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 Whether your deck in Bartlett or Lakeland has rotted wood, outdated construction, or needs replacement, EvoNorth Junk Remova manages the complete teardown process from start to finish.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

1

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.

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.

Deck Demolition FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does deck demolition cost in Memphis?

Residential deck demolition typically ranges $1,500-3,500 depending on size, materials, and accessibility. A single-level 12x16 foot deck averages $1,800, while larger two-level decks can reach $3,200-3,500. We provide exact quotes after a free 15-minute site assessment.

How long does deck removal take?

Most Memphis residential decks are completely removed within 1-3 business days. Small decks under 400 sq ft typically take one day, standard 600-800 sq ft decks require 1-2 days, and larger multi-level decks may take 2-3 days. We schedule based on crew availability throughout Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville.

Do you remove the concrete footings under the deck posts?

Yes, we fully extract all concrete footings and dig out post holes down to ground level. This ensures your property is completely cleared and ready for new construction or landscaping. Footing removal is included in all deck demolition quotes.

What happens to the deck debris after removal?

All debris is hauled away in our trucks and transported to appropriate disposal facilities. Pressure-treated lumber is separated and handled according to EPA guidelines. Recyclable materials like metal fasteners are recovered when possible. Your site is left completely clean with no debris remaining.

Do you disconnect the ledger board safely to protect my home?

Absolutely. Improper ledger board disconnection is the most common cause of water damage and structural problems. Our crews are trained in proper disconnection techniques that preserve your home's rim joist and exterior wall integrity. We remove all fasteners completely and inspect the connection area for existing damage.

Do I need a permit for deck demolition in Memphis?

Most residential deck demolition does not require a permit in Memphis or Shelby County, but we recommend confirming with your city or county building department. Commercial or large-scale demolition may require notification. We can advise during your free quote consultation.
