Permits, safety & doing it right
A failing deck is a real hazard. Soft or spongy boards, wobble when you lean on the rail, rusted fasteners, or posts pulling loose from the house all point to structural rot — and elevated decks can fail suddenly. If yours feels unsafe, don’t wait for it to prove it.
About permits: In Denver, tearing down a deck — especially before building a new one — generally requires a demolition permit from the city (Community Planning & Development, denvergov.org/cpd). The homeowner or your general contractor pulls the permit; we handle the physical teardown and haul-away. If you’re just having an old, unused deck removed, ask the city whether your specific job needs one — requirements vary by height and scope.
Tearing out the old deck to build a new one? We’re the first step.
Planning a fresh build? Before the new boards go down — whether they’re coming from Home Depot, Lowe’s, or a local Denver lumber yard — and before your deck builder can start framing, the old structure has to come out and get hauled off. That’s us.
Here’s what most homeowners don’t realize: most deck builders don’t include teardown and haul-away, or they charge a premium for it and tie up their build crew doing demolition instead of construction. So both homeowners and contractors call us to clear the old deck first — fast — so the new build stays on schedule and the yard is ready the day the lumber arrives.
Deck builders & contractors: hand off the demo and disposal to us and keep your crew framing. We’ll have the old one gone before you break ground.

Deck removal FAQ
How much does deck removal cost in Denver?
Most jobs run from $299 for a small ground-level deck to around $1,800 for a large, elevated, or multi-level deck with concrete footings. Full demolition contractors often charge $2,000–$3,000 for the same work — we’re usually less, with hauling included. Text a photo for an exact number.
Do I need a permit to remove a deck in Denver?
Often, yes — Denver generally requires a demolition permit to tear down a deck, especially if you’re rebuilding. The homeowner or general contractor pulls it through denvergov.org/cpd; we handle the teardown and haul-away. For a simple removal, check with the city on your specific job.
How long does deck demolition take?
Small decks take about 2–4 hours. A medium deck with stairs and railings is usually a half day. Large, elevated, or multi-level decks with footings can take a full day. Most are done same-day.
Can you remove a deck attached to my house without damaging it?
Yes. Attached (ledger-mounted) decks are our specialty — we detach them carefully from the house so nothing gets ripped, and leave any exposed area clean and ready for a contractor or new build.
Do you remove the posts and concrete footings too?
Yes — support posts and dug-in concrete footings come out with the rest and get hauled away, so you’re left with clean, level ground.
What happens to the old deck wood?
We haul it all off and recycle or donate around 60% of what we collect. Nothing gets left in your yard or alley.
Can you remove a shed or fence at the same time?
Absolutely — decks, sheds, fences, and construction debris in the same yard all go in one trip for one bundled price.
