Chicago decks rot from the bottom up: the ledger board against the house, the joists over the damp, the stair stringers on the ground. When 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.
We remove the deck boards, joists, railings, stairs and, if you want, the posts and footings that 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.
What We Take
- Wood and composite deck boards
- Joists, beams and ledger boards
- Railings, balusters and privacy screens
- Stairs, landings and stringers
- Posts and footings (where removable by hand)
- Old deck lights, planters and built-in benches
- Hot tubs and grills sitting on the deck
- Pavers or patio stone under the deck (ask)
How Deck Removal & Demolition Works

Crew quotes demo + haul as one job
They look at the structure, the footings and the route to the truck, and give you one firm price. No hourly meter.
-
3
Demo day
Saws, pry bars, magnets. Most residential decks come down in 2–5 hours. We keep debris off the lawn and load as we go.
-
4
Clear yard, swept slab
Nails swept, footings flagged or removed as agreed, debris gone. Ready for the new deck, a patio or grass.
