Professional Fence & Wall Removal in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles: Local Knowledge
Los Angeles is one of the most complex permit jurisdictions in California, with all demolition projects processed through LADBS — the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety — via the e-Permit portal at ladbs.org. The city's vast inventory of pre-1980 structures across neighborhoods from Silver Lake and Echo Park to Mid-City, Koreatown, Boyle Heights, and deep into the San Fernando Valley means that asbestos and lead paint surveys are a standard prerequisite before demolition begins, not an afterthought. C&S Demolition is California-licensed and insured, and works on residential and commercial projects citywide. 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.
The scope of work C&S performs in Los Angeles spans interior selective demolition for major renovations, structural and load-bearing wall removal, commercial office and retail gut-outs, whole-house teardowns on infill lots, foundation and concrete removal, and ADU-related garage demolition as property owners take advantage of state density bonus programs. Each project type carries its own LADBS requirements. Your written bid states which permits the job needs and who pulls them; permit fees are the owner's unless the bid says otherwise.
