SHED REMOVAL IN SAN ANTONIO

We take it down.
We haul it away.

How it works ↗

Shed removal is all we do. Wood, metal or resin, falling apart or still standing, we take your San Antonio shed apart and leave the space clean.

  • Taking the shed apart: roof, walls, doors and floor
  • The stuff inside, if you want it gone too
  • Loading, haul-away and disposal, with metal and clean wood recycled where it’s accepted
  • The slab, gravel pad or footings, if you want them out
  • Sweeping and raking the spot clean

We check what San Antonio requires for your shed before any work starts, and any power to the shed must be disconnected by a licensed electrician before removal day. The local rules are below.

01

Send a photo.

Show us the shed and the way out, and add your San Antonio ZIP code. No payment, and it isn’t a booking.

02

Get our price.

We look at your photos and send our price, what it includes and the dates we have.

03

We haul it away.

We confirm a date, take the shed down, load every piece and leave the spot clean.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL

Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?

Here’s what San Antonio asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.

San Antonio rules at a glance

Demolition permit

No, if the shed is under 300 sq ft; IB 106 exempts it. Larger sheds need a demolition permit ($86.30 for a home). In a historic district, check with Historic Preservation first.

San Antonio Information Bulletin 106: Demolition (revised October 2026) ↗San Antonio FY 2027 Development Fee Schedule ↗San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation: Before Getting Started ↗

City pickup

No. Curbside bulky pickup refuses construction, demolition and roofing material. The bulky drop-off centers take 1 cubic yard of lumber per visit, free for City customers.

Haul it yourself

Do I need a permit?San Antonio demolition rules, utilities and property checks.

The requirements depend on the structure, the work and the property’s jurisdiction. These are the official starting points for checking your job. Confirm with the building office before teardown day. How shed demolition permits work ↗

01

The 300-square-foot demolition line

San Antonio's demolition bulletin (IB 106, revised October 2026) says demolition permits are not required for detached residential sheds and similar accessory structures under 300 square feet. A bigger shed needs its own demolition permit; each building removed is a separate application. The FY 2027 fee schedule lists a residential demolition permit at $86.30, and OHP charges a $50 non-commercial demolition review fee. A homeowner can apply for a single-story structure with proof of ownership. Call Development Services at 210-207-1111.

San Antonio Information Bulletin 106: Demolition (revised October 2026) ↗San Antonio FY 2027 Development Fee Schedule ↗San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation: Submit an Application ↗

02

What a permitted teardown involves

For a shed that needs a permit, CPS Energy must confirm electric and gas service is disconnected before the permit is issued, and a CPS service removal can take 30 to 45 business days. OHP reviews every demolition application, which can take up to a month. The application also needs a site plan, photos of all four sides, a tree affidavit and a 6-foot security fence around the work area.

San Antonio Information Bulletin 106: Demolition (revised October 2026) ↗

03

Wiring and digging

San Antonio says only state-licensed contractors can get electrical permits, so a shed circuit should be disconnected by a licensed electrician. Pulling posts or piers counts as digging: Texas law requires an 811 request at least two business days ahead, even in your own backyard.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.

Will San Antonio pick up shed debris?

Not at the curb. Curbside bulky collection refuses construction or demolition material, roofing and concrete, and a pile with the wrong material can bring a fine of up to $2,000 a day plus a collection fee. City solid waste customers can take up to 1 cubic yard of construction material and lumber per visit to one of the four Bulky Waste Collection Centers, free with a recent CPS Energy bill and photo ID. Boards longer than 10 feet, concrete and loads from commercial haulers are refused.

Drop-off and recycling options

If you’d rather haul it yourself, sort the load first: clean wood, metal, roofing, concrete and household contents often go to different places or cost different amounts. Call ahead before hiring a trailer. What can be recycled ↗

What else should I know in San Antonio?Local notes, and the photos that set the price.

No hauler franchise, but haulers need a city vehicle permit

San Antonio does not give one company the right to haul construction debris. Instead, anyone hauling commercial solid waste in the city needs a Commercial Solid Waste Hauler Vehicle Permit for each vehicle: $150 a year for a vehicle of 6,999 lbs. or less and $2,250 for 7,000 lbs. or more. The application lets haulers list construction and demolition as a material they handle. The page doesn't say whether a crew hauling a homeowner's shed debris counts as commercial hauling; call Solid Waste at 210-207-6420.

San Antonio Private Haulers: Permits & Information ↗San Antonio Commercial Solid Waste Hauler Vehicle Permit Application ↗

Historic districts: even a small shed may need OHP approval

In a historic district or on a landmark, the Office of Historic Preservation says all exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness, including work in rear yards that can't be seen from the street. That applies even where no building permit is needed. Look up your address on OHP's Explorer Map and ask your district's case manager before the shed comes down. A COA for an existing single-family home has no fee, but work started without one carries a $500 post-work fee.

San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation: Before Getting Started ↗San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation: Submit an Application ↗

Very old sheds may have to be taken apart by hand

When a demolition permit is needed, San Antonio's deconstruction rules cover rear accessory structures such as garages and carriage houses built on or before December 31, 1945, or on or before 1960 in a historic or conservation district. Those must be dismantled by a certified deconstruction contractor so materials can be salvaged, with forms filed with OHP before and after.

San Antonio Information Bulletin 106: Demolition (revised October 2026) ↗

Photos that explain the job.

  • The whole shed, with the roof, doors and rough dimensions
  • What it sits on: slab, gravel, pavers, skids or blocks
  • The route out: gates, steps, slopes and the narrowest gap
  • Anything stored inside, and any wiring, lights or a water line

Tell us whether the shed has power. A licensed electrician should disconnect and make the circuit safe before teardown. Say which items stay, and whether the slab or footings go too.

What will it cost?How shed removal is priced, and what other local companies publish.

Shed Gone

Priced from your photos

A small empty resin shed and a large timber shed on a concrete slab are different jobs, so we don’t publish one number. The price depends on the shed’s size and material, what’s inside, what it sits on, and the route from the shed to the truck.

Other companies’ advertised prices

LoadUp is the only company here that publishes a shed price: $94 to $1,559, set when you book. College HUNKS shows general junk loads from $99 to $699, and Junk Haulers says its rates start at $99 for small jobs; neither is a shed price. The other companies quote each job. None of these prices says it includes a San Antonio demolition permit.
