In Aurora, light demo jobs pop up all the time. A fence falls over after a wind day. A shed is rotting out behind the garage. A deck starts sagging and nobody wants to step on it anymore. Or you buy a house and the backyard has an old playset and a dead hot tub that’s been sitting there since like 2009. That’s usually when people start searching for a light demolition service in Aurora and asking, “Who can remove this without turning it into a huge project?”
Mile High Junk is based in Aurora, and we do the kind of light demolition work that most homeowners and landlords actually need. We’re in neighborhoods like Southlands, Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach, Mission Viejo, and Aurora Hills, and we run jobs near E-470, I-225, Havana, Buckley, and Colfax. The goal is simple: remove the structure, haul away the debris, and leave the space cleaner so you can move on.
Quick advice before any demo: take photos of the area and note what’s nearby—sprinkler lines, power lines, gas meters, and fences you’re keeping. It saves time and avoids dumb mistakes.
Light demolition means small tear-outs and removals. Not full house demo. More like “this thing has to go” and you want it done safely and fast. We break down, load up, and haul away, and we keep the work area controlled so debris doesn’t end up all over the yard.
If you’ve been searching light demolition service in Aurora because you don’t have the tools, the truck, or the time, this is exactly the type of job we handle.
Shed removal / shed demolition is common in Aurora because old sheds take a beating from sun, snow, and wind. Floors rot out, doors fall off, and wasps move in. We can take down wood sheds and small metal sheds, break them down into manageable pieces, and get the debris hauled out.
If the shed has stuff inside, you can empty it first or we can talk through what’s staying vs going.
Fence removal helps when a fence is leaning, falling apart, or you’re replacing it and need the old sections gone. We remove broken panels, posts (where accessible), and debris piles after a fence replacement.
This is especially helpful for corner lots and windy areas where fences get hammered. A light demolition service in Aurora can get the old fence cleared so the new install goes faster.
Deck removal is for old decks that are unsafe or just outdated. We can tear down deck boards, rails, framing, and haul it away. If you’re replacing the deck or going back to grass, removing the old structure is step one.
If there are stairs, lattice, or built-in benches, those can be included too. Just tell us what you want removed.
Swing set / playset removal is one of those jobs people put off for years. Kids outgrow it, and then it sits there in the yard. We remove wood and metal playsets, break them down, and haul away the material.
If the playset is half buried, or set in a tight spot near the fence, we’ll plan the safest way to get it out.
Hot tub removal (disassembly + haul-away) is a big one. Old hot tubs are heavy, awkward, and they don't move in one piece. We disassemble as needed, cut down the shell, and haul everything away. You can learn more about how we handle the full process on our hot tub removal page.
If it's on a deck or patio, we'll talk through access first so there aren't surprises on demo day.
Demolition debris haul-away is for when you did the demo already and just need the mess gone. Piles of wood, metal, broken concrete, and mixed debris can sit in the driveway for weeks if you don’t have a plan.
Call us, show us the pile, and we’ll haul it away so you can use your driveway again.
Demolition general clean-up is the part people forget. Nails, small scraps, broken pieces, and leftover trash make the area feel unfinished. We clean up the work zone so it’s safer and looks better when we leave.
If you need a light demolition service in Aurora, call Mile High Junk. Tell us what you’re removing (shed, fence, deck, playset, hot tub, small patio), and where it sits on the property. We’ll give you a clear plan, get it torn down, haul the debris, and leave the space ready for whatever is next.
From the Denver Tech Center and RiNo to Fitzsimmons and Gateway Park, our trucks cover the entire Denver metro area. Nearby suburbs like Golden, Brighton, and Commerce City are also on our route.
Taking on a demolition project can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure what's involved, what it'll cost, or who handles the mess afterward. We get those questions every day from homeowners and property managers across Aurora. Here are some of the most common things people ask us before booking a light demolition job.
We take on a wide range of light demolition projects throughout Aurora, including shed teardowns, deck removal, fence removal, hot tub disassembly, drywall demolition, and interior strip-outs. Whether you're prepping for a renovation in your Aurora home or clearing out a backyard structure that's seen better days, we handle the demo work and haul everything away so you don't have to worry about cleanup or disposal.
It depends on the scope of the project. Smaller jobs like removing a fence or tearing down a shed typically don't require a permit in Aurora, but larger interior demolition work or anything involving structural changes may need approval from the City of Aurora's Planning and Development Services department. We're happy to help you figure out what applies to your specific project before any work begins.
Light demolition covers non-structural removal work — think interior features like cabinets, flooring, drywall, and built-ins, or outdoor structures like decks, sheds, and fencing. Full-scale demolition involves tearing down load-bearing walls or entire buildings, which requires heavy equipment and specialized contractors. Our light demolition services in Aurora are ideal for homeowners tackling remodels, property cleanups, or pre-renovation prep without the cost and complexity of a full demo crew.
Once the demolition work is done, we load everything up and handle all the hauling and disposal for you. Recyclable materials like wood, metal, and concrete are sorted and taken to the appropriate facilities in the Aurora and Denver metro area. The rest is disposed of responsibly and in full compliance with Arapahoe County waste regulations. You're left with a clean, clear space ready for whatever comes next.
