What barn and shed teardown includes
We take down barns, sheds and other outbuildings that are past saving, from a small storage shed to a full barn. The crew works with a Kubota skid steer and a grapple, which moves lumber, siding and roofing quickly and keeps the job short.
- Teardown of the building, down to the foundation or slab.
- Sorting so usable beams and boards can be kept if you want them.
- Site clearing and haul-off, so the ground is ready for pasture, a new building or a fence line.
Check these before a building comes down
Do not burn old barn lumber until you have checked the rules. Both states limit open burning of demolition debris, and townships can be stricter. Ask your township fire department before any fire.
What affects the price of a teardown
- The size and construction of the building.
- Whether the roof has metal, shingles or other materials to sort.
- Access for the skid steer, and how far the debris must go.
- Whether you want salvage kept, or everything hauled.
We give you the scope and price in writing at a FREE estimate. If the old barn sits next to a fence line or a pasture, read about fence removal and farm and ranch fence, since new fence often goes in right after.

Questions we hear
Do you tear down barns in Ohio and Pennsylvania?
Yes. Solid Rock Fencing tears down barns, sheds and outbuildings in Ohio and Pennsylvania, clears the site and hauls the debris away.
Do I need a permit to tear down a barn or shed?
It depends on your township or county. Many ask for a demolition permit, so call your local zoning or building office before the work starts. We can talk through what to ask at the estimate.
Can old barns contain asbestos or lead paint?
Yes, older buildings sometimes do. Asbestos rules differ by state and building type, and Ohio EPA and Pennsylvania DEP both run asbestos programs. Mention the age of the building at the estimate.
Can I keep the beams and boards?
Yes. Tell us at the estimate which beams, boards or roofing you want kept, and we will sort them out before the rest is hauled.
Do you work on barn teardown in winter?
Yes. The crew works all year, and many teardown and cleanup jobs are done in the cold months. Call and we will tell you what can be done now.
