Professional Deck & Patio Demolition in Los Alamitos, CA
Deck and patio demolition spans a wide range of complexity depending on what was built and how. A simple pressure-treated wood deck bolted to a ledger board is a straightforward teardown. A multi-level composite deck with built-in planters, a pergola overhead, and a poured concrete patio beneath it is a multi-phase project requiring sequenced disassembly, concrete breaking, and careful attention to the existing ledger attachment point on the structure — improper removal can damage exterior sheathing or allow water intrusion into the wall cavity.
Concrete patios add a dimension most homeowners underestimate: slab thickness, reinforcement, and sub-base conditions determine how quickly concrete breaks and how much material needs to be hauled. Reinforced slabs over four inches thick take longer per square foot and produce heavier debris loads. Pergolas and shade structures come down quickly but add volume to the load. Cost factors include total square footage, material mix (wood, composite, concrete, or a combination), access for equipment, and any tie-ins to the main structure that require patching.
C&S Demolition leaves your yard clear and ready for whatever comes next — whether that is a new deck, a landscape install, or a clean slate. We haul all debris off-site the same day, and our crew handles the sequencing that protects your home's exterior envelope from collateral damage during the teardown. The project range runs $800–$3,500 and most jobs complete in one to two days.

Deck & Patio Demolition in Los Alamitos: Local Knowledge
Los Alamitos occupies a small footprint at the Orange-LA County line, bordered by Seal Beach to the west and Long Beach to the north — which means C&S Demolition, based in Long Beach, can mobilize to Los Alamitos faster than virtually any other licensed contractor in the region. The city's older single-family homes along the Katella area and near the Rossmoor border were built in an era when detached garages, aging storage structures, and backyard concrete pads accumulated over decades of ownership, and many of those structures are now at the end of their useful life. Permits run through the City of Los Alamitos Building & Safety at (562) 431-3538.
C&S specializes in the types of selective and whole-structure demolition that Los Alamitos homeowners and investors routinely need: garage teardowns, interior selective demo for renovation projects, concrete removal, foundation breaking for rebuilds, and full residential clearances when a lot is being taken back to bare ground. We handle permit coordination and carry all required California licenses and insurance. Our proximity to Los Alamitos means competitive pricing on mobilization and same-week scheduling on many project types — call (562) 204-6335 to get a quote.
