Professional Deck & Patio Demolition in Malibu, 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 Malibu: Local Knowledge
Demolition work in Malibu demands a higher degree of pre-planning than almost anywhere else in Los Angeles County. The city sits in a very high fire hazard severity zone, which means every demolition project — from a hillside structure teardown to a foundation removal along Pacific Coast Highway — requires fire department clearance before work begins. On top of that, Malibu Colony, Point Dume, Latigo Canyon, and nearly every coastal-adjacent parcel fall within the California Coastal Commission's jurisdiction, adding a second layer of review that can extend permit timelines significantly. The City of Malibu Building & Safety at (310) 456-2489 coordinates both processes, and working with a contractor unfamiliar with dual-agency permitting often causes costly delays.
C&S Demolition serves Malibu as a California-licensed and insured contractor (Lic. #1126325), experienced with the structural and commercial demolition scope that requires a credentialed team: whole-house teardowns on steep coastal lots, selective interior demo in older PCH-corridor structures, and commercial or mixed-use demolition ahead of renovation. We coordinate directly with the city and relevant agencies on permit handling so owners and developers don't have to navigate that process alone. Projects here require advance scheduling from our Long Beach base — reach out at (562) 204-6335 to plan accordingly.
