Our Deck Removal Services

At Rock Steady Site Services, we specialize in safe, efficient, and thorough deck removal. Whether you’re upgrading your outdoor deck or removing an old deck to make room for a new type of structure, our team is equipped to handle the task with the right tools and safety equipment in place.

Deck Demolition Expertise

A common reason for removing a deck includes an aging structure that becomes a safety hazard due to instability, rotting wood, or rusted hardware. Other reasons include replacing an outdated design, increasing usable space, and preparing for a new deck or patio installation. Our team uses professional-grade tools such as reciprocating saws, circular saws, and pry bars to break down old decks into manageable pieces.

We carefully remove deck boards, support beams, ledger boards, decking joists, metal railings, and other essential deck materials. Our crew will ensure that each larger section is broken down into small pieces and disposed of safely. We even handle stubborn fasteners and remaining nails with precision, so your yard is left clean and ready for the next phase.

Safety First

Deck removal can be tough work, which is why we prioritize safety. Our team wears the necessary safety gear, including eye protection, gloves, hard hats, and long pants, to ensure a safe working environment. We also follow local government regulations, ensuring the job is done right and in compliance with local authorities.

Efficient Disposal and Recycling

Once the deck is removed, we haul away all debris and transport it to local recycling centers or disposal facilities. We make sure all recyclable materials are properly sorted to reduce environmental impact. Although we don’t offer deck deconstruction, we can help you salvage parts reusable parts of your deck that are still in good condition.

Types of Decks We Remove

  • Wood: Pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or redwood—prone to rot and insect damage over time.
  • Composite: A blend of wood fibers and plastic, which can fade or warp with age despite being low-maintenance.
  • Vinyl: Durable and weather-resistant, but can become brittle or crack over time.
  • Metal: Often used for framing, susceptible to rust in certain climates.

Responsible Disposal Practices

We prioritize safety and compliance with all local and federal regulations:

  • Treated Lumber: Properly disposed of according to EPA guidelines to prevent environmental hazards.
  • Metal Hardware: Removed from the site and disposed of responsibly.
  • Concrete Footings: Handled and disposed of based on site requirements and local standards.

Our Deck Demolition Process

Initial Assessment

We begin with an on-site evaluation to assess the condition of the deck, identify challenges, and plan for safe and efficient removal.

Preparation

Before dismantling the deck, we ensure surrounding areas are protected. This includes taking precautions to avoid damage to nearby landscaping, structures, or utilities. We secure any necessary permits if required by your local municipality.

Safe Dismantling

Using a combination of manual tools and equipment, our team carefully disassembles the deck, starting with railings and flooring and working down to the support structure. For hazardous decks, we systematically remove unstable parts.

Debris Removal and Site Cleanup

All debris is removed from the site, leaving the area clean and ready for its next use. Treated lumber is disposed of in compliance with EPA mandates and is never burned due to its toxic nature. We sweep the area with a magnet to collect nails, screws, and other hardware, ensuring your property is safe and tidy.

Property Preparation

Beyond removal, we offer site preparation services to ensure your property is ready for its next step, whether that’s installing a new deck, landscaping, or another outdoor project.
