Shed Removal in Orland Park, IL
Backyard sheds torn down and hauled off in Orland Park, plus playsets and trampolines, with the base cleared before we go.
A shed reaches a point where it is no longer storage, it is a liability with a door that will not close. The roof shingles are curling, the floor has a soft spot near the threshold, and the whole thing is holding a lawnmower and thirty years of paint cans. Orland Park Junk empties it, takes it apart, and hauls all of it, including the floor and the base. You end up with a clear spot in the yard instead of a pile of splintered siding waiting for a dumpster that never comes.

What We Remove
What a teardown actually involves
Empty first. Almost nobody clears out the shed before we arrive and that is fine, but understand it is part of the work and part of the price. Old fertilizer, half cans of stain, a gas can, and a mower with fuel in it all have to be separated out rather than thrown in with the lumber, because oil based paint and solvents are household hazardous waste. Waste Management runs an At Your Door special collection service that Orland Park residents can schedule for exactly that material, and we will tell you what needs to go that route.
Then the structure. A metal or resin shed comes apart with a driver in an hour or two, panel by panel. A wood shed is a saw job: shingles and roof sheathing first, then walls, then the floor deck and the joists, then the skids or the block base underneath. Rotted wood is heavier than sound wood because it holds water, which is why a small collapsing shed sometimes takes longer than a bigger solid one.
The base is the part people forget. Gravel, patio block, or a wood skid frame stays behind unless we take it, so tell us in advance whether you want the pad gone or the gravel raked level.
Permits, gates, and the practical stuff
The Village of Orland Park issues demolition permits through its Development Services department. If your shed is on a permanent foundation or you are unsure how it was permitted originally, call the Village and ask whether a demolition permit is required before anything comes down. You want that answer from the Village, not from a hauler, and it takes one phone call.
Access is the other practical question. A lot of the yards here have a five or six foot gate and a fence line that runs tight to the neighbor. That is normally fine because a shed leaves in pieces, but if the gate is narrow or there is a deck between the shed and the driveway, send a photo of the path along with the shed itself. If a fence section has to come off to get material out, we can pull it and reset it, and that is worth mentioning at quote time rather than on the day.
If there is a neighbor's fence, a garden, or new sod on the route, point it out when we walk the yard. We would rather add ten minutes to the plan than fix something afterward.
Playsets and trampolines
These come down every year once the kids outgrow them, and they are almost always harder than they look. A wooden playset has posts set in concrete, bolts that have been weathering for a decade and will not break loose, and a roof section that has to come down before anything else can. We cut what will not unbolt and pull the concrete footings rather than leaving them an inch under the grass where a mower will find them.
Trampolines look like they should fold up and they mostly do not. The springs rust into the frame, the mat is UV brittle, and anchored or in ground models have straps and augers in the ground. We take the whole assembly, including the safety net poles and the padding, and rake the wood chip or mulch base out if you want that gone too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does shed removal cost in Orland Park?
A small metal or resin shed is $350 to $550. An 8x10 wood shed runs $550 to $850, and a 10x12 or larger is $850 to $1,300. That covers the teardown, the haul, and the dump fees.
Do I need to empty the shed first?
No, and most people do not. We clear it out as part of the job. Set aside anything you are keeping and mention if there is fuel, oil based paint, or chemicals inside so we can separate those properly.
Do I need a permit to tear down my shed?
Ask the Village. Orland Park issues demolition permits through Development Services, and whether your shed needs one depends on how it was built and how it was permitted. One phone call to the Village settles it before we come out.
Will the concrete pad or gravel base go too?
Only if you ask for it. Slab and paver removal is quoted on site because the weight changes the price. Gravel bases we can rake level or haul out, so tell us which you want.
Can you get to a shed in a fenced backyard?
Almost always, because the shed leaves in pieces rather than whole. Send a photo of the gate and the path. If a fence section has to come off, we can pull it and put it back.
