Small-Structure Demolition in Central Florida

Big Rob's Hauling does small-structure demolition across Central Florida from a Davenport base: Polk, Osceola, Lake, Orange and eastern Hillsborough counties: sheds, decks, fences, pergolas, concrete driveways and landscaping tear-outs. The crew takes it apart, loads the pieces into a 14 or 16-yard dump trailer, and hauls it the same visit. A Kubota skid steer handles the heavy work. One Google customer had a shed taken apart and a concrete driveway removed in the same job, cleaned up great.

What it covers

What demolition & removal includes

Demolition here means the small stuff around a house or a lot. Not the house. Rob's crew shows up with hand tools, a skid steer and a trailer, takes the structure down, and leaves with it. You get a clean footprint, not a pile to deal with later.

Included

  • Sheds: metal, wood, resin and the slab underneath if you want it gone
  • Decks, stairs, railings and the posts pulled out
  • Fences: wood, chain link, vinyl, posts and concrete footings
  • Pergolas, gazebos, carports and screen enclosures
  • Concrete driveways, slabs, walkways, patios and pool decks
  • Above-ground pools and the deck built around them
  • Landscaping tear-outs: hedges, palms, retaining walls, pavers, rock beds
  • Loading every piece and hauling it the same day
  • A sweep or rake of the footprint when the trailer is loaded

Not included

  • Houses, mobile homes, or garages attached to a dwelling
  • Anything structural to a building you're keeping: load-bearing walls, roofs, foundations
  • Asbestos, lead paint or other regulated materials, which need a licensed abatement contractor first
  • Utility disconnects at the meter, which go through your utility or a licensed trade

Typical job sizes

  • A 10×12 metal shed in a Haines City backyard, gone in a morning
  • A rotten 16×20 deck behind a Winter Haven lakefront house
  • A cracked two-car concrete driveway in Davenport, broken up on site and hauled out by a partner dump truck
  • 150 feet of wood privacy fence with posts in Poinciana
  • Several landscaping demo jobs for one repeat commercial customer

Pricing

Flat rate. Quoted first. Held.

How pricing works

Demolition is quoted as one flat number that covers the tear-down, the loading and the haul. Rob looks at photos or walks the job, then gives you the price before anyone picks up a tool.

Wood, metal and vinyl ride on the dump trailer at the flat load rates: $225 quarter, $350 half, $525 three-quarter, $700 full. Concrete is different. It doesn't go in the trailers; Rob partners with dump trucks and recyclers to haul it out and quotes that per job. Tile carries an extra dump-fee charge. Rob tells you which applies before the first break, not after.

Skid steer time, when the job needs it, is part of the quote. So is the sweep at the end. What isn't included is a permit fee if your city or the county wants one. Small-structure demo is in-house; when a job needs permits or a licensed contractor, Rob partners with a general contractor and tells you that up front.

I have had the opportunity to hire Rob for several landscaping demolition jobs and we couldn't be happier with the work, the team, and the fair pricing. Rob and his team always go above and beyond to ensure that everything is taken care of…

Questions

Demolition & Removal questions

What counts as small-structure demolition?

Sheds, decks, fences, pergolas, carports, screen rooms, above-ground pools, concrete slabs and driveways, and landscaping tear-outs. Things that sit on or next to a house, not the house itself. Rob doesn't demo dwellings or anything holding up a building you're keeping.

Do I need a permit to tear down a shed or deck in Polk County?

It depends on the size, the structure and whether it's in a city or unincorporated Polk County. Check with your city or the Polk County building department. Rob will tell you if your job is the kind that usually needs one, but he's a hauler, not the permit office. When a job needs a permit or a licensed contractor, he partners with a general contractor rather than winging it.

What about power or water running to the shed?

Have it disconnected before demo day. Anything underground needs to be located first. Sunshine 811 is the free Florida service that marks buried utility lines; call them a few days ahead. Rob won't dig or cut until lines are marked and power is off.

Can you take down a shed with old siding on it?

If the shed is pre-1980 and you're unsure what the siding or paint is, get it tested first. Asbestos siding and lead paint are a licensed abatement job, not a hauler's. Newer metal, resin and wood sheds are no problem.

How long does a demo take?

Most sheds and fences are a morning. A deck is a morning to a day depending on size. A concrete driveway depends on thickness and square footage; the skid steer speeds it up a lot. Rob gives you a time estimate with the quote.

Do you haul away the debris the same day?

Yes. That's the point. The crew loads as they demo, and the trailer leaves with everything. If a job fills more than one trailer, Rob says so up front and plans the runs.

Ready for it to be gone?

Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
