Deck Demolition Services in Memphis, Tennessee
Deck demolition is a specialized service requiring proper equipment, structural knowledge, and disposal expertise that goes far beyond standard junk removal. Whether your deck in Bartlett or Lakeland has rotted wood, outdated construction, or needs replacement, EvoNorth Junk Remova manages the complete teardown process from start to finish. We work with residential properties throughout Memphis and Shelby County, including historic neighborhoods near Overton Park and newer subdivisions in Arlington and Piperton.
Our deck demolition process begins with a site assessment to identify the deck's materials, size, and structural connections to your home. We then disconnect all fasteners, remove decking boards and railings, dismantle support posts and joists, extract concrete footings, and haul away 100% of the debris in single or multiple loads depending on deck size. Most residential decks are completely removed within 1-3 business days, with the site left clean and ready for new construction or landscaping.

Our Deck Demolition Process
Initial Inspection and Quote
We visit your Memphis-area property within 24 hours to measure deck dimensions, assess material type, and identify any special considerations. An exact quote is provided with no hidden fees.
Disconnection and Structural Preparation
Our crew disconnects the ledger board from your home's rim joist using appropriate fastener removal tools. We ensure your home's structural integrity remains intact throughout this critical step.
Systematic Deck Dismantling
Working top-down, we remove railings and stairs first, then decking boards, followed by support joists and posts. This approach typically takes 4-8 hours for average residential decks.
Footing Extraction and Site Preparation
We dig out concrete footings, extract post holes, and remove any debris remaining at ground level. The site is then leveled and swept clean within 1-2 hours.
Debris Hauling and Proper Disposal
All materials are loaded into our trucks and transported for recycling, reuse, or proper landfill disposal. Pressure-treated lumber is separated for appropriate handling per EPA guidelines.
