Professional Fence & Wall Removal in El Monte, CA
Fence and wall removal spans a wide spectrum — from pulling out a rotted wood privacy fence with post-puller equipment to demolishing a six-foot masonry block wall with a skid steer or hydraulic breaker. The distinction matters because the equipment, labor, and disposal costs are different by a factor of three or four. C&S Demolition handles the full range: wood privacy fences, vinyl panel systems, chain-link with concrete footings, wrought iron, and masonry or concrete block walls including low-profile retaining walls that have outlived their usefulness or failed structurally.
Retaining wall removal in particular carries structural implications that homeowners frequently underestimate. A failing retaining wall has often been holding back soil load for years, and removing it without understanding the slope geometry and soil conditions can cause a rapid slope failure. If a wall is holding back soil, the owner's engineer decides how the grade is supported; C&S's bid covers the demolition, and shoring or slope support is not included.
Post footing removal is the most labor-intensive part of most fence removals: concrete footings for wooden or iron fence posts can run 24–36 inches deep, and each one needs to be excavated and removed to allow the new fence contractor to set new posts cleanly. Cost depends on fence length, material type, footing depth, and whether a masonry wall is involved. C&S gives a written lump-sum bid after seeing plans or photos. Most complete the same day. C&S hauls all debris and leaves the line clean and ready for your new fence installation.

Fence & Wall Removal in El Monte: Local Knowledge
El Monte is a dense, older San Gabriel Valley city with a property inventory that leans heavily pre-1980 — across Downtown El Monte, the Norwood area, and the Mountain View district, structures built in that era routinely contain asbestos in textured surfaces, floor tile, and pipe insulation, along with lead-based paint in original finishes. Hazardous material assessment is a mandatory first step on every El Monte project. C&S coordinates with the owner's or GC's licensed abatement contractor and the required survey and SCAQMD Rule 1403 notice; C&S does not perform abatement. Permits are processed through the City of El Monte Building & Safety at (626) 580-2086.
El Monte's mix of industrial parcels and dense residential streets creates demand across the full range of demolition services. C&S handles commercial and light-industrial interior gut-outs and tenant improvement demolition, selective structural demolition for property conversion, whole-house residential teardowns, detached structure removal, and concrete and foundation breaking. The South El Monte border area and properties near the industrial corridors sometimes present combined residential-commercial demolition scope — the kind of mixed-use project where having a licensed, insured contractor who pulls permits and manages the full process provides real value. Call us at (562) 204-6335.
