An old garage or shed that's rotting, sagging, or just in the way of your next project doesn't need to be a weekend of sledgehammers and dumpster runs. You want it down, hauled off, and the spot cleaned up — done in a day where we can.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles garage demolition, shed removal, and pole barn demolition across central Illinois — detached garages, carports, backyard sheds, pole barns, and the small outbuildings that pile up on a property over the years.
Searching garage demolition near me and getting quotes from outfits three counties away? We're based in Mattoon and work a 60-mile radius. Brohez Trucking LLC handles complete detached garage, carport, and slab teardown, debris hauling, and smooth grading — all inside that radius. You deal with Levi, the man on the machine, not a call center, and the travel is built into your estimate instead of tacked on afterward. Call or text a photo during the workday and you get a straight number back the same day.
The Komatsu PC150LC does the heavy work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer fit the tight spots — between buildings, down narrow drives, right against the house or fence — and clean up after. Dump trucks haul it all to a proper disposal site. Garage standing to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.
If you want the slab gone, we break it out and haul it. If you're keeping it for a new build, we leave it clean. Either way we're straight about what's in the structure before we start, including any signs of asbestos in old siding or shingles.
Garages, sheds, and outbuildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, shingles, or floor tile. It's common and it's manageable — it just has to be handled the right way, not bulldozed and ignored.
When a building's old enough to warrant it, we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification, and we don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

We're not a national booking site routing your address to whoever bids lowest. The shop is on US Highway 45 in Mattoon, and the machine that tears your garage down is the same one you'll see driving past on 45.
Home ground. Most Mattoon garages are in-town alley-access jobs — a detached one- or two-stall behind the house, tight lot lines, a neighbor's fence a few feet off the wall. That's what the JCB mini and the Takeuchi skid steer are for; the Komatsu PC150LC comes in when there's room to swing. Because the shop is in town, there's no travel line padding the number. A demolition permit is normally required inside Mattoon city limits — we'll tell you what the city wants and help you get it filed. See our Mattoon service area page.
About twelve miles east, same day, same crew. Charleston runs to older in-town lots and rental property near the university, which means detached garages built decades ago, narrow drives, and slabs poured before anybody worried about what was under them. Garages inside Charleston city limits generally need a demolition permit and utility disconnects arranged before we roll in — the power, gas, and water disconnects are ordered by the property owner, and we handle capping the private side. See our Charleston service area page.
Roughly half an hour south down 45 and I-57. Effingham jobs skew a little more toward acreage and rural property, so we see more oversized detached garages, shops, and carports on open ground — the kind of site where a truck backs right up and the whole thing is down and hauled in a day. Outside city limits a permit often isn't required, but that varies by jurisdiction and we'll confirm before scheduling. See our Effingham service area page.
Decatur, Champaign, Urbana, Sullivan, Tuscola, Arcola, Shelbyville, Pana, Neoga, Greenup, Toledo, Casey, Windsor, Marshall, Paris, Newton, and over the state line into Terre Haute. If you're inside a 60-mile radius of Mattoon, you're in the service area, and the drive is priced into the estimate up front instead of appearing on the invoice later.

