Show the whole deck, including stairs and railings
Give approximate length, width and height above the ground. Identify platforms, steps, railings and material. Photograph edges and visible supports from accessible ground positions. Mark parts leaving and sections staying. Leave damaged or unstable areas undisturbed for assessment.
Request a deck removal review
Review attachments and elevated work separately
Say whether the deck is freestanding, attached to the house or connected to another structure. Show visible connections and anything relying on its supports. Attached or elevated work needs separate assessment and an agreed scope. Identify lights, outlets and plumbing so specialist preparation can be planned separately.
Send the standing deck for assessment
Decide what happens to posts, bases and concrete
List visible posts and footings, and say which should stay for a replacement. Concrete, buried supports and ground work need individual review. The quote identifies approved components; removing the boards does not automatically remove every footing or restore the ground below.
Review broader structure teardown planning
Plan loading from the actual property
Show gates, slopes, steps and the route to truck parking. Mark retained fencing, planting and belongings to protect. Identify painted or treated material, dense debris and unknown materials for disposal review. A standing deck behind the house needs a carrying plan beyond hauling a detached driveway pile.
Debris already detached? Review pickup
Approve dismantling, hauling and the finished condition
Dimensions, construction, connections, labor, access, weight and disposal affect the complete quote. Agree on the parts leaving, practical cleanup and finished condition. Share any contractor or handoff deadline. Your onsite estimate is free with no obligation; removal is paid after approval, with scheduling agreed after assessment.
