Smokehouses and wood sheds behind Fort Meade's oldest homes
Fort Meade dates to 1849, and more than 150 buildings in town are designated landmarks. The Victorian and early-1900s homes on the older streets often have an outbuilding as old as the house: a smokehouse, a wood shed, a wash house that became a shed. Pine frame, board siding, tin roof, and a century of contents. Rob's crew clears it, takes it down by hand, and loads it as it comes apart. There's usually no slab, just brick piers or a rotted floor sitting on the dirt.
Age brings two things to check before demo day. If the siding or paint is old and you don't know what it is, have it tested; asbestos siding or lead paint is an abatement job before a hauler touches it. And with so many landmark buildings in town, ask the City of Fort Meade whether your outbuilding needs sign-off before it comes down. Rob will say if it looks like one that usually does.
Lean-tos and equipment sheds on the acreage
Past the town limits it's cattle, groves and old phosphate land, and the sheds are working sheds: a lean-to over a tractor, a pole shed with a dirt floor, a metal kit next to a well pump. The Kubota track loader rides down with the trailer, pulls the posts, and the crew strips the tin and drops the frame. Sand drives and gates are no problem for a trailer behind a pickup. Concrete, when there is any, leaves by a partner dump truck and is quoted separately.
Fort Meade is 58 minutes south through Bartow on US-17 or US-98, and same day isn't realistic this far out. Rob books it a day or two ahead with his Bartow and Frostproof stops and says so plainly. A shed plus a smokehouse plus a carport is the kind of job that makes the drive worth it.

Questions
Shed Removal & Demolition in Fort Meade
Will you take down a smokehouse or an outbuilding that's as old as the house?
Yes, if it's not attached to the house and not holding anything up. Get old siding or paint tested first if you're unsure what it is. The crew takes it down by hand and loads it as it comes apart.
How much notice does a Fort Meade shed job need?
A day or two. Fort Meade is about 58 minutes from the yard, the far south end of Rob's map, so it's booked with Bartow and Frostproof. He'll give you the day when you call.
Can you get to a shed on acreage south of Fort Meade?
If it's in Polk County and there's a road to it, yes. The trailer and the track loader follow the pickup down sand drives and through gates. Rural addresses ride on the same scheduled run as town.
Ready for it to be gone from Fort Meade?
Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
