Demolition and Structure Removal
Services in Elmira, NY
From a single structure to a full property cleanout, Morse Junk handles every type of demolition and structure removal in Elmira, NY. We tear down the structure and haul away every bit of debris in one visit, so you’re not stuck managing multiple crews or renting a dumpster.
Shed Demolition & Removal
We break down sheds of all sizes, from small garden sheds to large storage structures. Every board, panel, and piece of roofing material gets loaded and hauled off the property. You won’t be left picking through a pile of old wood or rusty hardware.
Deck & Patio Demolition
Old decks and deteriorating patios take up space and create safety hazards. We pull apart the structure down to the posts and clear out all the wood, concrete footings, and hardware. It’s a clean slate once we’re done.
Fence Removal
Whether it’s a rotted wood fence, chain link, or a mix of both, we’ll pull it out and haul it away. Fence removal sounds simple until you’re dealing with concrete-set posts that won’t budge. We handle that part too.
HOT TUB REMOVAL
Old hot tubs are heavy, awkward, and hard to move without the right tools. Morse Hauling handles hot tub removal in Elmira, NY by dismantling the unit, loading every piece, and hauling it away. You get a clear area without the lifting, trailer rental, or disposal run.
POOL REMOVAL
Above-ground pools take up space and are tough to dispose of on your own. Pool removal includes breaking down the pool, removing the liner and frame, loading the debris, and hauling everything away. The area is left clear so you can reclaim your yard.
Concrete, Brick & Rock Removal
Breaking up and removing concrete slabs, brick, and rocks is heavy work. We haul out the debris after busting it up, whether it’s an old patio slab, a crumbling retaining wall, or a pile of fieldstone left from a previous project. No material is too heavy to load.
SMALL STRUCTURE DEMOLITION AND TEAR DOWNS IN ELMIRA, NY
Old outbuildings and backyard structures can become unsafe fast. Small structure demolition and tear downs cover sheds, lean-tos, carport canopies, small additions, and other standalone structures that need to come down. The job starts with a quick assessment of how the structure is built and what access looks like, then the teardown is done in a controlled way to keep debris contained. After the structure is down, all material is loaded and hauled away, including lumber, roofing, hardware, and any leftover debris. The goal is simple, remove the structure completely and leave a clean footprint that is ready for the next project.
Why Hiring a Local Crew in Elmira, NY Beats Renting a Dumpster for Structure Removal
Renting a dumpster sounds like the cheap option until you add up the full picture. Dumpster rental in the Elmira area typically runs a few hundred dollars for a week, and that price doesn’t include your labor, any tools you need to rent for the teardown, or the hauling of heavy materials like concrete and old treated lumber that some rental companies won’t even accept. Concrete, brick, and heavy framing lumber often fall outside the weight limits of standard dumpster rentals, which means overage fees or materials that simply can’t be tossed in. When you hire Morse Hauling & Junk Removal, we bring the crew, the tools for the teardown, and the truck. One flat quote covers everything from the first swing to the final sweep. For homeowners in Elmira, Horseheads, and the surrounding area, that usually works out to a better deal than the dumpster route, with a lot less work on your end. And you’re not waiting a week for pickup. The debris leaves the same day the work gets done.

What Happens to Your Property After a Shed or Structure Comes Down in Elmira, NY
A lot of people focus on getting the structure down and forget to think about what comes next. Once a shed, deck, or small outbuilding is demolished, you’re left with a site that may have old concrete footings, compacted ground, hardware buried in the soil, and scattered debris that’s easy to miss. In Elmira and across Chemung County, properties often have older outbuildings that were built without permits and may contain older materials like treated lumber, asbestos-containing roofing panels, or lead-based paint on wood surfaces. We assess the structure before we start work. If we spot any materials that require special handling, we’ll walk you through the options before a single piece comes down. After the teardown, we clear every visible piece of debris from the site. Footings, anchor bolts, scattered nails, and loose material all get removed. What’s left is a clean footprint that’s ready for whatever comes next, whether that’s a new structure, landscaping, or just open yard space. That level of cleanup is what separates a proper structure removal from just knocking something down.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DEMOLITION & STRUCTURE REMOVAL IN ELMIRA, NY
We handle sheds, decks, patios, fences, swing sets and playsets, above-ground pools, hot tubs, carport canopies, lean-tos, and other small outbuildings. We also remove concrete slabs, brick, and rock that are left behind after a structure comes down. If you’re not sure whether your project falls within what we handle, give us a call and we’ll let you know straight away.
Pricing depends on the size of the structure, the type of materials involved, and the amount of debris. A small shed removal is generally less expensive than a full deck teardown with concrete footing removal. We provide free, in-person estimates so you get an accurate quote before you commit to anything. There are no hidden fees added after the job is done.
Clear any personal items, tools, or valuables out of or around the structure before we show up. If there’s a padlock on a shed or a gate blocking access to the backyard, make sure we can get in. If you have pets, keep them inside or secured during the job. Aside from that, there’s nothing else you need to do. We handle the rest.
All debris from demolition and structure removal jobs gets hauled away in our truck. Materials that can be recycled, like metal framing and certain wood, may be sorted for recycling rather than sent straight to landfill. Usable items salvaged from structures get donated to local organizations through our donation program wherever possible. Our goal is to keep as much material as we can out of the landfill, and we’ve already donated 300+ items across our service area through that effort.
Permit requirements for demolition in New York State vary by municipality and structure type. In most cases, small accessory structures like sheds, decks, and fences do not require a demolition permit, but it’s always worth confirming with the City of Elmira’s Code Enforcement office or your local municipality before work begins. Larger structures or anything attached to the main home may fall under different rules. We can help you identify the right questions to ask, but we recommend property owners verify local permit requirements directly with their municipality to stay compliant.
