Demolition of Wood Deck

To Remove and Demolish Your Wood Deck…

We try to remove as much of the deck as we can and reduce the deck’s weight as quickly as possible while retaining accessibility and support for the structure we are working on and around. Generally, this means removing the railings first and cutting them into large sections (we usually cut rails at the post) that will stack well. Then we strip up the decking a piece at a time, leaving the steps and framing for last.

We remove the floor joists one at a time, often retaining a few temporarily to keep a beam in place. If a beam is too large to remove all at once, we cut it into smaller sections. We leave stairs up until we no longer need them, occasionally adding temporary supports to hold up posts while we remove beams and stair stringers.

DECK DEMO AND REMOVAL 

Is it time for your deck to be demolished and removed? We know what exactly you need.
Your deck may have once served a purpose, but if it’s time to get a new one installed, you need to first consider the existing deck demolition and removal. However, demolishing a deck involves a lot of hard work and it is better left for the professionals to take care of it.


It’s always a better idea to get rid of an old and decaying structure to free up that space for something more contemporary. However, a lot of work needs to be done before you start planning how to utilize the space.  Los Angeles Property Preservation is considered the best among the deck demolishing services in Los Angeles, that can help you with the disposal of your old deck efficiently and affordable.

How To Deconstruct A Deck

First off, ask yourself how extensive your work is going to be. If you’re generally happy with the deck and it looks like only a few boards need replacing, a deck removal might not be the answer. A full deck construction project will require significant planning such as coming up with deck ideas, selecting deck materials, developing a project timeline that considers the deck removal.

Something else to consider is the effect your deck will have on the value of your home. A quick deck repair to an old, rotting deck could be a liability if you’re trying to sell, while a full deck construction project can significantly improve the crucial curb-appeal of your home. Like any home renovation job, you can get seriously injured if you don’t plan ahead. Even a shortfall can be seriously painful if you land the wrong way, and that’s not even getting into the rusty fasteners, mold spores, and other potential work hazards you may run into. Have safety equipment handy, and think before you pull.

Its time to make changes around the house

As the housing market struggles, many homeowners are electing to put off the buying and selling process until the market improves. Money that was set aside for down payments is now being used to improve the current residence. One of the most popular home improvement projects is renovating or replacing an existing deck. 

Depending on the original deck design, your first step is usually going to be the demolition process.  For a ground-level deck, this process is as simple as ripping lumber while standing on firm ground and cutting the deck sections into pieces small enough to safely carry away. On elevated decks, do not exceed the level of your expertise; deck lumber is heavy and unforgiving and once the supports are cut away bad things can happen, quickly.

Repair or Replace: Is It Time for a New Deck?

If your decking has cracks, looks dirty, or suffers from mildew, it’s time to decide whether to refinish or replace it entirely.

Signs of an unsafe deck may not be obvious so safety checks are critical when deciding to repair or replace. Also, if your deck was built before 2004, it’s probably made of lumber treated with chromated copper arsenate. Regular refinishing helps to seal in the toxic arsenic that CCA decking contains. But if the finish is flaking or worn off in spots, we suggest hiring a pro who’s equipped to safely remove the old finish, dust, and debris and then refinish it.
