Why Junk Doctors

Why Customers Choose Us

1

Teardown and Hauling in One Visit

We dismantle and load in the same job. No demo contractor followed by a separate hauler. One crew takes the deck apart systematically and loads everything as they go. The site is clear when they leave.

2

Posts and Footings Are a Separate Question

Deck posts are removed with the structure. Concrete footings or buried piers are a judgment call — some homeowners want them gone, others leave them for a future rebuild. Tell us your preference when you book and we'll price accordingly.

3

Ledger Removal and Wall Patching

If your deck is attached, removing the ledger board leaves an opening in the house's exterior. We remove the ledger and close it up temporarily. Proper exterior patching — siding, flashing, waterproofing — is a separate contractor. We don't leave the wall exposed.

4

Pressure-Treated Wood Disposal

Pressure-treated lumber requires specific disposal handling — it can't go to standard wood recyclers. We take it to facilities that handle treated wood disposal properly.

FAQ

Questions Answered.

In most North Carolina jurisdictions, demolishing a deck does not require a permit. Building a replacement deck typically does. Confirm with your local building department if you're unsure about your specific city or county.
We remove the deck posts. Concrete footings and buried piers are an optional add-on. Many homeowners keep them for a future rebuild — they're easier to reuse than dig again. If you want them removed, let us know when you book.
Electrical and gas connections must be disconnected by a licensed electrician or plumber before we start demo. Don't have active utilities running through a structure we're demolishing.
Yes. Trex, TimberTech, and similar composite systems come apart like wood decks. The process is the same — dismantle, load, haul. Composite material is disposed of at appropriate facilities.
A standard attached residential deck takes two to four hours. Larger decks, multi-level structures, and decks with railings on all sides take longer. We'll give you a realistic estimate when you describe the deck.
Yes. Pool decks and surrounds are removed the same way as any wood or composite structure. Nearby pool equipment and plumbing should be marked clearly so the crew knows what to work around.
