Contact: 323-547-5879 — info@thejunkiez.com Last updated: 2026-08-28 The Junkiez provides same-day shed & structure demolition across Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Light demolition of sheds, decks, fences, playsets and pergolas, with the debris hauled away in the same visit. Light demolition is the natural extension of hauling: rather than you knocking down the shed and us taking the pile, we do both. Sheds, decks, fences, playsets, pergolas and patio covers all come down and leave in one visit, and the site is raked clean before we go. ### What we take - Garden sheds — wood, metal and resin - Timber decks, stairs and landings - Fencing — wood, chain link and vinyl - Children's playsets, swing sets and treehouses - Pergolas, gazebos and patio covers - Above-ground pools - Carports and lean-to structures - Interior non-structural demolition ### Where a permit becomes necessary Most residential jurisdictions in Southern California let you demolish a small accessory structure — commonly under 120 square feet and not on a permanent foundation — without a permit. Anything larger, anything structural, anything attached to the house, and anything involving utilities generally needs one. We will tell you honestly which side of the line your project sits on, and we do not do work that needs a permit you have not pulled. ### Utilities and what is under the slab Sheds get wired and plumbed by previous owners more often than you would expect, and irrigation lines run everywhere. Before we start we look for power, water and gas at the structure. If we find live service we stop and it goes to a licensed trade to disconnect. Call 811 before any digging — it is free and legally required in California. ### Slabs and footings Removing the structure is straightforward; removing the concrete pad under it is a separate decision. Broken-out concrete is heavy enough to fill a truck by weight well before volume, so we price it separately. Many people leave the slab and use it as a patio base, which is cheaper and often better. ### Getting a price Free on-site quote. You only pay if you say go. We quote on site before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards. Stairs, long carries, disassembly and heavy items are all included. Text a photo to 323-547-5879 and we can usually give you a number within a few minutes. ## Frequently asked questions **Do I need a permit to demolish a shed?** Usually not for a small accessory structure under about 120 sq ft on no permanent foundation. Larger or attached structures generally do. We will tell you which yours is. **Will you take the concrete slab too?** Yes, priced separately — broken concrete is dense enough to be quoted by weight. **Can you remove a deck and haul the wood?** Yes, demolition and haul-away happen in the same visit. **Do you clean up afterwards?** Yes, the site is raked clean before we leave.
