Demolition Pricing Guide
Understanding what goes into demolition costs.
People want to know what things cost—we get it. The problem with demolition pricing is that no two projects are exactly alike. A 200-square-foot shed costs different to demo depending on what it's made of, where it sits, and what's around it.
That said, we can give you a general idea of what affects cost and typical price ranges for common projects.
The Honest Truth About Pricing

What Affects Demolition Cost?
Size & Type of Structure
Bigger structures cost more to demo. A house costs more than a garage, which costs more than a shed. Type of construction matters too—concrete block costs more than wood frame.
Site Access
Can we get our equipment to it easily? Is it in a tight backyard? Do we need to protect surrounding structures? Access issues add time and complexity.
Materials & Hazards
Asbestos, lead paint, underground tanks, contaminated soil—any of these require special handling and disposal, which costs more.
Disposal & Cleanup
Landfill fees vary depending on what we're hauling. Hazardous waste costs more than clean fill. Distance to the disposal site matters too.
Permit Requirements
City permits, utility disconnects, environmental assessments—these add to the overall cost but they're not optional.
Timeline & Urgency
Standard scheduling is most cost-effective. Rush jobs or specific timing requirements may cost more due to scheduling constraints.
Typical Price Ranges
Small Structures (Sheds, Small Decks)
Typical range: $500 - $2,000
Small, accessible structures with straightforward disposal. Usually completed in a day.
Medium Structures (Garages, Large Decks, Pools)
Typical range: $3,000 - $8,000
Larger outbuildings, attached garages, in-ground pools. May take 1-3 days depending on complexity.
Residential Houses

Full house demolition including foundation removal. Price varies widely based on size, construction type, and site conditions. Typically 3-7 days.
