Deck & fence demolition in Johnstown

Liberty Junk Removal does deck and fence demolition in Johnstown and the rest of Northern Colorado. Text a photo to (970) 634-6969. What sets this apart from a regular haul is that the pile is still standing, with boards nailed or screwed to the joists and posts set in the ground, and all of it has to come apart before the first piece can go on the truck.

There's usually a project waiting on the other side. A new fence can't go in until the old one is out, and a patio needs the rotted deck cleared off the ground first. They work out of Johnstown, in Weld County, and take decks and fences down in the Northern Colorado towns on the service list, from a fence line in Longmont to a deck in Windsor.

Plenty of backyards have more than one thing on the way out. A hot tub still sitting on the deck is covered by hot tub removal, and a shed pushed up against the fence falls under shed removal. Get all of it into your photos and the yard can be quoted as a whole, so the price covers everything that's leaving. Tear-outs inside the house are grouped under demolition contractor too.

What goes on the truck

• Deck boards and railings
• Joists, beams and stair stringers
• Lattice skirting
• Wood fence pickets and panels
• Fence posts, rails and gates
• Chain-link mesh and steel posts
• Patio furniture left on the deck

These are the usual pieces on this kind of job, not the whole list.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: demolition and structures.

What's in the pile when an old deck or fence comes down?

Lumber, plus the metal that held it together. A deck breaks down into surface boards, joists and beams, with the stairs, railings and lattice skirting on top of that. What a fence leaves depends on the kind. Wood comes down as pickets or panels, rails, posts and the gate, while chain-link leaves wire mesh, a top rail and steel posts.

It makes an awkward load. Long boards with bent nails sticking out don't stack neatly, and a fence that runs the length of the yard turns into a lot more lumber once it's lying flat. Railings and stair stringers add odd shapes on top. The demolition and structures list shows more of what goes on the truck after a teardown.

Who calls to have an old deck or fence torn out?

Mostly homeowners. Landlords and property managers call too, usually to get a rental's yard in shape between tenants.

Payment is flexible. Liberty Junk Removal takes cash, checks, credit and debit cards, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Bigger companies, like a large property management company, can be billed by invoice.

How much does deck and fence removal cost?

It starts at $125. Above that, the price follows how much space the torn-out wood and metal fill on the truck, and loading, hauling and disposal are inside it.

A deck can hide a lot, so the quote depends on seeing all of it. Get the stairs and the space underneath. For a fence, walk the whole line and shoot each run, gate included.

Do you have to take the fence down or drag the boards to the curb yourself?

No. Liberty Junk Removal takes the deck or fence apart right where it was built and carries the pieces out of the backyard or side yard. You don't pull a single board, and nothing needs to be stacked at the curb. A deck usually sits against the house with stairs running down to the grass, and those stairs and railings come down with it.

Liberty Junk Removal answers your text or call, gives you the quote and puts the day on the calendar. From then on they keep in touch until they arrive. When the last post is out of the ground, they tell you it's done.

Where does the wood go after an old deck is torn out?

Boards that have gone gray and soft, and pickets that split years ago, are trash at this point, so they ride to the landfill. Metal goes a different way. The chain-link mesh, top rail and steel posts from a metal fence are scrap, and scrap metal gets recycled, which keeps that part of the job out of the landfill.

Anything someone could still use goes to donation first, either to Habitat for Humanity or to a thrift store. Junk that was stored under the deck, or patio furniture still sitting on top of it, goes by the same rules.

Can the leftover cans of deck stain go with the old boards?

Ask first. Deck stain and sealer count as chemicals, which carry an extra fee and need a question before the job. The half-used cans from the last coat can ride with the boards they were brushed onto, once that's settled in your text. Weed killer and bug spray kept under the deck follow the same rule. Paint is no problem. Gas, diesel, and medical or biohazard waste found anywhere on the property are turned down.
