Professional Deck & Patio Demolition in Manhattan Beach, 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.
