Spring is here, and across Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex County, homeowners are walking into their backyards and staring down the same problem: a structure they haven't used in years that needs to go.
Maybe it's the rotting shed in the corner of your yard in Toms River. The hot tub on the deck in Freehold that hasn't worked since 2019. The above-ground pool in Old Bridge the kids have outgrown. Whatever it is, it's taking up space, killing your lawn, and lowering the look of your property.
Bobby Built It handles all of it — demolition, removal, and haul-away — across all three counties. Here's what you need to know before you call.
Sheds seem like a simple removal job until you're standing in front of a 12x16 structure with a concrete pad, rusted tin roof, and 20 years of accumulated junk inside. That's where most homeowners tap out.
Professional shed demolition in Monmouth, Ocean, or Middlesex County typically covers:
What does it cost? Shed removal in NJ generally runs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a small garden shed up to $1,000 or more for large structures with concrete pads or difficult access. Bobby Built It prices based on size, material, and access — call or contact us online for a free estimate.
If your town isn't listed, call us anyway — chances are we cover it.
Hot tubs are one of the most deceptive removal jobs out there. A standard freestanding spa weighs anywhere from 500 to 900 pounds dry — add residual water, a deck surround, or tight backyard access and it becomes a job that absolutely requires a trained crew with the right equipment.
We handle hot tub removal across all three counties regularly, and here's what the process looks like:
What does it cost? Hot tub removal in NJ typically runs between $200 and $800 depending on size, weight, and access. In-ground spas or units set in concrete will cost more due to the added demo work involved.
One thing we hear a lot: "Can I just leave it on the curb?" The short answer is no — municipalities across Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex County do not accept hot tubs as bulk curbside pickup. It has to be professionally removed and disposed of.
Above-ground pools are a Jersey Shore staple. They're great in July. By October, they're a maintenance burden. By year five or six, a lot of homeowners just want them gone — but the sheer size and amount of material involved makes this a two-person-minimum, full-day job.
A typical above-ground pool removal includes:
What does it cost? Above-ground pool removal in NJ ranges from roughly $300–$800 for a basic pool with no deck, up to $1,500–$3,500 or more if the pool has a wraparound deck that needs to come down too. Bobby Built It will give you a straight quote with no surprises.
We're not a franchise. We're a local crew based in Monmouth County that works across the region because that's where our customers are. Here's what sets us apart from the national "junk removal" chains:
Do I need a permit to remove a shed in NJ? In most Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex County municipalities, you do not need a permit to demolish and remove a residential shed. However, if your shed is on a permanent foundation or has electrical service running to it, a permit may be required. We can help you navigate this — just ask when you call.
Can you remove a shed that's full of stuff? Yes. We offer combined shed cleanout and demolition jobs regularly. We'll clear out the contents, sort anything worth donating or recycling, and then demo and haul the structure itself.
How long does backyard structure removal take? Most shed, hot tub, or above-ground pool removals take between 2 and 6 hours depending on size and complexity. Large pool-with-deck jobs can run a full day.
What areas do you serve? Bobby Built It serves Monmouth County, Ocean County, and Middlesex County NJ. From Middletown to Toms River to Old Bridge, we've got the whole region covered.
Do you recycle or donate removed materials? Where possible, yes. Metal from sheds and pool frames is often recyclable. We aim to keep as much out of the landfill as we responsibly can.
Spring in Central NJ is the perfect time to finally get that shed demolished, that hot tub hauled away, or that pool broken down and removed. Don't let another summer go by staring at a structure you don't want.
