The lines, priced apart by frame
| Cost line | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Teardown labor line | labor at $50-$100 per hour where billed hourly | no separate hourly labor line in Frame B |
| Disposal line | disposal fees at $300-$1,800 | no separate disposal line in Frame B |
| Concrete-pad line, foundation adder only | concrete foundation removal at $2-$6 per square foot | shed with concrete pad at $1,200-$3,500 as one total |
| Permit line | permits at $100-$500 | no separate permit line in Frame B |
| Cleanup line | site cleanup at $100-$1,100 | no separate cleanup line in Frame B |
In Frame A each adder prints as its own line beside an overall band of $250 to $3,000; in Frame B the pad prints only inside the shed-with-pad total. No Frame B line is summed into a Frame A total. The shed removal job whole prices on the shed removal hub.
The Frame A adder sublines
| Subline, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Labor, where billed hourly | Frame A | $50-$100 |
| Disposal fees | Frame A | $300-$1,800 |
| Concrete foundation removal, foundation adder | Frame A | $2-$6 |
| Permits | Frame A | $100-$500 |
| Site cleanup | Frame A | $100-$1,100 |
| Overall band | Frame A | $250-$3,000 |
| Per-square-foot line, minimum starting | Frame A | $3.50-$11.50, around $250 |
The adder sublines stand apart in Frame A, each printed as its own line and none folded into another. The concrete foundation line is a foundation adder only, never this cluster's own concrete row.
The Frame B sublines
| Subline, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Shed only | Frame B | $250-$2,000 |
| Shed with concrete pad | Frame B | $1,200-$3,500 |
| Contents hauled as junk | Frame B | $150-$500 and up |
| Utility disconnection, electrician | Frame B | $50-$130 |
| Utility disconnection, plumber | Frame B | $45-$150 |
| Utility disconnection minimums | Frame B | $150-$200 |
Frame B prices utility disconnection by the trade, apart from the shed-only total. Contents hauled as junk is a contents line in this frame, named apart from general junk removal of mixed loads, which sits in its own lane.
The size totals behind the lines, by frame
| Size total, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| 8 by 6 shed | Frame A | $170-$550 |
| 10 by 12 shed | Frame A | $420-$1,380 |
| 10 by 16 shed | Frame A | $560-$1,840 |
| 12 by 24 shed | Frame A | $1,000-$3,300 |
| Shed only, all sizes | Frame B | $250-$2,000 |
The size totals are separate countings of one shed removal job, printed apart, each on its own frame. Named apart, never a line here: shed installation, and garage and whole-structure demolition. Suspected asbestos in pre-1970 cement panels is named apart to the asbestos field and never priced here.
