Shed removal in Johnstown

Liberty Junk Removal does shed removal in Johnstown and all over Northern Colorado. There are two parts to a shed job. First there's the building, from the roof down to the floorboards. Then there's everything that's been living inside it, which after a few years can be a lot. Both leave together, and wood, metal and plastic storage sheds all count.

Homeowners call to get the back corner of the yard back. Property managers call to clear a rental's shed before the next tenant moves in. If the fence or deck beside the shed is on its way out too, that part is deck and fence demolition, and both can go in the same photo. From their base in Johnstown, Liberty Junk Removal takes down sheds in Greeley, Windsor, Loveland and Longmont too. Shed work is one of the demolition contractor services they offer.

What goes on the truck

• Wood and metal sheds
• Plastic storage sheds
• Wall panels and roof sheets
• Shelving and workbenches
• Broken lawn mowers
• Rusted tools and wheelbarrows
• Old bikes and patio furniture
• Spare boards and fencing wire

These are the usual pieces on this kind of job, not the whole list.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: demolition and structures.

Does shed removal include the junk stored inside the shed?

Yes. Inside, it's usually a mix of things nobody has touched in a while. Think patio cushions that went flat two summers ago, a stack of cracked flower pots, a lawn mower that won't start and leftover boards from some old project. The workbench along the back wall goes on the same load. A shed that's been shut for years tends to hold more than anyone remembers putting in.

In a house and garage cleanout, the walls are still standing when the work is done. Here the walls go too. The shed itself falls under teardown debris from old outbuildings, but the inside often looks like a small garage.

Will the paint cans and chemicals in my shed get hauled away?

Paint can go, with empty cans preferred and an extra fee on full ones, and a shed is where it tends to collect. That means the half-used cans on the top shelf. The jugs of weed killer by the door are chemicals, so ask first. Gas and diesel for the mower get turned away, no matter how little is left in the can. Anything medical or biohazard gets turned away as well.

A shed has a timing problem that a garage doesn't. When a garage gets cleared, the shelf holding the gas can can stay on the wall the whole time. Here that shelf is coming down with everything else, so any fuel needs a new home before the job starts, like a corner of the garage or a spot along the side of the house.

How does a backyard shed get taken apart and carried out?

Liberty Junk Removal empties the shed first, then takes the frame apart and hauls each panel and board out of the yard. The loading is all theirs. A lot of people expect to be asked to help lift, or figure the whole mess needs to be out by the street before anyone shows up, and neither is the case.

A shed back in the far corner behind a side gate is a normal setup. Mention a locked gate in your text, or an alley if that's the easiest way into the yard.

Where does an old shed go after it comes down?

It gets sorted, and donation comes first. A bike that still rides or a ladder with solid rungs comes out of the pile ahead of everything else, bound for Habitat for Humanity or a thrift store. A solid shelving unit or a decent set of patio chairs can go the same way.

The building itself splits by material. A metal shed is mostly scrap, and scrap metal gets recycled, along with the hinges, the brackets, the rusted hand tools and that leftover roll of fencing wire. Floorboards gone soft, old shingles and cracked plastic panels can't be saved, so they ride out to the landfill with the flat cushions and broken pots.

If the shed turns up an old TV or a box of tangled cords, those electronics go out as e-waste.

How is shed removal priced when the shed is packed full?

A packed shed is still priced as a single job, the building plus every box stacked inside it, and $125 is the minimum. From there, the truck space taken up by the frame and the contents sets the price. Loading, hauling and disposal come with it, so dump fees don't get tacked on as a separate charge.

With a shed, a shot of the outside shows the size of the building and none of what's behind the doors. Text a photo to (970) 634-6969 with the doors propped open, and add one from inside if you can squeeze in.

How the price works
