Deck & Patio Demolition Cost in Southern California

Deck vs Patio Demolition Costs

Wood deck demolition: $800–$2,500 depending on square footage, height, and framing complexity. Concrete patio removal: $1,000–$3,000 depending on thickness and reinforcement. Pergola or patio cover teardown: $600–$2,000. Combination deck + concrete: $2,000–$4,000+.

All pricing includes debris removal, haul-away, and broom-clean site.

When to Demo a Deck or Patio

Common reasons to remove a deck or patio in Southern California include rot or structural failure, compliance with HOA requirements, reconfiguring the backyard, adding landscaping or a pool, or replacing an aging structure. Older wood decks in coastal cities often succumb to termite damage and moisture rot faster than inland decks.

Concrete Patio Demo: What You Need to Know

Concrete patios range from simple 4-inch slabs to thick stamped concrete with rebar. The difference matters for pricing — plain concrete is $3–$5/sq ft; stamped or reinforced concrete runs $5–$8/sq ft. Access also matters: tight side yards require hand tools and take longer.

We recycle concrete debris — it doesn't go to a landfill.
