Wood, metal and resin shed demolition: footprint drives price more than material

Square footage and roof height set the labor hours on a shed teardown, not the siding material. An 8x10 wood shed on skids is usually a two-person, two-hour job and prices in the $350 to $700 range across DuPage County. A 12x16 gambrel shed with a loft, shingled roof and plywood floor can take a half day and lands closer to $800 to $1,600. Metal and resin sheds break down fastest and sit at the low end, though rusted metal panels need careful handling. Asphalt shingles are heavy — a 10x12 roof adds several hundred pounds of debris weight, which is why roof type is quoted on-site rather than over the phone.

Fence removal in DuPage County is priced per linear foot, not per section

Fence removal is quoted by linear foot pricing. Chain link generally runs $4 to $8 per linear foot and cedar, board-on-board or stockade privacy fence runs $6 to $12 per linear foot. The variable is what holds the posts: fence posts set in concrete take far longer to pull than posts driven into DuPage County's heavy clay soil. Posts set in concrete are commonly priced as a separate add-on or quoted at the top of the range. Vinyl and aluminum panel fence sits mid-range because the panels come off cleanly but the sleeved posts are still concreted. A 100-foot run of old chain link along a property line is a typical half-day removal.
