Rotting boards, wobbly railings, a deck the inspector flagged before your sale. We tear it out and haul it away the same day, and you get back a clear yard or a clean slab for the new one.
Chicago decks rot from the bottom up: the ledger board against the house, the joists over the damp, the stair stringers sitting on the ground. Once the boards start giving underfoot, the fix is removal, and demo debris is exactly what we haul every day. We've completed 68 deck jobs in the last 24 months, from second-story back porches in Logan Square to full backyard decks in Naperville, and our crews genuinely enjoy the work.
We remove the deck boards, joists, railings and stairs, and if you'd like, the posts and footings we can pull without heavy equipment. Nails and hardware get picked up with magnets, and clean lumber is separated for recycling. If you're rebuilding, we leave the site ready for your contractor. And since it's all outside, you don't need to be home: leave the gate unlocked and the crew can take the deck down, load it and sweep up while you're at work, then text you photos of the cleared yard.
Call (312) 800-1940 or book online. Tell us roughly how big the deck is and whether it's ground-level or elevated.
They look at the structure, the footings and the route to the truck, and give you one firm price. No hourly meter running.
Saws, pry bars and magnets. Most residential decks come down in a few hours. We keep debris off the lawn and load as we go.
Nails swept up, footings flagged or removed as agreed, debris gone. Ready for the new deck, a patio, or grass.
Naperville
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.

An Elmhurst home had about 70 feet of aging wood privacy fence along one side of the house and another 35 feet across the back, and it was time for it to go.
Read the case study →Evanston
An Evanston home had a 10x12 plywood shed with a shingled roof sitting on a concrete slab in the back corner of the yard. The slab was staying; the shed was not.
Read the case study →Demolition of an attached structure like a deck or porch can require a wrecking permit from the City of Chicago Department of Buildings, especially for porches serving upper floors. Suburbs vary. We'd recommend checking with your municipality, and we'll happily haul whatever comes down.
Small pier footings we can often dig out and pull by hand. Large poured footings need a jackhammer or an excavator, which we don't bring, and the crew will tell you honestly what they can do once they've seen them.
Yes. Composite is heavier and isn't recyclable in this market, so it carries a weight surcharge.
Clean, untreated lumber can be. Most decks are pressure-treated, which can't be recycled or burned, so it goes to a licensed C&D facility.
Absolutely, that's a standard debris pickup. Stack it in one spot and book a visit.
Yes, in the same visit. See hot tub removal.
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.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
