What Our Customers Say

Our old fence was leaning into the neighbor's yard. They gave us a clear written quote, showed up on the day they said, and the new cedar fence went up in two days. They even raked up the sawdust.
Megan R.
Cedar fence replacement
From the first visit to the final walk-through they kept us in the loop. The deck is solid, the railing is beautiful and we're out there every night.
Jen L.
New composite deck
Three posts snapped in the windstorm. They came out fast, set new posts in concrete and saved the panels instead of pushing a whole new fence. Honest people.

What Old Fence Removal Involves

We tear out old fences, pull the posts and the concrete footings, and haul it all away, along with old decks, lumber piles and yard junk. Serving Portland, Gresham, Clackamas and surrounding communities.

Taking down an old fence looks easy until you get to the posts. Most wood fences in the Portland area have posts set in concrete, and even when the wood has rotted off at the ground, the concrete plug is still down there. Fence removal done right means pulling the posts and their footings, not just snapping them off, so the next fence can go in the same line and the lawn can grow back.

We take the fence down in sections, pull nails and hardware where needed, and dig or jack out the posts and concrete. Then we load it all and haul it away. Old wood, wire, chain link, metal posts and concrete each go to the right place for disposal or recycling. We fill the post holes so nobody steps in one.

We also haul away the other things that pile up around a yard: an old deck we've torn out, a broken-down shed, leftover lumber, old fence panels or general yard junk. If you're replacing the fence, fence removal can be bundled into the same written estimate so the old one comes out and the new one goes in on one schedule.

What Affects the Cost of Fence and Junk Removal

A short run of panels and a long fence with deep concrete footings are very different jobs. These are the factors.

  • Length of fence

    More fence means more panels, posts and loads.

  • Post footings

    Posts set in large concrete plugs take much longer to pull.

  • Material

    Wood, chain link, wire and metal are handled and disposed of differently.

  • Access

    Tight side yards, slopes and long carries add labor.

  • Volume of junk

    Extra debris, sheds and old decks add loads.

  • Disposal

    Concrete and mixed debris have their own disposal costs.

Fence Removal Questions

Do you remove the concrete around the posts?
Yes. We pull the posts and their concrete footings and fill the holes, unless you ask us to cut them below ground.
Do you haul everything away?
Yes. Wood, wire, metal and concrete are loaded and taken away. We leave the yard raked clean.
Can you remove a fence on a shared property line?
We can, once both neighbors agree. It's best to talk with your neighbor before the fence comes down.
Do you take other junk too?
Yes. Old decks, sheds, lumber piles and yard debris can be added to the same job.
Should I remove the old fence before getting a new one?
No need. We can remove the old fence and build the new one on one schedule and one estimate.
