Deck removal across the Golden Isles.
Old wood decks, composite decks, screened porches. Saw, demo, haul. Footings stay unless you say otherwise.
Deck removal is real demolition work. The job is sawzalls, pry bars, and the time it takes to pull every nail and screw out of weathered lumber. Coastal-Georgia decks usually have a lifetime of salt air and humidity baked into the wood, which means the lumber doesn’t come apart easily and the hardware fights back.
Most decks come down board-by-board followed by the frame. Joists, beams, ledger boards — every piece comes apart at its connection point and gets stacked for the haul. We don’t dump deck lumber whole; we cut it down to dimensions that load cleanly into the truck.
Footings stay in the ground unless the customer specifically wants them out. Concrete deck footings are a separate scope of work — we don’t break footings as part of a standard deck haul. If the next project on the property requires the footings to come out, we’ll talk through it as a separate job.
What we haul
Specifically, what we take for deck removal.
- Wood decks (pressure-treated, cedar, hardwood)
- Composite decks (Trex and similar)
- Screened porches and three-season rooms (deck portion)
- Deck rails, balusters, and stair systems
- Deck framing (joists, beams, ledger boards)
- Deck footings (when specifically contracted)
How we work
How we actually handle it.
Deck removal is sawzall work — boards up, frame down, hardware pulled. Most family-yard decks come down in four-to-eight hours depending on the size and how the deck was built.
Composite decks come apart faster than wood because the boards separate from the joists more cleanly without rusted nails fighting the disassembly. Older wood decks with thirty years of salt air on them are the slowest version of this job.
Screened porches are a common variant. The screen panels and porch frame come down separately from the deck below. Customers often want the deck and the porch removed in the same job; we handle both as one scope.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Deck pricing scales with size, materials, and what’s coming down with the deck. A small wood deck without a porch is the lightest version. A large multi-level deck with an attached screened porch and stairs to multiple grade levels is heavier work.
We come look at the deck and tell you a real number. Photos help for an initial estimate; in-person walkthroughs work better for larger jobs.
