What's included

A few decisions to make at quote

Footings: pull or leave?

Most decks have 4 to 12 concrete pier footings, 8 to 12 inches in diameter, set 24 to 36 inches deep. We pull them by default. If you're rebuilding a deck on the exact same footprint with the same footing layout, ask us to leave them — that saves $200 to $400. Otherwise, pulling them is the right call.

Composite board salvage

Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, and similar composite boards in good shape can sometimes be salvaged through the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Rowlett or local building-material reuse centers. We coordinate the drop-off when you want it. If boards are sun-faded or screw-stripped, they go to disposal.

Pressure-treated wood disposal

Pressure-treated lumber contains preservatives (CCA, ACQ, or copper azole depending on age) that are restricted from regular landfills. We haul it to licensed construction-and-demolition disposal — never to a household waste site or burn pit. That's a Texas regulation, not optional.

FAQs about deck removal in Rockwall

How much does deck removal cost in Rockwall, TX?

Deck removal in Rockwall, TX runs $1,100 to $4,500. A standard 200 sq ft ground-level wood deck starts at $1,100. A 400 sq ft elevated deck with stairs averages $1,800 to $2,400. Composite decks add 15 to 25%.

Do you remove the footings too?

Yes, by default. Most decks have 4 to 12 concrete pier footings. Pulling them prevents future settling and lets you replant or pour fresh. Ask us to leave them only if you're rebuilding on the exact same footprint.

Can you recycle composite or treated wood?

Composite boards in good condition may be salvageable through local reuse centers. Pressure-treated wood goes to licensed C&D disposal — never a regular landfill, because the chemicals are restricted in Texas.

Do I need a permit to demolish a deck in Rockwall?

Decks attached to a primary structure usually require a city demolition permit. Free-standing platform decks often do not. We confirm with the city for your property and pull the permit when required.

How long does deck removal take?

Most decks come down in 4 to 8 hours. Larger elevated decks with stairs and railings take a full day. Footing extraction adds 1 to 2 hours.
