Light Demolition in St. Simons Island, GA

St. Simons isn’t one place, and a teardown changes with the part of the island it’s on. A shed behind a beach rental sits on a tight street where the smaller truck is the right call. A carport on a big lot farther north is about how far the pieces travel and how soft the ground is between the structure and the trailer.

On the larger gated properties we settle the details before the truck rolls: the distance from the structure to where our trailer can park, getting cleared through the gate, and a spot for the equipment that won’t be in anyone’s way while we work.

A storage shed in a back yard in Fifty Oaks or a tired deck over in Butler Plantation comes down the same way: contents out first, then roof, walls, framing and floor, top down in the reverse of how it went up.

Island sheds hold years of things, and some of what’s inside deserves a second look. Anything that might carry value or meaning gets pulled aside for you to decide on before the walls come down.

Almost nobody empties the shed first, and that’s fine: clearing it is part of the job, and on a packed shed that stage can take as long as the demolition. If it’s full, the photos will show us.

We take the structure apart with hand and power tools, cut the pieces to lengths that load, sweep up, and leave the property around it intact — the siding a deck was attached to, the neighbor’s side of the fence.

We stick to light, non-structural work. Anything structural, like a load-bearing wall, framing or an addition? Send photos, and we’ll tell you what it takes and who needs to be involved. If a permit is needed, we’ll sort it out with you when we quote.

A circuit feeding the workshop, or a water line to an outdoor sink? When licensed electrical or plumbing work is needed, that’s normally handled by you or a licensed pro. Show us what you have and where it is, and we’ll help figure out what’s needed and work around it.

A slab or footings underneath? Send us a few photos and tell us where it is, and we’ll tell you what it takes.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

We decide where each part of the structure goes from the material and its condition, and the load comes straight off the island to Brunswick.

Metal sheds, chain link, roofing panels and hardware usually go to scrap, often at SA Recycling in Brunswick.

Reusable material goes to reuse or recycling when that’s practical, never promised, and rotted wood and broken siding go to disposal. Whatever was stored inside follows its own route.
