. We look at the shed, deck, or fence, check what's underneath, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Most small removals out in the country don't need a permit. If yours does, we help sort it, and we call utility locates before any digging near posts or footings.
The skid steer or mini excavator pulls the shed, deck, or fence apart quick and controlled — careful around the house, plantings, and the neighbor's line.
If there's a slab under the shed, deck footings, or fence-post concrete, we break it out and pull it so nothing's left in the ground.
Lumber, metal, fencing, and concrete get separated where it makes sense, loaded on dump trucks, and hauled to a proper disposal site.
We backfill any holes, grade the spot flat, and walk you through it. Clean dirt — ready to re-fence, replant, or build something new.
If it's small, in the way, and shouldn't be there anymore, we can probably help.
Rotted and leaning wood sheds and garden buildings torn down and hauled off, the spot left clean.
Old metal and tin storage sheds broken down, metal separated for recycling, debris hauled.

We come out, look at the shed, and give you one number that already includes the teardown, everything hauled off, the slab or blocks if they are coming out, and the ground raked and graded behind it. Wood sheds, metal sheds, plastic sheds, playhouses and the ones the trees have grown into all count — and if you have more than one, it is the same visit. We cover Coles, Cumberland, Douglas, Shelby, Moultrie, Effingham, Edgar, Clark, Champaign and Macon counties. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation to book the work.
Yes. Old wood sheds, metal sheds, garden sheds, and rotted-out storage buildings are exactly the kind of quick small-structure job we knock out fast with the skid steer and mini excavator. We tear it down, haul the debris, and leave the spot clean. Call (217) 809-0779.
Yes — metal and tin sheds are some of the quickest work we do. Sheet steel folds down small, the frame is usually bolted rather than nailed, and the tin goes to the scrap yard instead of a roll-off, so the disposal side of the job is smaller than it is on a wood shed. Rusted-through sheds and ones the wind has already half-folded are normal work; don't climb one or try to pull it with a truck. What it costs is broken down driver by driver in metal shed removal cost. The on-site estimate is free. Call (217) 809-0779.
Yes — that's a common combo. We pull the shed, then break out and haul off the old concrete slab or pad underneath, backfill, and grade the spot. One trip, one contractor, and you're left with clean dirt instead of a cracked pad and a pile of lumber.
Yes. We tear out old wood and composite decks — boards, framing, posts, and footings. Whether it's a small back-porch deck or a big wraparound, we pull it, dig out the footings, haul the debris, and leave the ground ready for whatever comes next.
Yes. We pull out old wood, chain-link, and wire fence lines, including the posts and concrete footings. Long fence rows on acreage or a short backyard run — we clear the line, haul it off, and leave the ground clean to re-fence or plant.
Absolutely. A lot of folks figure a one-shed or one-deck job is too small to call about — it's not. These quick jobs are easy work for the skid steer and we're glad to do them. Call or text a photo and we'll give you a straight number.
Yes. Cleanup is part of the job. Lumber, metal, fencing, concrete, and trash get separated where it makes sense, loaded up, and hauled to a proper disposal site. You walk away with a clean, graded spot, not a debris pile to deal with yourself.
Most small-structure removals out in rural central Illinois don't require a permit. Inside city limits, some do. We'll tell you what's needed and help you handle it. On older sheds with suspect siding or roofing, we're also straight about checking for asbestos first.
Some older sheds and outbuildings from before about 1980 carry asbestos in siding or roofing — but age is not what decides the paperwork. A shed on a single-family residential property comes down under the same residential exclusion as the house: no pre-demolition survey, no IEPA 10-working-day notice. A shed on farm or commercial ground gets no exclusion, and we coordinate the survey and the notification before it comes down.
