Demolition services in Colorado Springs

With demolition services from Justin at Junkernaut Junk Removal, a worn-out shed or deck in Colorado Springs, or anywhere else in the Pikes Peak region, gets taken apart and hauled off. He takes apart the thing that is still standing, loads every piece onto his Ford F-150 and hauls it away. Call or text (719) 246-8422 to tell him what's coming down and get a price. This job starts before there is a pile. The old shed in the back corner or the deck that went soft is still in one piece when Justin gets there, and it leaves as broken-down lumber and metal, sometimes with a little concrete.

If the tearing out is already done and you only need the mess gone, that's construction debris removal, a different job with its own page. Demolition is for the homeowner who wants a structure gone and doesn't want to swing the sledgehammer, or for a manager with something on a property that has to come down. Justin prices the teardown and takes it apart himself, so the person you talk to on the phone is the one swinging the hammer.

What goes on the truck

From the full list of what goes on the truck: demolition and construction debris.

What comes down on a demolition job

Justin takes down the thing that's still standing and hauls all of it off. A garden shed with a rusted metal roof is a good example. So is a deck that's past saving, railings and stairs included.

The pile it makes is heavier and rougher than a room of furniture. Framing lumber full of nails, sheets of roofing metal, chunks of a concrete pad or a few rows of brick. A furniture job is couches and dressers that come out whole. A demolition job is the structure itself, so Justin needs to know what it's made of and roughly how big it is when you reach him. A shed that's 8 feet by 10 feet and a deck that wraps the back of the house are very different loads.

How Justin takes it apart and loads it

Justin works from where the thing stands. You don't pull a single board loose ahead of time or drag any of it out front. He takes it apart in pieces sized for the truck, carries them out and stacks the load on his Ford F-150.

Access shapes the day. A deck off a second-floor door means the boards come down the stairs or over the rail. A shed behind a fence means every piece walks out through the gate, so tell him how wide that gate is.

If you manage a rental or a commercial property, tell Justin who has the gate key and where the truck can park. He gives a two-hour arrival window and he's open 24/7, so an early start or a weekend job is on the table.

Where a torn-down shed or deck ends up

Justin sorts the load instead of dumping all of it in one place. Anything still usable, like a solid door or a set of cabinets pulled out in one piece, goes to donation first: Arc, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity.

Metal from a roof, a frame or old railing goes to a Colorado Springs metal recycler. Busted chunks of a concrete pad and loose brick get hauled to a recycling center, where they're recycled. Only the rotted framing and plain trash get dumped, either at the El Paso County transfer station or at Midway Landfill or East Landfill.

Sheds tend to hold more than tools. If the job turns up an old flat screen TV or other electronics stored out there, Justin pulls those out of the load and keeps them apart from the trash.

What Justin won't haul off a teardown

Some things turn up when a structure comes apart, and Justin won't take them. Asbestos is the big one on this kind of job. If you think what's coming down has it, say so when you reach him, because he won't tear it out or haul it.

Sheds and garages also tend to hold a propane tank or a can of fuel. Both stay behind, so pull them out or set them aside before the day of the job. Medical or biohazard waste is refused too, and hazardous waste in general isn't something he hauls. If you're not sure where an item falls, ask Justin first.

Most of what's left in a yard after a teardown is fine. For the everyday stuff, check the list of items Justin hauls.

What a demolition job costs

A teardown gets a single price from Justin, and that price holds once the pieces are loaded. What sets it is how much of the truck the broken-down shed or deck fills. The minimum is $225.

Loading, hauling and disposal sit inside that number, and dump fees are never billed on their own. A small garden shed and a big wraparound deck take up very different amounts of room, which is why the price comes from talking the job through with Justin instead of a flat rate on a page.

Of the add-ons Justin lists, the one that can show up on a teardown is anything with freon, at +$40 each. An old fridge left standing in a shed that's coming down is the usual case. Justin won't charge for the quote. Call or text (719) 246-8422.

Taking things down around the Pikes Peak region

Justin is based in Colorado Springs and works the whole Pikes Peak region. That runs from Monument down to Fountain and Security-Widefield, out east to Falcon and Peyton, and west into Manitou Springs. The list of towns on Justin's route has each one.

A shed out in Peyton and a deck in Manitou Springs get the same treatment as a fence in town. Justin carries every piece out from where it stands, so nothing has to be stacked at the curb before he pulls up, and the yard is broom swept before he leaves.

How the price works

Call or text (719) 246-8422. Justin looks at how much room it takes on the truck and gives you one number for the whole job. The number doesn't change once it's loaded. Jobs start at $225. The only add-ons: tire +$10, anything with freon +$40, mattress or box spring +$40. More on how pricing works.
