Deck Removal

Florida retires decks early. Sun cooks the boards, summer rain works into every fastener, and near the coast — Jupiter, Palm Beach, anywhere the salt air reaches — the screws give up years before the wood does. When a deck goes from "needs staining" to "avoid that corner," rebuilding starts with getting the old one gone. Nimble tears down wood and composite decks and hauls every scrap in the same visit.

What's included

Full teardown and full cleanup: deck boards, joists and framing, support posts, railings, stairs, built-in benches, lattice skirting, and the pergola top if there is one. We clear whatever's living under the deck (there's always something), pull or cut posts, haul all debris including the bucket of rusted fasteners, and rake the footprint flat. Concrete footings and pads can be quoted as part of the same visit if you want them gone too.

The honest scope

We handle light demolition: ground-level and low-elevation residential decks. Where a deck attaches to the house, we remove the deck and leave the house untouched — structural alterations to the home itself aren't our lane, and we'll say so plainly. Elevated second-story decks and anything load-bearing beyond the deck itself: send photos and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right crew or your contractor should lead.

How it works

1. Photos first. A couple of angles of the deck and its footing situation through the quote form.
2. Free firm estimate. Decks are quoted as a flat project — size, material, and height set the price, and you approve it before anything happens.
3. Demo day. Most single-level decks come down and leave in two to four hours.
4. Walkthrough. You check the cleared footprint before we go.

How pricing works

Demolition projects are always a free, firm estimate rather than menu pricing — a sun-rotted 10x12 platform and a wraparound with three stair runs are different jobs. The number you approve covers teardown, all debris, and disposal. Rebuilding? Time us just before your contractor's start date and they walk onto a clear site.

Where the debris goes

Metal railings, brackets, and fasteners go to recycling. Pressure-treated lumber and composite boards can't be donated or mulched — they go to licensed disposal, which is exactly where they belong.

Common questions

Do you handle permits? Most residential deck removals don't require one, but rules vary by city — we'll flag it if your job looks like an exception.

Can you take the old patio set too? Same truck, same visit — bundle it into the estimate.

Partially collapsed deck? Yes, and please stay off it. That's exactly when to call us.
