Deck Removal Orange County, CA

Deck removal in Orange County is often a safety decision as much as a design one. Over time, sun, sprinklers and termites break down wood decks. Boards soften, nails pop up, railings loosen and stairs start to feel unsteady. Eventually, an old deck becomes more of a hazard than a place to relax.

Tearing out a deck is heavy, messy work. You have to pry up decking, cut apart framing, deal with thousands of nails and screws, and then find a way to haul all that lumber away. Consequently, many homeowners would rather hand the job to a crew.

Doctor Junk Removal handles the demolition and the cleanup. Our crew takes the deck apart piece by piece, loads the debris onto our truck and clears the area so it’s ready for pavers, turf, a new deck or landscaping.

Things to Check First

However, some decks are attached to the house, sit on a slope or support other structures. In those cases, a contractor may need to look at it first. Also, because permit rules vary by city, check with your local building department if your project involves structural changes. Finally, mark any electrical lines, lighting or irrigation running under the deck.
