Barn Dismantling and Demolition in McDonough County, IL

How does barn demolition work?

Oftentimes, the barn demolition process involves first tearing out the siding and then cutting small relief notches in the upright timbers. From there, the skeleton of the barn is typically tied to a large truck and pulled down. Once the barn is torn down, the timbers, roof, and other debris are removed.

How does barn deconstruction work?

Barn deconstruction is done by hand rather than excavators or bulldozers, making the process more labor-intensive than demolition. Because of the labor and time involved, deconstruction is more expensive upfront than demolition. However, the barn wood salvaged from deconstruction can then be reused or resold to offset the cost of deconstruction.
