About Our Service

Deck Demo & Full Yard Restoration

Old decks in NYC and Nassau are a liability - rotten joists, failing railings, rusted hardware, termite damage. Homeowner insurance often requires removal of decayed decks. We demo, haul, and restore the surface underneath.

Ground-level backyard decks, second-story decks with railings, rooftop terrace decks, pool decks - all handled. We coordinate with roofers when a rooftop deck is being removed (waterproof membrane repair/replacement often needed).

Typical ground-level deck removal: 1 day. Second-story or large deck: 1–2 days. Rooftop deck with membrane repair: 2–3 days (coordinated with roofing partner). Yard graded and seeded, rooftop restored to walkable.

140+ Deck
Decks removed across NYC & Long Island, including 40+ rooftop terraces.

Compare

Demolition vs. DIY vs. General Contractor

Not sure which option is right? Here's how they stack up.

Bottom line: If you want it gone fast with zero effort, junk removal is the move. If you have a week-long renovation, a dumpster rental makes more sense. We offer both - call and we'll recommend the right option.

📍

Gather items in one area

The faster we can access everything, the faster the job goes.

🏷️

Separate what you're keeping

Point it out to the crew before we start - nothing leaves by accident.

🚪

Clear a path to the exit

Move rugs or furniture that might be in the way of the nearest door or elevator.

⚠️

Check for hazardous items

Set aside paint, chemicals, propane. We can't take those but can point you to options.

We handle loose items, piles, and clutter. That's literally what we do.

FAQ

Common Questions About Deck Removal in NYC

Quick answers to what NYC clients ask most.

Q How much does deck removal cost?

Small ground-level deck (under 200sqft): $550–$900. Medium (200–500sqft): $900–$1,800. Large or elevated (500+sqft): $1,800–$4,000. Rooftop decks: $2,500–$6,000 with membrane coordination.

Q Do you remove the footings too?

Yes, included for small/medium decks. Larger concrete footings with deep pier placement: +$200–$500 depending on depth and material.

Q Can you leave the concrete pad under the deck?

Yes - many homeowners want to keep the slab for a future patio. We demo the deck, leave the pad in usable shape.

Q How long does it take?

Small deck: 1 day. Medium: 1–1.5 days. Large: 2–3 days. Rooftop decks: 2–3 days with roofing coordination.

Q Will you damage my yard?

Not normally. We bring plywood protection for high-traffic paths. Final yard restoration (seed/sod) is extra if desired.

Q What about rooftop decks?

We coordinate with NYC roofing partners for membrane repair or replacement - often needed after rooftop deck removal. Full-service rooftop jobs include the membrane work in the quote.

Q Do you need a permit?

Most residential deck removals: no. Large elevated decks with structural attachment to house may require demolition permit. We'll advise.

Q Can you recycle the lumber?

Yes. Pressure-treated wood goes to C&D recycling. Untreated wood can be recycled or donated if in good shape (Habitat ReStore accepts).

Q What about deck railings and stairs?

Included. Railings, balusters, stairs, stair railings - all hauled. Stair stringers included in demo.

Q Same-week service?

Usually yes. Standard ground-level decks can often be scheduled within 3–5 days. Rooftop or large decks: 1–2 weeks.

Tips

Future-Proof Your Next Deck

Quick tips from our crew.

Use composite over wood

Composite decks last 25+ years vs. 10–15 for wood. Higher upfront cost, way lower removal cost.

Think about footings now

Concrete footings are the hardest part to remove. Helical piers are more removable if you might want the deck gone someday.

Waterproof the rooftop membrane correctly

A bad membrane under a rooftop deck = $20,000+ in leak damage. Hire the roofer BEFORE the deck builder.

Get the permit

Un-permitted decks create problems for future sales. Permit cost is $500–$1,500 in NYC - worth it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does junk removal cost in NYC?
    Most NYC jobs fall in these ranges: single-item pickup $125-$225, half-truck $300-$550, full truckload $700-$950. We give a fixed quote on the phone or after a 2-minute walkthrough - no hourly billing, no 'we found more weight' surprises at the end.
    What is the minimum charge for junk removal?
    Our minimum is $125 - covers the trip, two-person crew, and disposal at a licensed C&D facility for any single item up to one piece of furniture. No call-out fee, no stair fees, walk-up included.
    Why is 1-800-GOT-JUNK so expensive?
    National chains charge a per-cubic-foot rate that escalates fast - typical full-truck quotes run $850-$1,400 in NYC. We're a local crew with our own truck and lower overhead, so the same load typically saves you 30-45%. One fixed quote, not 'starts at' pricing.
    How do I get rid of bulk items in NYC?
    Three options: (1) NYC DSNY bulk pickup - free but appointment-based and limited to 6 items; (2) donation centers (Housing Works, Salvation Army) - only for items in good condition; (3) a licensed hauler - handles everything, photo-documented, donation receipts emailed. We do option 3.
    Who will pick up junk for free near New York?
    Truly free pickup is limited to NYC DSNY bulk-trash days (6 items max, scheduled by your address) and some donation centers for items in excellent condition. For anything larger, the 'free' option costs you a weekend + a U-Haul. A private hauler is typically cheaper once you factor in real costs.
    What's the cheapest way to get rid of junk?
    Cheapest legal option is curbside DSNY bulk-trash pickup. For anything they won't take (mattresses, electronics, construction debris, hot tubs, hoarder-condition loads), a licensed hauler beats every DIY alternative once you factor in disposal fees, dump runs, and lost weekend hours.
