Deck Demolition in Hazel Park

Expert Deck Demolition for Hazel Park Properties

Hazel Park's densely-packed neighborhoods around Norwood Avenue and Green Street contain predominantly 1950s-1970s ranch and colonial homes with attached or freestanding decks that accumulate serious structural damage from Michigan's harsh winters. Most Hazel Park decks built before 2005 lack proper flashing, resulting in water intrusion into ledger boards and band joists-a code violation that many HOA communities, particularly in the Pinewood subdivision, now require homeowners to address. Deck demolition in Hazel Park typically requires a residential building permit from the city (approximately $75-150 for demo work), and our team handles the complete permit application process. We've demolished over 200 decks across Hazel Park since 2015, making us the area's most experienced demolition contractor.

Our complete Hazel Park deck demolition process takes 1-3 business days depending on deck size and complexity, with most residential decks (12x16 feet to 20x20 feet) finished in 48 hours. We use pneumatic demolition equipment, reciprocating saws, and pry bars to systematically dismantle pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and steel support structures, then haul 100% of debris to licensed Michigan disposal facilities-diverting wood waste to recycling centers when possible. Hazel Park homeowners near Nine Mile Road frequently choose deck demolition before spring because winter damage worsens through thaw cycles; we typically complete 3-4 Hazel Park demos weekly during March-May. Post-demolition, we grade and compact the site, remove concrete footings to 12 inches below grade, and leave your yard ready for new construction or landscaping.

Recent Project

Recent Deck Demolition Project in Hazel Park, Michigan

We recently completed a full demolition of a 18x16 foot pressure-treated deck in the Pinewood subdivision near Woodlawn Avenue for a homeowner whose 1978-built ranch home showed severe ledger board rot and failing concrete footings. The deck contained approximately 2,400 board feet of deteriorated lumber and four concrete piers set only 8 inches below grade (non-compliant with current Michigan frost line standards). Our crew completed full structural removal, footer extraction to proper 48-inch depth, site grading, and cleanup in 2.5 days; the city inspection passed immediately, and the homeowner is now planning a new composite deck for spring.
