Small Structure Demolition
Sheds, small buildings, playsets, hot tubs, fences, decks, carports and mobile homes taken down, with the debris hauled away after.
Taking Down the Small Stuff, Then Hauling It Off
Some junk is still standing. A portable building nobody uses, a playset the kids outgrew, a hot tub that quit working. Before it can be hauled, it has to come apart.
Klutter Krewe takes down small structures and hauls away what is left. In Westlake, that was an office building demolition: an overgrown portable office building torn down, the debris loaded out, and the lot left clear.
In Moss Bluff, it was a playset demolition in a fenced back yard. In Rayne, it was a hot tub demolition and removal from under a gazebo, with the gazebo left standing.
This page covers small structures: sheds, small buildings, playsets, hot tubs, fences, decks, carports and mobile homes. We take demolition jobs valued at $7,500 or less. Send photos of what is standing and what it sits on, and we will tell you if it is a job for us.
Pickup service starting at $125. Final pricing depends on volume, material type, labor and disposal.
What to Check Before a Structure Comes Down
A few things have to be settled before anything is torn down, and they are easier to sort out before the day than on it.
Small ones: sheds, small buildings, playsets, hot tubs, fences, decks, carports and mobile homes. Recent jobs were an office building demolition in Westlake (a portable office building), a playset demolition in Moss Bluff, and a hot tub demolition and removal in Rayne. Send photos and we will tell you if yours is one we can take.
Yes. We take small demolition jobs, valued at $7,500 or less. A bigger tear-down is outside what we take on right now. If you are not sure where yours falls, send photos and we will tell you.
Klutter Krewe carries general liability and commercial auto insurance.
That depends on where the property is, so ask before the work starts. In Lake Charles, the City of Lake Charles Permit Center sets the rules for the demolition of buildings and structures. Outside the city limits, check with your town hall or the parish permit office. When a job needs a permit, we can pull it.
Louisiana’s damage prevention law covers demolition as well as digging. Louisiana 811 says to contact them at least two business days ahead, not counting weekends and legal holidays, and the service is free. Utility owners then mark their buried lines. When a job calls for it, we make the 811 request.
Yes. We ask that the power be disconnected before demolition starts on a hot tub or a building. If it is still connected when we get there, we can disconnect it for a fee.
Suspected asbestos is a job for a licensed abatement contractor. The Louisiana DEQ asbestos handout says a thorough asbestos inspection is required any time a public, school, commercial, or industrial building is renovated, gutted, or demolished, including a building that was ever used that way. If yours has that history, or you suspect asbestos in the siding, flooring, or insulation, leave it undisturbed and have it inspected first.
Send us photos of the structure, what it is built from, and what it sits on. Pickup service starting at $125. Final pricing depends on volume, material type, labor and disposal. Estimates are free for local customers. For larger more detailed jobs, an in-person estimate may be recommended for accurate pricing.
How a Small Demolition Job Runs
Send photos of the structure from a few sides. Tell us what it is made of, what it sits on, and if power or water still runs to it. Tell us what has to stay, too: the gazebo over the hot tub, the fence behind the playset, the shed next door.
We take it apart, load the debris, and haul it away. What comes out of a tear-down is construction and demolition debris, and that material may have additional disposal costs, so it goes in the estimate.
If it is already in pieces, that is debris and yard hauling. If it is one heavy item that can leave in one piece, see appliance and heavy item removal. Not sure which one you have? Send photos and ask.
