📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateAn old pole barn that's done its time becomes a liability — sagging trusses, rusting tin, rotted posts, a place kids and animals get into, and a hazard one good wind from coming down on its own. When it's time, you want it down, hauled, and the ground left clean.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles pole barn demolition across central Illinois — wood post-frame pole barns, metal machine sheds, steel buildings, post-frame outbuildings, lean-tos, and the storm-damaged ones nobody wants to walk into anymore. Farm, residential, or acreage.
The Komatsu PC150LC handles the heavy work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into tight farmsteads and clean up after. Dump trucks haul the lumber, tin, and concrete straight to a proper disposal site. Barn standing to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.
If there's usable steel roofing, wall tin, or sound trusses you want saved, tell us up front — good metal can have real value, and we'll plan the teardown to pull it carefully. We're also straight about what's in the structure before we start, including any signs of asbestos in old siding or transite panels.
Insured — Certificate of Insurance emailed before we roll in. You'll have it in writing before any equipment shows up on your ground.
Older structures can carry asbestos (siding, old board). On anything pre-1980 we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification — we don't cut corners on it.
Talk to Levi — the man running the machine, not a call center. Text a photo of your barn and he'll get you a straight number.Every building is different. The basics don't change.
We come look at the building, talk through what's coming down, check whether it's wood post-frame or steel and what shape it's in, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Most farm pole barns don't need a permit. We call utility locates, kill any power or water still running, and on pre-1980 buildings coordinate the inspection and IEPA 10-day notification before anything comes down.
If there's good metal roofing, wall tin, or sound trusses you want to keep, we pull them carefully before the main demo starts so they come out usable.
The Komatsu works the building down in a controlled sequence — even a sagging or storm-damaged one. No dropping things toward the house, the bins, or the neighbor's fence line.
We pull the posts or cut them below grade, break out the concrete floor if it's part of the job, separate steel and tin for recycling, and load lumber and debris onto dump trucks.
We backfill the post holes, grade the footprint flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean dirt — ready to farm, build, or seed down.
If it's old, in the way, and shouldn't be standing, we can probably help.
Classic post-frame pole barns broken down post by post, posts pulled or cut below grade, tin and lumber separated and hauled.
Steel and metal machine sheds and implement buildings taken down clean, the steel and tin separated for recycling.
Post-frame shops, garages, livestock buildings, and outbuildings cleared so you can reclaim or rebuild the spot.
Bolt-up and rigid-frame steel buildings disassembled or torn down, anchor bolts cut, and the steel hauled to recycling.
Lean-tos, sheds, and add-on bays pulled off the main building or cleared on their own — fast and clean.
The dangerous ones — sagging, half-down, or wind-damaged pole barns brought down in a controlled way and made safe.
Old concrete floors, footings, and pier pads broken out, hauled, and backfilled so the ground is usable again.
Lumber, tin, trash, and concrete all hauled to a proper disposal site. You walk away with clean dirt, not a burn pile.
