What's included in a shed demo

Every shed quote covers the same fundamentals so you're not comparing apples to oranges across contractors:

Tear-down labor and equipment — mini-excavator or hand demo, whichever fits the access.
Debris haul-off — wood, metal, shingles, and insulation, all hauled to licensed transfer stations.
Site grade — the footprint is leveled smooth and ready for sod or a new pad.
Permit coordination — if your city requires a permit for the size of shed, we pull it.
Written quote — no verbal estimates that drift up on demo day.

Permits, slabs, and the city office that matters

Most Rockwall-area cities require a demolition permit for any accessory structure over 120 square feet, or any shed on a permanent foundation. The city office that issues the permit depends on where the property sits:

City of Rockwall — Building Inspections, 385 S. Goliad St.
City of Heath — Building Department, 200 Laurence Dr.
City of Fate — Development Services, 1900 CR 551.
City of Royse City — Permit office, 305 N. Arch St.
City of Forney — Development Services, 101 Main St.

You don't need to call any of them. We do, and the permit number goes on your invoice. Read the full Rockwall permits guide →

Should you keep the slab or have us take it?

Keep the slab if you plan to build a new shed of the same size, a hot tub pad, a generator pad, or a small bar/grill setup within the next 12 months. A clean slab is worth $400 to $800 of poured-concrete value.

Remove the slab if the slab is cracked, the new structure will be larger or in a different spot, or you're returning the yard to lawn. Slab removal adds $300 to $600 depending on thickness and access.

Do I need a permit to demolish a shed in Rockwall?

Do you remove the concrete slab too?

Yes, slab removal is an optional add-on. For a typical 10x10 to 12x16 shed slab, removal adds $300 to $600 depending on thickness and access. We break, haul, and grade the area smooth so it's ready for sod or a new pad.

Can you take the shed contents too?

Yes. We haul shed contents on the same trip when items are non-hazardous, for a small add-on based on volume. Paint, chemicals, and propane tanks need separate disposal — we'll set them aside for you.

How long does a shed demo take?

Most sheds come down in 2 to 4 hours. With slab removal and haul-off included, expect a half-day crew presence. We schedule sheds in the morning so you have your yard back by lunch.
