Deck Demolition and Removal: It’s Time for that Deck to Go
Ever look out at your backyard and think, “Man, that deck has seen better days”? Maybe the wood’s rotting, the boards are warping, or it just doesn’t fit your style anymore. Whatever the reason, you’ve decided it’s time for it to go. But now comes the big question—who actually does deck demolition and removal?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking for a full-service removal, a local contractor, or even considering tackling it yourself, here’s your go-to guide for getting that deck gone.

2. Independent Contractors (For Custom Jobs)
If you’re looking for a more custom approach, hiring an independent contractor could be the way to go. Unlike junk removal services that handle demolition and hauling, independent contractors may also offer rebuilding options if you’re replacing your deck.
Where to find a good contractor?
HomeAdvisor or Angi – Search for “deck removal contractors” in your area
Local Facebook Groups or Nextdoor – Great places to find trusted local pros
Ask Your Neighbors – Word-of-mouth recommendations can lead to the best finds
Tip: Always check reviews, ask for references, and get a detailed quote before hiring a contractor!
3. DIY Deck Removal (If You’re Feeling Handy)
Want to save money and don’t mind some hard work? You can absolutely remove your deck yourself—just be ready for some heavy lifting.
What You’ll Need:
Tools – Crowbar, circular saw, drill, sledgehammer, safety gear.
Dumpster or Hauling Service – You’ll need a way to get rid of all that wood.
Help – Deck removal is a tough job; having an extra set of hands makes a huge difference.
Be Safe! Old decks can be unstable, and pulling them apart can be dangerous. If you’re not sure about structural risks, it’s best to hire a pro.
4. Home Builders & Warranties (If You’re Replacing Your Deck)
Planning to install a new deck after removing the old one? Some construction companies include demolition as part of their package when you hire them for a new build. If you’re replacing your deck, ask your builder if they:
Handle demolition for free (some do!)
Offer a discount on removal if you’re installing a new deck
Provide warranties on new deck construction
5. What’s It Gonna Cost?
So how much does deck removal actually cost? Here’s a rough breakdown:
Junk Removal Service/Independent Contractor – $800 to $3,000 (includes teardown & hauling)
DIY – Costs mainly for dumpster rental ($300–$500), tools if needed, and ALL of your time.
Factors that affect pricing:
Deck size – Bigger decks = more labor and disposal costs.
Material type – Wood is cheaper to dispose of than concrete or composite.
Accessibility – If it’s hard to reach, removal costs may be higher.
