Shed & Fence Demolition: Safe, Quick, and Clean Hauling Services in Massachusetts

Reclaim Your Yard Today

Old fences and sheds can quickly turn from helpful structures into eyesores and safety hazards. Whether it’s a sagging fence or a weathered shed, these neglected pieces of your yard can block views, attract pests, and create unnecessary stress. Our fence and shed demolition services make it easy to remove these structures safely and efficiently, giving you a clean, open space ready for your next backyard project.

We’ve all been there. You look out the kitchen window with a cup of coffee, and instead of enjoying your backyard, your eyes land right on it.  Maybe it’s that old wooden shed in the corner—the one with the sagging roof and the door that hasn’t opened since 2018.  Or perhaps it’s the back fence that was once a proud boundary but is now leaning precariously, held together by little more than hope and a few rusted nails.

These old structures start as helpful storage or privacy, but over time, they turn into something else: a source of “to-do list” guilt. They become eyesores, safety hazards for the kids, and—let’s be honest—luxury condos for local squirrels and mice.

At Fresh Start Junk Removal, we know that tearing something down is about much more than just demolition; it’s about making room for something new. 

Whether you’re planning a beautiful new patio, a garden, or just want a clear view of the woods, our fence and shed demolition services are designed to give you your yard back without the weekend-ruining labor.

The “Sledgehammer Fantasy” vs. Reality

It’s tempting to grab a sledgehammer and spend a Saturday afternoon taking out your frustrations on an old shed. It looks fun on home improvement shows, right? 

But in reality, light demolition is a lot like an iceberg—most of the work is hidden below the surface.

Why the DIY Route Often Stalls:

  • The “Where Does it Go?” Problem: A standard 10×12 shed creates a mountain of debris. Most Massachusetts homeowners quickly realize their SUV or pickup truck would need 10 to 15 trips to the local transfer station. Between gas, dump fees, and your precious time, the “free” DIY project gets expensive fast.
  • Hidden Guests: Old structures are magnets for wasps, spiders, and rodents. Tearing down a wall only to find a massive hornet’s nest is a surprise no one wants.
  • Physical Toll: Prying apart pressure-treated wood, pulling up rusted fence posts set in concrete, and hauling heavy shingles is brutal on the back.

When you hire a professional for structure removal, you aren’t just paying for the teardown—you’re paying to keep your Saturday for yourself.

Our Process: Respecting Your Property

We don’t just show up and start swinging. We treat your yard with the same respect we’d show our own. At Fresh Start Junk Removal, our process for fence and shed demolition is systematic and clean.

1. The Walk-Through

Before a single board comes down, we check for the details. Are there old electrical wires still running to the shed? 

Is there a prize-winning rose bush leaning against the fence? We identify what stays and what goes, ensuring the “demo zone” is clearly marked and safe.

2. Strategic Disassembly

We don’t just knock things over. We take them apart. By dismantling a structure from the top down, we prevent heavy debris from crashing into your lawn or flower beds. 

If we’re removing a fence, we ensure the remaining posts are stable, and the boundary is left tidy.

3. Professional Hauling & The “Sweep-Behind.”

This is the part our customers love most. As we work, we load the debris directly into our equipment. Once the structure is gone, we don’t just leave a patch of dirt. 

We perform a thorough debris cleanup, including a magnetic sweep to pick up any stray nails or screws that might have fallen in the grass. When we drive away, your yard is ready for its next chapter immediately.

FAQs – fence and shed demolition

Do I need to empty my shed before you arrive for demolition?

Ideally, yes. For the safest and quickest structure removal, we ask that you clear out any 

How long does a typical fence and shed demolition take? 

Most projects are completed in a single day. A standard-sized garden shed or a typical backyard fence can usually be taken down and hauled away in 4 to 6 hours. We pride ourselves on being “in and out,” leaving your yard clean and quiet by dinner time.

Will your equipment damage my lawn? 

We take great care to protect your property. We use specialized, turf-friendly equipment and, when necessary, we lay down protective mats to distribute weight. 

Our goal is to leave the footprint of the old structure clear, while keeping the rest of your grass looking exactly as it did when we arrived.

Are you insured for this type of work? 

Absolutely. Fresh Start Junk Removal is fully insured for light demolition and hauling. We believe in doing things the right way, which means protecting our team and your home throughout the entire process.

What do you do with the debris once it’s hauled away? 

We don’t just “dump” it. We follow all Massachusetts environmental regulations, sorting through the debris to recycle metals and clean wood whenever possible. 

Anything that can’t be recycled is disposed of at a licensed C&D (Construction and Demolition) facility.
