The Deck Removal Process

While building a deck is definitely our favorite part of what we do, removing an existing deck is sometimes a necessary step in the process to getting you your dream deck.

Here are the general steps to removing a deck from the side or back of your house.

1. Remove everything from the deck including attached light fixtures or furniture
2. Remove stair railings
3. Use power tools to systematically cut and remove the deck boards. Cut them into smaller, more manageable pieces and remove them to a designated pile.
4. Remove the deck from the top down, after the deck boards are removed start the removal of the frame and supports.
5. Repair any damage made apparent by the removal of the deck.

While you may be capable of removing your deck yourself, if you are not confident, it is always safer to hire a professional.
