Old shed gone past its prime?

A backyard shed is built to weather decades. When it's time to come down, dismantling it is a real project — siding, framing, roofing, sometimes a concrete slab. We do the whole job in one trip, with the right tools and a crew that's done it before.

  • Vinyl & resin sheds

How it works

How shed removal works in Metro Detroit

  1. Send photos when you book

    Photos of the shed, its size, what's inside, and access path. We use them to send the right size crew.

  2. Confirm contents handling

    Let us know if the shed contents go with us or if you'd like to keep anything. We can also clear the contents separately.

  3. Disassembly on-site

    Crew arrives with crowbars, sawzalls, and protective gear. Wooden sheds come down panel by panel; metal sheds bend and break down with prybars; vinyl sheds unbolt section by section.

  4. Hauling

    Sheathing, framing, roofing, and floor are loaded onto our truck in a single trip whenever the volume fits.

  5. Optional slab handling

    Small concrete slabs can be broken up and hauled for an additional fee. Larger slabs require a separate quote.

  6. Sweep + payment

    Area is raked or swept. You pay the on-site quote by card, ACH, or cash.

A backyard shed seems like a quick teardown — until you start. Two layers of shingles, lap siding nailed through plywood, a floor that’s been wet for fifteen years, and a foundation full of forgotten lawn tools.

We come in with crowbars, sawzalls, and a full-size truck. We dismantle, load, and haul in one trip. By the end of the afternoon, you have a clear yard and a clean slab ready for whatever’s next.

  • Excellent service! Highly recommend this company for junk removal. I had junk lying around my yard for months and the crew who came over cleaned out the junk in no time. They were professional and did a wonderful job at clearing out my space. Kudos to the team!

  • Fast, friendly, and fairly priced. The crew showed up when they said they would and hauled away an entire garage of junk in under an hour. Couldn't be happier.

  • We had a basement full of old furniture and boxes from a relative's estate. The Penguin team was respectful, efficient, and honest about pricing up front. Would absolutely use again.

  • Got a same-day appointment to take a hot tub out of my backyard. Crew was strong, careful with my fence, and left the area cleaner than they found it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to tear down a shed?
Most Southeast Michigan municipalities don't require a permit for accessory structures under 200 sq ft, but local rules vary. Check with your city — we're happy to help you confirm.
Can you remove the concrete slab too?
Small slabs, yes — for larger slab pads, we'll quote a separate breakup-and-haul service or refer you to a partner. We'll discuss on the on-site quote.
How long does a shed teardown take?
Standard 10x10 sheds come down in 2-3 hours. Larger sheds or sheds with heavy contents take longer.
Do I need to empty it first?
Not necessarily. We can clear the contents as part of the job — it just adds to the truck space we use.
