Old, rotted, or storm-damaged decks, fences, pergolas, and sheds taken down and removed, including the post footings, common in our wet climate where wood structures fail early.
Bellingham's wet climate is hard on wood. Decks go soft, fence posts rot at the ground line, and sheds lean and leak long before they should. We take down failing decks, fences, pergolas, and sheds, pull the post footings, and haul everything off, so you are not left with a pile of rotted lumber and a yard full of nails. If you are clearing the spot to rebuild, we can backfill and grade the post holes so the ground is ready.
Most residential decks and fence runs are a one-day job, and the price depends on size, height, and how the footings were set. Concrete-set posts take more work to pull than driven posts. We give you a flat quote after we look, and the haul-away and footing removal are part of it, not an add-on.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does deck or fence removal cost in Bellingham?
A typical residential deck or fence run costs $600 to $3,500 to remove in Bellingham, depending on size, height, and how the posts were set. Concrete-set footings take more work than driven posts. Haul-away and footing removal are included in the quote.
Do you remove the concrete post footings too?
Yes. We pull the post footings, including concrete-set ones, so you do not hit them later when you rebuild or replant. We can backfill and grade the holes on request.
My deck looks okay on top but feels soft. Can you check it?
Yes. In our wet climate decks often rot where the framing meets the ground or the house, even when the surface boards look fine. We check the structure and footings as part of the free walkthrough.
