Signs You Need Deck Removal in Allentown, PA
Before you call about deck removal in Allentown, look under the deck, not just on top.
- Soft or spongy boards near the house or stairs
- Dark, crumbly or split joists
- Posts gone soft at the ground
- Railings or stairs that move
- Rust streaks from nails and hangers
- Water stains on the siding where the deck attaches
One sign may be a repair. Three or four means the wood is done. If the frame is solid and only a few boards are bad, replace the boards instead.

Licensed Deck Demolition in Allentown, PA
Taking a deck off a house takes more than a hauler. Most decks are bolted to the house through the ledger, stand on posts set in concrete, and have stairs tied into both. That makes it demolition.
Pry the ledger off the wrong way and you can split siding or leave open bolt holes for water to find. The deck is gone, and now there is a repair.
Our owner, John Santiago, is a licensed demolition contractor in Pennsylvania, license T001926, with close to 18 years framing in the New York City carpenter’s union. He knows how a ledger goes on, and how to get it off without hurting the wall.
Deck Footing Removal in Allentown, PA
Every post sits on a concrete footing. Pull them or leave them, but decide before the estimate. Concrete is priced by weight, so footings can cost more to dispose of than the lumber.
While we’re there, we can also take a stoop, walkway sections, a patio slab, retaining wall block, old shed footings, or broken concrete piled in the yard.
Heavy is fine with us. Lumber, hardware and concrete all go to Revolution Recovery for recycling. Anything still usable goes to Goodwill and area churches.

Allentown, PA Deck Removal FAQ
Will taking the deck off damage my house?
Taking the deck off the house is the careful part of the job, and John runs every deck job that has stairs. Earl's review above says how it went at his house: no damage.
Do you take the concrete footings?
Yes. Tell us before the estimate, because the weight changes the price.
How long does deck removal take?
Most decks are gone in one visit. Height, stairs and a long carry add time.
Can you take the hot tub too?
Yes. Hot tubs are a regular job for us, and one sitting on the deck can go in the same visit.
What about everything stored under the deck?
It can go too. Old bikes, toys and leftover lumber all leave with the deck. It does add to the load.
Can I tear it down myself and have you haul it?
Yes. Once it's in pieces, that's construction debris removal, and it costs less.
