Project finished? Congratulations, that's the hard part! If the leftover lumber is still stacked in the garage or along the side of the house, we'll load it up, haul it away and sweep up after.
Lumber and wood removal in Chicago is one of those jobs that sneaks up on you. A project ends and the extra two-by-fours go in the garage, an old fence comes down and the boards end up along the side of the house, or the deck finally gets replaced and the old one has to go somewhere. Wood piles up quietly, and it's heavy, awkward and full of nails. We have it handled!
Our crew carries out wood of every size, nails and all, and loads it onto the truck for one firm price. Painted and pressure-treated wood go on the same truck, no sorting needed. If it's still good, like a stack of new boards or leftover sheets of plywood, we'll try to find it a new home. Otherwise, we take it to one of our recycling partners.
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940, and pick an arrival window that works for you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.

Before: about 800 square feet of rooftop decking (Wicker Park)After: the same rooftop, deck removed (Wicker Park)
This Wicker Park homeowner had about 800 square feet of aging wood decking on the roof, along with patio furniture, a picnic table and a bordering fence. Partway through planning they added an old HVAC compressor to the list, which was no problem at all.
This Carpentersville backyard had an above-ground pool with a raised wooden deck and stairs, tucked back among the trees. The homeowner was ready to get that corner of the yard back.
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.
Every pile is a little different, so the crew gives you one firm price once they've seen how much wood there is and where it's sitting. Loading, hauling and wood disposal are all part of that price, so there are no surprises on the receipt. It's a free estimate, no obligation.
Do the nails need to come out?
Nope! Leave the nails and screws in, and the crew will load the wood as it is.
Can you take pressure-treated or painted wood?
Yes. It goes on the same truck as everything else, and we take it to one of our recycling partners.
Can you take down a deck or fence that's still standing?
A few small scraps are easy enough to handle yourself, but a whole pile of lumber is heavy, awkward and full of nails. The city's bulk pickup only helps once it's already outside, which still leaves you carrying it all out. The easiest way is a full-service junk removal company like ours: we load it from wherever it sits and take care of the rest. We got you covered!
Do I need to be home?
Not if the wood is outside, in the garage or by the alley. Just make sure the crew can get to it, and they'll call or text you the price before anything moves, then send you before-and-after photos and take payment over the phone or with a card on file.
Do you take pallets?
Yes, wood and plastic. For on-demand pickups from a business whenever the stack is ready, see pallet removal.
We'd rather give you a price we can stand behind than guess over the phone. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out, and gives you one price that covers the loading, hauling and disposal, whether it's a few boards or a whole garage full. If it works for you, they'll take care of it right then. It's a free estimate, no obligation.
You'll know the price before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the receipt. How our pricing works →