Every garage is different. The basics don't change.
We come look at the garage or shed, check the access and whether the slab comes out, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Inside city limits a garage usually needs a permit — we help sort it, call locates, and make sure any power running to the building is killed first.
Tight access is the name of the game here. We bring the mini or skid steer where the big excavator won't fit, so we don't tear up the yard or the neighbor's.
We work the structure down in a controlled sequence — no dropping things on the house, the car, or the fence line. Surgical when it needs to be.
We break out the slab and footings if it's part of the job, separate metal when possible, and load debris onto dump trucks for proper disposal.
We backfill, grade the spot flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean dirt — ready for a new build, a garden, or just open yard.
If it's small, old, and in the way, we can probably help.
One-car, two-car, and oversized detached garages broken down and removed cleanly, slab out if you want it gone.
Metal and wood carports, lean-tos, and attached covers taken down and hauled off without tearing up the drive.
Garden sheds, storage buildings, and old play structures removed — even the ones tucked into a tight corner of the yard.
Old pole barns broken down post by post, posts cut or pulled below grade, tin and lumber separated and hauled.
Buildings wedged between the house and the line, down a narrow drive, or behind a fence — we bring the mini and skid steer to fit.
Old garage and shed slabs, aprons, and footings broken out, hauled, and backfilled so the ground is clean and ready.
Collapsed, leaning, or burned-out garages and sheds brought down safely and the debris hauled away.
Lumber, tin, shingles, concrete, and trash all hauled to a proper disposal site. You walk away with clean dirt.
A lot of these jobs aren't really a teardown — they're a rebuild that starts with a teardown. Knocking down the old garage to build a new one, or moving it to a better spot on the lot? Say so on the first walk-through.
It changes how we do the work. Instead of just breaking out the old slab and grading it flat, we can strip and stockpile the topsoil, compact the fill in lifts so the ground doesn't settle under a new slab, and leave the pad shot to grade and ready for the concrete crew or the post holes. The machines are already sitting there — doing it in one mobilization beats bringing a second outfit back out in the spring.
We build the pad, run the site prep, and set the drainage and the new approach so water leaves the building instead of standing against it. Laser grade on the D6N for the finish work.
Compacted, graded, drained building pads — sized and shot to grade for your builder's plan.
Clearing, cut and fill, driveway and approach work, and finish grade — the whole site ready for the next trade.

Real garage, shed, and pole barn demolition jobs from around central Illinois.
It depends on the size of the garage or shed, what it's built from, whether the slab comes out, debris disposal, and access. If you're comparing garage demolition companies in central Illinois, ask each one whether hauling and disposal are inside the number — that's usually where quotes differ. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.
Inside city limits, a detached garage usually needs a demolition permit. Small sheds and rural outbuildings often don't. We'll tell you what's required and help you handle it.
Yes — that's a lot of what garage demo is. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer fit between buildings, down narrow drives, and right up against the house or fence. We bring the right machine for the access.
Yes, if you want it gone. We break out the slab and footings, haul the concrete off, and backfill or grade the spot. Some folks keep the slab for a new build — your call, and we'll price it either way.
Yes. Cleanup is part of the job — lumber, tin, shingles, concrete, and trash hauled to a proper disposal site. We separate metal where it makes sense and leave you clean ground.
Yes. Pole barns come down post by post — we cut or pull the posts below grade, separate the tin and lumber, and haul it off. Old or storm-damaged pole barns are routine for us.
A small shed is often a few hours. A detached two-car garage with slab removal is usually a day. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate.

If you're inside a 60-mile radius of Mattoon, Illinois, yes. Brohez Trucking LLC handles complete detached garage, carport, and slab teardown, debris hauling, and smooth grading throughout that radius — Mattoon, Charleston, and Effingham included. You deal with Levi, the owner running the machine, and travel is built into the estimate rather than added afterward. Call or text a photo during the workday and you get a straight number back the same day.
Yes — and it's the cheaper way to do it. Tell us on the first walk-through that a new garage is going back on that ground. Instead of just breaking out the old slab and grading flat, we strip and stockpile the topsoil, compact the fill in lifts so the ground doesn't settle under a new slab, set the drainage and the new approach, and leave the pad shot to grade for your concrete crew. The machines are already on site, so one mobilization covers the teardown and the pad instead of paying a second outfit to come back out in the spring.
It depends on the building. Physically relocating a garage means a structural mover, a new foundation waiting at the destination, and a route wide enough to get it there — that's a specialty trade and not work we self-perform. What we do is the demolition-and-rebuild-pad version: the old garage comes down and off, and we build and grade a compacted pad wherever on the lot you want the new one. On an older garage that route is usually the simpler job. We'll walk it with you and tell you straight which way it reads.
