Expert Shed Demolition for Somers Properties

Somers sheds built in the 1980s-2000s often suffer from Wisconsin winters and seasonal moisture damage, making demolition the safest option for homeowners in the Somersby and Whispering Pines neighborhoods. Many Somers properties near Highway 165 have older wooden structures that fail permits during roof replacements-we demolish these safely and remove hazardous materials like asbestos siding or lead paint common in mid-century Somers builds. Lake County requires demolition permits for any structure over 64 square feet; our team handles all paperwork, inspections, and disposal fees so you only pay one flat rate.

Our Somers shed demolition process takes 1-2 days from start to finish, with debris removal completed the same day. We cut the structure into manageable sections, sort recyclable materials (lumber, metal roofing, concrete foundation), and haul non-recyclables to licensed Lake County disposal facilities-diverting an average of 40% of shed materials from landfills. Somers homes averaging 0.5-1.5 acres benefit most from our full-service approach: we remove the foundation, level the ground, and can plant grass seed or gravel to restore your yard within 48 hours. Typical Somers projects cost $1,200-$3,500 depending on shed size, materials, and foundation depth.
