Deck Demolition & Removal in Rexburg, ID

That old deck has seen better days. The boards are warped, the railing is loose, and you’re not sure it’s safe to walk on anymore. Southeastern Idaho weather — the freezing winters, the spring thaw, the summer sun — takes a serious toll on outdoor wood structures. When your deck is past the point of repair, ShapeUpIdaho provides professional deck demolition and removal throughout Rexburg and the surrounding area.

When Is It Time to Tear Down a Deck?

Not every worn deck needs to be demolished, but here are clear signs it’s time:

• Structural rot — When the support posts, joists, or ledger board are soft and spongy, the deck’s structural integrity is compromised. No amount of new deck boards will fix a rotten frame.
• Leaning or shifting — If the deck is pulling away from the house or leaning to one side, the footings or framing have failed.
• Extensive board damage — A few bad boards can be replaced. When most of the surface is cracked, splintered, warped, or covered in mold, it’s cheaper to tear it down and start fresh.
• Code violations — Older decks in Rexburg may not meet current building codes, especially regarding railing height, stair dimensions, and structural connections. If you’re selling your home or getting an inspection, a non-compliant deck is a problem.
• You want something different — Maybe the old deck is in the wrong spot, the wrong size, or you want to convert the space to a patio or lawn. Demolition is the first step.

What Our Deck Demolition Includes

We don’t just rip boards off and call it a day. Our deck demolition service is thorough:

Surface Decking and Railings

We remove all deck boards, railing posts, balusters, and cap rails. Whether your deck is pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite material, we take it all apart and load it up.

Framing and Structure

The joists, beams, ledger board, and support posts all come out. We disconnect the deck from the house carefully to avoid damaging your siding.

Stairs and Landings

Deck stairs, stringers, and any intermediate landings are demolished and removed as part of the job.

Footings (Optional)

If you want the concrete footings dug out, we can do that. We backfill the holes and level the area when we’re done. If you’re building a new deck and the old footings are in the right spots, you may be able to leave them — we’ll advise based on what we see.

Hardware and Fasteners

All nails, screws, bolts, joist hangers, and other hardware get collected during demolition. We don’t leave a field of nails in your yard.

Deck demolition is dangerous work. You’re dealing with heavy lumber, rusty nails, elevated structures, and sometimes unstable framing. Our crew has the experience and protective equipment to do it safely. We also carry liability insurance, so your property is protected.

Complete Cleanup

When we’re done, the deck is gone and the area is clean. No pile of lumber in the yard. No nails in the grass. We rake the area, collect all debris, and leave your property looking like the deck was never there.
