Deck Removal & Hauling Services- Santa Cruz County

Santa Cruz Junk Removal provides professional deck removal and deck demolition services in Santa Cruz and throughout Santa Cruz County. If you have an old, damaged, rotting, unsafe, or unwanted deck that needs to come down, our team can handle the demolition, removal, hauling, treated wood disposal, and final cleanup from start to finish.

​

Deck removal isn't just another junk removal job. Once a deck starts coming apart, you're dealing with heavy framing lumber, deck boards, joists, beams, posts, railings, stairs, nails, screws, hardware, concrete and, in many cases, pressure-treated wood.

​

That's why it's important to know who you're hiring and what they're actually going to do with the material once it leaves your property.

​

Did you know that much of the lumber removed from older decks may be treated wood?

Pressure-treated wood requires special handling and disposal in California. Santa Cruz Junk Removal is experienced with treated wood waste, and our company maintains a California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) identification number as part of our handling and disposal operations.

That's something worth asking about when you're comparing deck removal companies.

Ask the company you're considering: How are you handling my treated wood, and where is it going after it leaves my property?

​

We believe customers should know.

Treated wood isn't something we discover halfway through a deck demolition and suddenly decide we can't take. We regularly encounter pressure-treated lumber during deck removals, demolition projects, fencing removal, property cleanups, and construction debris hauling.

​

We know how to identify and separate treated wood when required, transport it appropriately, and take it to an authorized facility that accepts treated wood waste.

That means you don't have to tear the deck apart yourself, separate piles of lumber, rent a trailer, figure out which facility will accept the material, or worry about being left with a pile of treated wood after the rest of the deck is gone.

​

We can haul treated wood.

Our hauling capacity is another major advantage when it comes to deck removal. Santa Cruz Junk Removal operates high-capacity hauling equipment capable of removing up to 33 cubic yards of material in a single load.

​

A deck can look relatively small while it's standing, but once it's dismantled, the deck boards, framing, stairs, railings, posts, and other materials can create a substantial amount of debris. Having the right hauling capacity means we can often remove a large amount of material without making unnecessary trips back and forth.

​

Depending on the size, construction, access, and amount of material involved, we may be able to demolish, load, and haul away the entire deck during the same service visit. Larger deck demolition projects can also be completed using additional loads when necessary.

​

Our deck removal service can include deck boards, pressure-treated lumber, framing lumber, joists, beams, posts, stairs, railings, hardware, nails, screws, loose wood, and other accepted demolition debris associated with the structure.

Already tore the deck down yourself?

No problem.

​

If you or your contractor already completed the demolition and you're left with piles of deck boards, framing, pressure-treated lumber, or other deck debris, Santa Cruz Junk Removal can provide the hauling and cleanup portion of the project.

We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, real estate professionals, contractors, and commercial property owners throughout Santa Cruz County.

​

Deck removal may be needed because an older deck has deteriorated or become unsafe, but that's not the only reason customers call us. You may be replacing your existing deck, installing a patio, changing your landscaping, creating more usable yard space, renovating a recently purchased home, preparing a rental property, getting a property ready to sell, or simply deciding that you no longer want the deck.

Whatever the reason, once you've decided the deck needs to go, we can provide one company to handle the demolition and debris removal.

​

If you're already working with a contractor who will be building your new deck, we can also handle removal of the old structure. Your contractor can concentrate on the new construction while Santa Cruz Junk Removal handles tearing down, loading, hauling, and disposing of the old deck.

And we don't consider the job finished just because the large pieces are gone.

​

Deck demolition creates smaller pieces of wood, splinters, nails, screws, hardware, and debris throughout the work area. Once the deck has been removed and loaded, we clean up the area and collect the remaining demolition debris so you're not left dealing with the mess afterward.

Our goal is to leave the space clear, safe, and ready for whatever you're doing next.

We also believe in straightforward estimates. Deck removal pricing can vary depending on the size and construction of the deck, accessibility, demolition requirements, hauling volume, treated wood, concrete, disposal requirements, and the amount of labor involved.

​

For many projects, we can come out, evaluate the deck, provide an estimate, and begin the removal during the same appointment when the estimate is approved and our schedule and equipment availability allow.

​

If you're comparing deck removal companies in Santa Cruz, don't just ask, "Can you remove my deck?"

Ask a few more important questions.

Do you actually perform deck demolition?

Can you haul pressure-treated wood?

How will the treated wood be handled?

Where will the material be taken?

Do you have the hauling capacity to remove the debris efficiently?

Will you clean up after the demolition?

​

Santa Cruz Junk Removal is prepared for these projects. Deck removal and treated wood hauling aren't services we simply advertise and then try to figure out when we arrive.

We provide deck removal and deck demolition throughout Santa Cruz County, including Santa Cruz, Capitola, Soquel, Live Oak, Aptos, Rio Del Mar, Seacliff, Scotts Valley, Watsonville, Felton, Ben Lomond, Boulder Creek, and surrounding communities.

​

Santa Cruz County properties can also present unique access challenges. Decks may be behind homes, below hillsides, down stairs, through narrow gates, or located on properties with long or difficult driveways. We'll evaluate the access and determine the most practical way to dismantle the structure and move the material from the property to our hauling equipment.

From smaller backyard decks to larger deck demolition and property cleanup projects, Santa Cruz Junk Removal has the equipment, hauling capacity, and experience to get the structure down and the debris off your property.

​

​

And before hiring anyone to remove an old deck, ask them what happens to the treated wood after it leaves your property.

​

With Santa Cruz Junk Removal, treated wood isn't an afterthought. We can haul it, we understand that it requires proper handling and disposal, and we maintain a California DTSC identification number as part of our operations.

​

When your old deck comes down, our goal is simple: get it demolished, get the material hauled away properly, clean up the area, and leave your property ready for what's next.
