These guys are good. Not only did they do a perfect job but also their knowledge on building materials and how to disassemble my built in grill was quite impressive. Unbelievably friendly. Unbelievably professional. Unbelievably worth it. If you need…

Old buildings out back, deep lots, one trip
Farmersville is a genuinely old town. The houses match the downtown district, with deep lots and outbuildings that have been standing a long time. Plenty of those sheds and coops have stood through more owners than anyone can name.
Sooner or later, the shed that's been out back for forty years needs to come down. Calling us means it's knocked down, loaded and gone before we drive off.
We see the same thing at estate and downsizing jobs here. The house gets cleared, then the family asks what to do about the leaning building by the fence.
What are we usually taking down in Farmersville?
Most calls are for wood or tin structures that have reached the end of their run. Rot at the sill, a roof letting daylight through, doors held shut with wire.
- Old wood and metal storage sheds, plus the junk stored in them
- Sagging carports and open-air covers, roof panels and posts
- Small barns and outbuildings, within the limits on our outbuilding demolition page
- Wire, board and picket fence lines being cleared
- Lean-tos and chicken coops that have seen better days
How we size up an older structure from photos
Older buildings were often patched and added onto over the years. So we look for what's holding what, whether a lean-to is tied into the main frame, and what the floor sits on.
Send a wide shot from each side, a few of the inside, and one of the ground where the trailer would park. Soft ground after rain changes how close we can back in.
If something looks structural or needs a machine, we'll tell you plainly. Light work done right beats a big job done badly.
Who files the paperwork, and what does the job cost?
Where a city requires a permit, it's usually pulled by the general contractor or the homeowner. If one is needed and nobody else is pulling it, we can usually pull it ourselves for an added fee that varies by city.
Every teardown is priced on its own, because a sixty-year-old barn and a ten-by-twelve shed are nothing alike. Size, material, what's inside and how far the trailer has to reach all shape the number.
You get an honest estimate from your photos and a firm price before anything comes down. Payment comes at the end, once you've looked over the cleared ground.
Fence lines along deep lots
Long fence runs are the other common Farmersville teardown. Through our fence removal work, we pull wire, panels, rails and the posts we can reach, then roll and load as we go.
If brush has grown into the line, mention it. Limbs and vines tangled in the wire can usually ride out on the same trailer.
Many owners here are replacing the old line with something sturdier. We clear the old run first, so the fence builder starts on open ground.

Farmersville's building permit application.pdf) lists demolition as a permit type, and every permit ends in a final inspection. Plan for that last step, since the spot should be cleared and swept when the inspector comes.
The city's bulk pickup won't take sheetrock, shingles or other building materials, so a torn-down shed has nowhere to go at the curb. That's the gap our light demolition service covers. Our Collin and Grayson permit guide has more on how the paperwork usually goes.
Light Demolition in Farmersville: questions
Can you tear down a shed in Farmersville that's full of old stuff?
Yes. Old tools, furniture, scrap and boxes can go out with the walls on one load. Fuel, motor oil and wet paint have to stay behind, so set those aside.
Will you take the old tin and metal for recycling?
Where we can, yes. Roof tin, steel posts and clean metal get pulled for recycling instead of dumped. Rotten wood and mixed debris go to the landfill the proper way.
Do you work on properties outside Farmersville city limits?
Yes. Farms and rural lots around town are part of our regular area. Permit questions out there go through the county, not the city, so check with Collin County before teardown day.
