Demolish or repair in Bucks county

Is your old shed leaning to one side? Is your deck looking more like a safety hazard than a summer hangout spot? If you're wondering whether it's worth fixing or time to tear it down and start fresh, you're not alone. At TMM Construction, we help homeowners across Bucks County make smart decisions about their property — and that includes knowing when it’s time to repair or demolish a shed or deck.

Here’s what to consider:

Not everything that looks worn down needs to be demolished. Here are signs that repairs might make more sense:

• Your deck posts aren’t rotting and your joists are intact
• Your shed floor is solid, and there’s no major roof sagging

• A new coat of paint, new deck boards, or a new shed door may bring it back to life
• The roof may just need patching rather than full removal

• Sometimes basic fixes can give you a few more years of use without the full cost of demo + rebuild

Some structures are past the point of no return — and repairing them may be more costly or dangerous in the long run. Here’s when demolition is the better option:

• Posts, beams, or joists are rotting
• Shed roof is collapsing or leaking heavily
• Termite or water damage is extensive
• Fasteners are rusted and pulling apart

• Your deck wobbles, boards are warped, or it leans when stepped on
• Shed doors or walls are coming apart
• It’s unsafe for kids or pets to be near

• Your needs have changed — maybe you want a larger deck, or don’t use the shed anymore
• You’re getting ready to sell your home and want a clean, updated backyard look

Before you start repairs or demolition, keep these local factors in mind:

• Permits: In Bucks County, demoing a shed or deck may require a permit, depending on size and location. Always check with your township.
• Property value: Removing an old eyesore can actually increase your home’s appeal to future buyers.
• Disposal: Don’t forget about junk hauling — demo isn’t just tearing down, it’s also cleaning up. That’s where we come in.
