Barn/Structure Removal
Most barns or other structures are torn down and removed for the
following reasons:
- They Are Unsafe:
Because of age, rotting timbers and foundation damage, these aging
structures can be very dangerous.
- They Are An Insurance Liability:
Some barns that are attached to houses are considered to be an
insurance liability (i.e., they are a fire hazard, they are structurally
unsound, etc.).
- They Are A General Eyesore:
They have roofs that are caving in, the tin blows off from the
roofs in the winter wind, their barn boards are falling off and
their foundations are crumbling.
Let us help you remove the old and put up new!!! Or. . . let us
remove the old and you can enjoy your new lawn or garden space.
Below are photos of a barn project that Chris is still working
on:
Located in East Topsham, VT, this barn and an extended carriage
house needed to be removed for insurance purposes, as they
were attached to the family's home.

The roofs are now removed from the barn and carriage house.
I had the roof collapse in a controlled manner and in a
safe direction away from the house.

This is another fine example of the beauty and durability
that these Vermont treasures contain. This wood will also
be resold and/or reused (maybe to construct a new barn or
restore an already standing one).

These are some of the salvaged beams that will be sold to
barn restoration and antique wood specialists.; These beams
are over one-hundred years old, and are very valuable architecturally.
