That old shed, the rotted deck, the barn that's been leaning for five years, the carport nobody parks under anymore. If it needs to come down, IronJaw brings an excavator or a skid steer, knocks it down, loads it up, and hauls it off. Debris removal is included in every quote, not billed as a surprise at the end.
The owner walks every demo job before a price exists: checks the structure, looks at the materials, confirms utility disconnects, sizes up equipment access. You get a firm number for the whole job, knock-down through haul-off, before a machine shows up.
No spam. We'll call you within 24 hours.
Structure demolition is the job of taking something built and making it gone. Sheds, barns, carports, decks, mobile homes, old fencing, concrete slabs, whatever the structure is, we bring the machine that matches it, take it apart, load the debris, haul it off, and rough-grade the footprint. One crew, one price, one day for most residential structures.
This isn't hand-demo with a pry bar and a dumpster. Excavators and skid steers do in hours what a hand crew takes days to finish, and the site comes out cleaner because the machine can sort and load as it works rather than piling everything in the yard for a separate cleanup. Most residential sheds, carports, and decks are down, loaded, and gone before the end of the day.
We handle light structure demolition: old wooden buildings, agricultural structures, metal sheds, carports, decks, fences, mobile homes, and concrete pads. We are not a licensed structural demolition contractor for occupied buildings or commercial structures requiring SCDHEC asbestos review. If you're not sure whether your structure falls in our scope, describe it when you call and we'll tell you straight.

Renting a dumpster and spending a weekend with a sledgehammer sounds cheaper until you add up the hours, the trips, the disposal fees, and the mess. Here's why equipment-based demo is the faster path to a clean site.
An excavator or skid steer takes down a residential structure in hours, not the three to five days a hand crew needs for the same shed. Your weekend stays yours and the structure is gone before you'd have finished setting up the scaffolding.
Every IronJaw demolition quote includes debris removal. No dumpster rental, no separate haul-off contractor, no pile of material sitting in the driveway for two weeks waiting on a pickup. One price covers the whole scope.
If the structure is sitting on land you're also clearing, we do both in one trip. Demolition, haul-off, then clearing, all under one quote with one crew. No scheduling gap between the demo contractor leaving and the clearing crew showing up.
Wood, metal, or mixed-material sheds and outbuildings of any size and any condition. Rotted, collapsing, or just in the way. Taken down and hauled off completely.
Old barns, farm buildings, and timber-frame structures that have outlived their use. Brought down safely, materials sorted and loaded, site cleaned.
Attached and detached carports, decks, pergolas, and covered structures demolished down to the footings. Post footings and concrete piers pulled and removed.
Old mobile homes, trailers, and manufactured structures removed in full. Skirting, framing, roofing, all of it off the property. Slab prep available as a follow-on.
Old concrete slabs, block foundations, and footings broken up, loaded, and hauled off. The ground underneath left ready for new construction or grading.
Chain link, wood, wire, and post-and-rail fencing pulled out and removed. Posts extracted, concrete footings dug up. A common add-on to land clearing and homestead jobs.
Call (854) 300-4979Before any price: the owner inspects the structure, checks the materials (wood, metal, concrete, mixed), confirms that utilities are disconnected, and evaluates equipment access. The quote covers knock-down, load-out, haul-off, and rough grading of the footprint.
Electric, water, and gas all verified disconnected before equipment mobilizes. If anything is still live, we coordinate with you on getting it shut off before demo day. No machine touches a structure with live utilities.
Excavator or skid steer brings the structure down, materials are sorted for load-out, concrete is broken and staged. Everything gets loaded and removed from the property.
The demo footprint gets a rough grade pass to level it out, the site is cleaned of debris and tracked material, and we walk it together before we leave. You confirm it's clean, then we go.
The shed that's rotting, the deck that's dangerous, the carport nobody uses, the mobile home that's been sitting empty. You've been meaning to deal with it. We make it disappear.
Old structures drag down appraisals and scare off buyers. We remove them and leave a clean site that shows better and sells faster.
Decades-old farm structures that have outlived their purpose. Barns, old fencing, equipment shelters, and outbuildings removed so the land can go back to work.
Demolition pricing follows the structure: what it's made of, how big it is, how much debris comes off it, and how far the debris has to go. A small wood shed in an open backyard is a quick job. A large barn with a concrete slab and metal roofing on a lot with tight access is a bigger one. Every quote includes debris haul-off, one price for the whole job: knock it down, load it up, haul it off, clean the site.
IronJaw walks every job before quoting. We inspect the structure, assess materials, and give you a firm written price, not a per-hour estimate that grows on the job.

Call (854) 300-4979Depends on the structure. Size, materials, debris volume, whether there's a concrete slab underneath, and equipment access all move the number. Every quote includes debris haul-off, so the price you get is the price you pay. We walk every job and give a firm written number before equipment mobilizes.
In most Lowcountry jurisdictions, yes, if the structure had a building permit when it was built. Requirements vary by municipality. Mobile homes and slab demolition often have separate permit categories. We flag what your project likely needs during the walk, though the permit itself is the property owner's responsibility.
Sheds, outbuildings, barns, carports, decks, pergolas, mobile homes, old fencing, concrete slabs, and foundations. We handle light structure demolition on residential and rural properties.

Yes, in every quote. Knock-down, load-out, haul-off, and rough grading of the footprint are all included in one price. No dumpster rental, no separate haul-off bill, no debris pile left in the driveway.
Yes. We use controlled demo methods and compact equipment when the structure is tight against other buildings, fences, or property lines. The approach takes more care and more time than open-area demo, and we walk through the plan with you during the assessment.
Yes, and it saves money. One mobilization covers both scopes: the structure comes down, the debris gets hauled, and the surrounding land gets cleared in the same trip. We quote the combined package as one job.

Demolition in the land clearing context typically means removing old structures from a property being cleared for new use: dilapidated barns, abandoned outbuildings, old fencing and fence posts, deteriorated sheds, concrete pads, and similar structures that sit on rural or transitional properties. It's rarely a standalone service. It most often comes up when a landowner is clearing a rural property that has old agricultural infrastructure from a previous era of use. Demolishing and removing an old barn or outbuilding before clearing the surrounding land prevents the debris from getting tangled up in the clearing work and creates a cleaner site for whatever comes next. IronJaw Clearing handles light structure demolition (old wooden agricultural buildings, fence removal, and similar work) in conjunction with land clearing and site prep projects. We are not a licensed structural demolition contractor for occupied buildings, commercial demolition, or any project requiring SCDHEC asbestos review (which applies to structures built before 1980 that may contain asbestos-containing materials). If you have an old barn or outbuilding on a property you're clearing, describe the structure when you call, we'll tell you honestly whether it falls within our scope or whether you need a licensed demolition contractor first. For rural properties with straightforward old wooden agricultural structures, we can typically handle the demolition and clearing as a combined package.
