Chicken coop removal across the Golden Isles.
Coops, runs, hutches. We break down the wood and wire, pull the posts, and haul it all out.
Part of our Light Demolition service
Backyard chicken coops are one of those structures that look small until you start taking them apart. A coop and its attached run is wood framing, wire mesh stapled to every face, a roof of corrugated panel or shingle, and a set of posts that someone sank into the ground years ago. By the time we get the call, most of them have been standing through a lot of coastal weather — the wood is soft at the base, the wire is rusted, and the whole run has leaned a few degrees off square.
The job is part demolition, part untangling. We pull the run fencing off the posts, dig or work the posts out of the ground, break the coop down into haulable sections, and load all of it. The frame comes apart at the fasteners where it can and gets cut where it can’t. Wire mesh is its own task — it doesn’t fold flat and it doesn’t want to stay rolled, so we cut and bundle it so nothing pokes out of the truck.
One honest note up front: we clean up and haul the structure, not the flock. We don’t handle live animals. If chickens or rabbits are still using the coop, they need a new home before we show up — once it’s empty, the building is ours to deal with.

How we work
How we actually handle it.
Most coops come down in pieces rather than all at once. We start with the run — wire comes off the posts, posts come out of the ground — then break the coop itself into sections small enough to carry to the truck. Older coops that have been rained on for years often come apart easier than they look, because the wood has gone soft at every joint. Newer, well-built ones take a pry bar and a saw.
The slow parts are predictable. Posts that were set deep, or set in a little concrete, take real work to get out clean. Wire mesh has to be cut and bundled so it travels safely. And a coop that has sunk into the dirt usually has a base course of rotted wood half-buried in the soil that we dig free rather than leave behind.
We do not handle the birds, the bedding cleanout as a sanitation service, or anything living. Bagged droppings and loose litter we can take with the structure as ordinary debris, but if there’s standing waste we’ll talk through it on site so everyone’s clear on what’s leaving and what isn’t.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Coop pricing scales with size, how it was built, and how hard the posts fight us. A small free-standing hutch on level ground is the lightest version of this job. A full coop-and-run with sunk posts, a soft rotted base, and a lot of wire mesh is heavier work and takes longer to break down and load.
Call us with what you’ve got — or send a couple of photos of the coop and the run — and we’ll give you a real number for your structure. We don’t price every coop the same, because no two backyard builds are the same.

- Live animals — chickens, rabbits, or any livestock must be rehomed before we arrive
