Is Your Old Shed Surviving Another PNW Season? (Probably Not)
Let’s talk about that old wooden shed sitting in the back corner of your yard. You know the exact one we are talking about. It’s been sitting on your Lakewood lot since the late 90s. The roof is starting to sag under a thick, green layer of Pacific Northwest moss, the door doesn’t quite shut on its hinges anymore, and it’s officially become a five-star luxury hotel for local raccoons, possums, and spiders. 🦝🕸️
In our famously damp Washington climate, wood rot is a relentless, unbeatable enemy. Once a backyard shed starts to give way to the elements, it’s no longer just an ugly eyesore—it becomes a legitimate safety hazard for your kids and pets.
The Challenge of DIY Demolition 🔨
Taking a dilapidated shed down yourself sounds like a fun weekend project until you actually swing the first hammer. Do you have the right pry bars, reciprocating saws, and safety gear? Do you have the time to pull out hundreds of rusted nails? Most importantly, do you have a heavy-duty truck to haul away the splintered, moldy remains?
Junk Gone Fast isn’t just about picking up bags of household trash. We are fully equipped light demolition contractors in Lakewood and Pierce County. We handle complete shed tear down and removal from start to finish. Our trained crew will safely dismantle the structure piece by piece, carefully rake up the residual debris, and leave your yard a blank canvas—ready for that new concrete patio, fire pit, or garden bed you’ve been dreaming of all winter.
Got Old Appliances Hanging Around, Too? 🧊
Often, taking down a shed reveals the junk that was hiding inside or behind it. If you’ve got a broken deep freezer, a rusted-out washing machine, or an ancient dryer sitting on the porch, we’ve got you covered. We provide professional appliance removal in Puyallup, Lakewood, and beyond. Appliances are incredibly heavy and contain freon or electronic components that require special recycling procedures. We handle all the logistics so you don’t have to risk injuring your back.
Don’t let your backyard look like an abandoned scrap yard this summer. Your outdoor space should be an oasis!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ❓
- Q: Do I need to empty the shed before you tear it down?
- A: If there are items inside you want to keep, please remove them! However, if the shed is full of junk you also want to be hauled away, just let us know. We can price the junk removal and the shed demolition together.
- Q: Do I need a permit for you to remove my shed?
- A: Typically, for small, non-permanent backyard storage sheds, no permit is required for demolition. However, we always operate within local Lakewood municipal guidelines to ensure safety and compliance.
- Q: Can you remove the concrete slab underneath the shed?
- A: As light demolition contractors, we can help with the removal of the wooden, metal, or plastic structure above ground. Heavy concrete foundation breaking may require specialized masonry equipment.
