How Do You Know it’s Time to Remove Your Old Deck and Fence?
There are many reasons you may consider removing your old deck and fence. But how do you know for sure that it is time to trash the old for the new?
The following are some of the most common reasons to demolish a deck or an old fence:
- Improve your property’s appearance with fresh materials and wood.
- Create new designs that provide accessibility or added safety.
- Replace the deck or fence with something new, like a pool or hedge.
Repairs
If only a small portion of your deck and fence are worn, you may want to look into repairing the structures rather than removing them all together. For example, if the sunniest part of your property has dried out the wood of your fencing only on one side of the property, perhaps you should repair the section and wait on replacing all the fencing surrounding your home.
Replace or Trash
There are tell-tale signs that will help you decide whether your deck and fence need total removal and replacement. If you observe any of the following characteristics of your fencing or deck, it may be time to remove it entirely:
- Holes throughout the wooden deck and fence
- Wood is splintering
- Metals are rusting and becoming brittle, like the screws in a deck or a chain link fence
- Fence or deck is sagging or leaning
- Insect damage
- Cracked vinyl fencing
How to Remove Your Old Deck and Fence
Removing an old deck and fence can be quite a rigorous task for someone to complete independently. A successful deck or fence removal will require proper planning, including hiring a trusted company for the job.
The experts will have the correct tools and knowledge to remove the deck and fence safely and promptly. Plus, eliminating worn and damaged fencing or a backyard deck can expose you to safety hazards or potentially further damage your home or property if not done correctly and carefully.
What Does it Cost?
The average cost for removing a deck ranges from $600 to $1,000. This all depends on several factors:
- The size of the deck
- The complexity of the deck
- Where you live
- The removal company you choose
- The amount of usable material
On the other hand, the typical cost to remove your fence is between $600 and $800 but can certainly exceed $1,000. The following are some of the factors that will impact the price of your fence removal:
- The fence’s length and height
- The location of the fence
- The fence’s material
- The company you choose
- Whether the fence is mounted in cement or not
Hiring Professionals for the Job
Perhaps you’ve been staring at the rotting deck and fence in your yard for some time, wondering when you’ll have the time and energy to dive into the project. Removing these structures can be daunting, to say the least. But, with help from the experts, you’ll quickly realize that you could have taken care of these structures years ago. Hiring the right company is certainly worth your time and money. With little effort on your part, the deck and fence are finally removed, and your property is ready for the new.
Splitting the Job
For those who don’t mind getting their hands a little dirty, consider getting the job started yourself. Removing some of the bulkier structures of the deck, like the hand railing, deck boards, and stairs, can save you some time and money when working with the pros. However, be sure you are equipped with the tools and experience to do so. A job of this magnitude can potentially lead to safety risks, so proceed with caution.
