How deck removal works
Send photos of the deck from the yard and from the house, plus the stairs. We send one price. On the day, we pull the boards, drop the railings, cut the joists, and cut the posts flush with the ground. Everything goes on the trailer sorted: treated lumber, clean wood, metal hardware.
We leave the ledger board on the house unless you tell us your contractor wants it off. Footings stay below grade. The footprint is raked clear.
Why decks come down here
Richmond humidity is hard on wood. A deck built in the nineties in Brandermill, Tuckahoe or Mechanicsville has often reached the point where the boards are soft, the railings wobble, and the inspector on a home sale flagged it. Contractors will charge for demo. We charge less and they start on a clean site.
Hot tubs on decks
A lot of decks have a hot tub on them. We take both in one visit. See the hot tub removal page and send photos of both.
