Deck Removal & Demolition in Atlanta

Most removals run $5 to $15 per square foot, depending on size, height, complexity, and accessibility. A typical 300 sq ft single-level deck costs $1,500-$4,500 for complete teardown, debris hauling, and basic site cleanup. Multi-level decks, elevated structures, and decks with built-in features like hot tub pads cost more. We provide a detailed quote after seeing your deck.

Most single-level deck removals take 1-2 days, including teardown and hauling. Larger multi-level decks or elevated structures may take 2-3 days. If we're also removing concrete footings and grading the site, add another half day to a day. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.

It depends on the condition of the structural frame. If the joists, beams, and posts are solid and the damage is limited to the surface, repair or resurfacing is usually cheaper and faster. If the frame has widespread rot, termite damage, or the footings are shifting and the deck feels unsafe, removal and rebuilding is the better investment. We offer free inspections and will tell you honestly which option makes sense.

Yes, we can dig out concrete footings and posts as part of the removal. Some homeowners choose to leave footings in place if they're planning to build a new deck in the same location — existing footings can sometimes be reused if they're in good condition and meet current code requirements. We'll discuss your options during the estimate.

We haul all debris — wood, hardware, concrete, railing materials — off your property as part of the job. Salvageable materials like intact composite boards or aluminum railings can be recycled. Pressure-treated lumber is disposed of properly since it can't go in regular yard waste. You don't have to deal with any of it — we leave your yard clean and clear.
