Garage & Shed Demolition in Central Illinois

Insured — Certificate of Insurance emailed before we roll in. No surprises, no runaround.

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.

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.

Older Garages & Asbestos — The Plain-English Version

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.

Our Garage Demolition Process

Every garage is different. The basics don't change.

STEP 01

Site Walk & Estimate

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.

STEP 02

Permits & Disconnects

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.

STEP 03

Pick The Right Machine

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.

STEP 04

Tear-Down

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.

STEP 05

Slab & Debris

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.

STEP 06

Backfill & Grade

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.

Garages, Sheds & Pole Barns

If it's small, old, and in the way, we can probably help.

Detached Garages

One-car, two-car, and oversized detached garages broken down and removed cleanly, slab out if you want it gone.

Carports

Metal and wood carports, lean-tos, and attached covers taken down and hauled off without tearing up the drive.

Backyard Sheds

Garden sheds, storage buildings, and old play structures removed — even the ones tucked into a tight corner of the yard.

Pole Barns

Old pole barns broken down post by post, posts cut or pulled below grade, tin and lumber separated and hauled.

Tight-Access Work

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.

Slab Removal

Old garage and shed slabs, aprons, and footings broken out, hauled, and backfilled so the ground is clean and ready.

Storm & Fire Damage

Collapsed, leaning, or burned-out garages and sheds brought down safely and the debris hauled away.

Full Debris Haul-Off

Lumber, tin, shingles, concrete, and trash all hauled to a proper disposal site. You walk away with clean dirt.

Garage & Shed Demolition FAQs

How much does garage demolition cost?

It depends on the size of the garage or shed, what it's built from, whether the slab comes out, debris disposal, and access. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.

Do I need a permit to demolish a garage or shed?

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.

Can you work in a tight spot or close to the house?

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.

Do you remove the concrete slab too?

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.

Do you haul off the debris?

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.

Can you take down a pole barn?

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.

How long does garage or shed demolition take?

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.
