Fence removal is a demo job with a lot of linear feet and a lot of small pieces. We unscrew or cut the panels, pull the posts (or cut them flush when they're set in big footings), gather the hardware with magnets, and load everything onto the truck. Chain-link comes down fastest; an old wood privacy fence with concrete-set posts takes the longest, and those are the ones our crews find most satisfying.
We've removed 44 fences in the last 24 months, and just as often we haul the debris after a fence contractor has torn the old one down and left the pile. Either way, the metal is recycled and treated wood goes to a licensed C&D facility. Fence work happens entirely outside, so you don't need to be home: once you've confirmed which run is going and the gate is open, the crew pulls it, loads it and texts you photos of the cleared line.

The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
-

Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.

You don't even need to be there
If the crew can reach the items, whether that's the alley, the garage, a doorman or a door code, they'll do the job while you're at work, text you before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Naperville
Partial Deck Demolition Including Nine Posts — Naperville, IL
This Naperville job kept part of a large backyard deck and removed the rest. The tricky part was the nine support posts, each set in a concrete footing, which all had to come out completely so the area could be regraded and seeded.

Can you remove the posts and the concrete?
Posts set in small footings we can pull. With large footings we typically cut the post flush and leave the concrete below grade, unless you specifically want them dug out, in which case the crew will include that in the estimate.
Is the fence I share with my neighbor mine to remove?
It's worth asking before you remove a shared fence. Chicago and most suburbs treat a fence on the property line as shared property. Once you've cleared it with them, we'll happily haul it.
Do you take chain-link for recycling?
Yes. Chain-link and metal posts are recycled as scrap steel.
Can you haul debris from a fence my contractor already tore down?
Yes. Stack it in one spot and book a visit; that's a standard debris pickup.
How long does it take?
A typical wood fence of 50 to 100 feet is usually a couple of hours including post pulling. Chain-link is faster.
Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
