Costs, timelines, and the removal process for old decks and patios — including footings and debris hauling — from a licensed, insured crew serving PA and the NYC metro.
How Much Does Deck or Patio Demolition Cost?
Deck and patio demolition typically costs $500 to $2,500, including debris removal. Size, height, materials (wood, composite, or concrete pavers), and footing removal all affect the price. A small ground-level deck is at the low end; a large elevated deck with concrete footings is higher.
Key Takeaways
- Deck and patio demolition usually runs $500–$2,500, with haul-away included
- Most decks and patios come down in 1–2 days
- Rotted, splintered, or wobbly decks are a safety hazard — clearing them protects your family and guests
- Footings and concrete pads can be removed for a clean slate
- All American Rubbish has handled deck and patio demolition across Pike County, PA and the NYC metro since 1993
What to Expect
We dismantle the deck or break up the patio, pull the footings if you want them gone, and haul every piece away — leaving level, open ground ready for a rebuild, landscaping, or a new outdoor space. An aging deck with soft boards or loose railings is a liability; replacing it starts with a clean, safe teardown.
Deck and patio work is one of the most common projects we pair with a full backyard reset — alongside pool removal and shed demolition — all handled by one licensed crew through our demolition specialist services.
Debris and Cleanup
Old decking, railings, and concrete are sorted, recycled where possible, and hauled away as part of our standard debris and rubbish cleanup — no leftover pile for you to deal with.
Serving the Lake Region and NYC Metro
We remove decks and patios throughout Wayne and Pike County — including Tafton, Hawley, and Lake Ariel — and across the NYC metro. Lakefront and vacation properties are a specialty.
