Deck Demolition Services in Aurora, IL

A rotting deck isn't just ugly — it's a liability. Soft boards, rusted joist hangers, and wobbly railings can give way under weight and cause real injury. Sunny's Junk Removal provides professional deck demolition across Aurora, IL, safely dismantling your old deck and hauling every piece of debris away so you can start fresh.

We work on wood decks (pressure-treated pine, cedar, redwood), composite decks (Trex, TimberTech, Azek), and PVC decks. From 10x10 platforms to sprawling wraparound and multi-tier decks, we have the saws, pry bars, and manpower to take it down in a single day — cleanly, and without damaging your siding or yard.

Our Deck Demolition Process

1

Walkthrough & Quote

We measure the deck, check access, look at footings, and note anything attached (hot tubs, pergolas, built-in benches). You get a flat, written price — no hourly surprises.

2

Disassemble Top-Down

We pull railings first, then decking boards, then joists and beams. Posts come out last. Working top-down keeps the site stable and safe throughout the demo.

3

Clean Finish

Every board, nail, and screw gets hauled away. We sweep the area, fill any post holes, and leave your yard ready for a patio, new deck build, or grass.

Types of Decks We Demolish

  • Pressure-treated pine and cedar wood decks
  • Composite decks — Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon, Azek
  • PVC and vinyl decking systems
  • Elevated and multi-level decks with staircases
  • Wraparound and attached porch decks
  • Free-standing and floating decks
  • Decks with pergolas, arbors, or built-in seating

Deck Demolition FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does deck demolition cost in Aurora?

Most deck tear-downs run $700-2,500 based on square footage, height, material, and whether the footings are being dug out. We give you a flat, written quote before any work begins.

Do you detach the deck cleanly from the house?

Yes. We carefully remove the ledger board, patch any flashing points, and protect the siding so you can re-side or build a new deck without extra repair work.

Can you remove concrete footings and posts too?

Absolutely. We pull 4x4 and 6x6 posts and can dig out concrete footings when requested. Many homeowners prefer to leave footings if a new deck will sit on the same pattern — we can walk you through the best option.

Do you demo composite (Trex) decks?

Yes, we demo composite, PVC, and traditional wood decks including Trex, TimberTech, Azek, cedar, and pressure-treated pine. Composite boards are sorted and recycled where possible.

How long does a deck demolition take?

A typical 12x16 backyard deck comes down in 4-6 hours. Larger multi-level decks or ones with hot tubs, pergolas, or benches can take a full day.

Will the yard and siding be damaged?

We lay plywood paths across the lawn, protect landscaping, and use care detaching the ledger to prevent siding damage. Any small turf impact is raked smooth before we leave.
