The deck removal and hauling it away.
Though I will say Mother Nature has done a lot of work for whoever removes it. The previous owner never sealed it so it has been rotting away.
I know very much about the value of money and “how the world works”, and because I know the work involved in tearing down, cleaning up, and hauling off a medium sized deck I think $1500 is very fair if you want a quality job.Anonymous 5 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 7:57 pm The people charging $1500 for a medium size deck are hoping you're one of the posters here who doesn't have a clue as to the value of money, a job like tearing down a deck or frankly just how the world works.
I hate that phrase "doesn't know how the world works." It's as bad as my dad telling me I "don't live in the real world."Anonymous 5 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 7:57 pm The people charging $1500 for a medium size deck are hoping you're one of the posters here who doesn't have a clue as to the value of money, a job like tearing down a deck or frankly just how the world works.
None. I am not physically capable of tearing it down.newyearnewring wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:32 pm Just to tear it down? Do you know what kind of utilities are back there?
I don't know your area but, here, $300 for tear and haul is a fair price. $1500 is outrageous. Even so, there isn't anything for them to do which requires a lot of skill.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:36 pmNone.

I highly doubt if the $300 guy is going to haul the debris away. A small dumpster is likely more than that, or if he's going to take it somewhere to dump that's going to cost him money too. It sounds too low to do everything.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 4:18 pm I've had 2 people come out and quote me prices to tear down my deck. One guy said $300. Today another person said $1500!!! It's a medium sized deck. I don't think $1500 is a good price at all, I was thinking maybe they don't want to do it so they gave me an outrageous price. I have one more person coming out so I'll see what they say.
