Garage, shed and outbuilding demolition in Courtenay
Courtenay Demolition tears down garages, sheds and outbuildings across Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland. A shed or small outbuilding runs $800 to $2,500, and a detached garage runs $2,500 to $8,500. We handle the permit your municipality requires and clear the site when we're done.
We take down sheds, detached garages and other outbuildings and load out the debris. Concrete pads and footings can come out with the structure or stay in place — your call.
A shed or outbuilding runs $800 to $2,500 total. A detached garage runs $2,500 to $8,500 total, depending on size and whether the slab comes out.
What's included
We tear down the structure, sort the debris, and grade the site when we're finished. Where a permit applies, we handle it with your municipality before work starts.
What changes the price
A single garage costs less to take down than a double, since there's less structure and slab to deal with. The footing type matters too — a garage on a full concrete footing takes longer to break out than one on piers. How close the building sits to a property line can also slow the job down, since we're working with less room for the machine, and sometimes more of it comes down by hand instead.
How a garage or shed comes down
- 1
Site walk — we check the footing type, the property lines, and how close the machine can get.
- 2
Permit check — we confirm whether your municipality needs a permit for this size of structure.
- 3
Teardown — the structure comes down, and we decide with you whether the slab and footings come out too.
- 4
Clean-up — debris sorted and hauled, and the site graded where the structure stood.
What does this mean for your property?
A shed or small outbuilding close to a fence line often comes down more by hand than by machine, which changes the labour but not necessarily the total price. Tell us the setback from your property line and we'll factor it into the quote.
What does a typical job look like?
- The problem
- A detached double garage sits within two feet of the side property line.
- What makes it harder
- There's no room for the excavator to work from that side, so most of the wall nearest the line has to come down by hand.
- What we do
- We break out the near wall by hand, then bring the machine in from the driveway side to finish the rest and load out the debris.
