Fence removal in Colorado Springs

Justin handles fence removal across Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region. He takes down old wood fences and loose fence panels, then hauls the boards and debris away. Call or text (719) 246-8422 for a free quote after an onsite look. The difference with this job is that the fence is usually still standing when Justin gets there. He does the teardown himself, and the boards and debris get loaded the same day the fence comes down.

Some people just have a stack of loose panels behind the shed from a project that stalled. Justin takes that too. Nothing has to be dragged to the curb first. He carries the boards out from wherever the fence stands, back corner of the yard included. A stalled project usually leaves a mix behind. That might be a few panels, an old gate, the posts that already came out and a bucket of screws. All of it goes on the same load, and the price is still set by how much room it takes on the truck.

If the old wood deck by the fence is going too, Justin also handles deck removal for the same yard. The price is one number for the whole job, and Justin gives it after he looks at the fence in person, so it matches the real length of the run. He is based in Colorado Springs and takes fence jobs in Monument, Falcon, Peyton, Fountain and the rest of the towns on his route.

The full list of what goes on the truck, and what doesn't.

What is in the pile when a fence comes down

A fence removal pile is mostly wood. Gray pickets, split rails, the posts that held it up and a gate that sagged years ago. Mixed in are hinges, latches and the nails and screws from every board. Sometimes a post comes up with a chunk of concrete still stuck to the bottom.

That is the difference with a fence. A garage clean out or a single item pickup starts with things that are already loose. Here the fence is still in the ground. Justin takes it down section by section, stacks the boards and loads them. Most calls come from a homeowner clearing the line before a new fence goes in, or a landlord with a leaning run behind a rental.

It also differs from yard waste removal. Branches and brush are already cut by the time Justin loads them, while a fence still has to be unscrewed and pried apart before anything goes on the truck.

Where old fence boards and posts end up

Justin sorts a fence load before it goes anywhere. Panels or a gate still solid enough to use go to donation first. Steel posts, hinges, latches and other metal go to a Colorado Springs metal recycler. Concrete that came up on the posts goes to a recycling center. Boards that are rotted through or full of nails are real trash. Those go to East Landfill or Midway Landfill, or through the El Paso County transfer station.

Sorting matters here because a fence load is mixed. Justin decides where each piece goes, so nothing has to be sorted ahead of his visit. If there is also a pile of old brick or broken concrete sitting in the yard, concrete and brick removal covers that part.

What a fence removal costs

Every fence job starts at a $225 minimum. Above that, Justin gives one number for the whole job, and it is set by how much room the load takes on the truck. A short run of panels takes less room than a long back fence with a gate and posts. Tall privacy panels take up more of the truck than a short picket fence along a flower bed, even when the length is the same. Loading, hauling and disposal are inside that number. Dump fees are never billed on a separate line, and the price does not change once the boards are loaded.

A fence load has no add-ons. Justin gives one number after walking the fence line, and it covers the posts, the gate and the hardware.

How Justin takes the fence apart and loads it

Justin shows up inside a two-hour arrival window and walks the fence line first. Then he works one section at a time. He pulls the pickets, then the rails, and stacks the boards flat for the ride. He carries everything out through the gate or around the side of the house. Tight side yards and a narrow gate slow the carry, but the boards still come out the way the fence went in, one piece at a time.

If the fence is shared with a neighbor, sort out with them which side stays before the teardown day. Rental properties work the same way as a house, and a property manager can book the job. Call or text (719) 246-8422.

What stays off the truck on a fence job

A fence line collects things. The grill's propane tank leans on it, and a gas can sits by the mower. Justin will not take propane tanks or fuel, and he will not take asbestos or medical or biohazard waste. Hazardous waste stays off the truck. If any of that is along the fence, set it aside ahead of the visit so the teardown can keep moving.

Everything that actually came off the fence goes on the truck. That covers the rusty hinges and the bent nails in the grass, plus the panel that fell over a while back and has been sitting in the weeds since. Leftover fence stain in a can is something to mention on the call, so Justin can say whether it goes.

How the price works

Call or text (719) 246-8422. Justin looks at how much room it takes on the truck and gives you one number for the whole job. The number doesn't change once it's loaded. Jobs start at $225. The only add-ons: tire +$10, anything with freon +$40, mattress or box spring +$40. More on how pricing works.
