FAQ

Light Demolition

 FAQs

What counts as "light" demolition?

Light demolition covers anything our crew can tear down with hand tools and basic equipment — decks, sheds, fences, hot tubs, drywall, cabinets, and similar structures. We don't do full building demolition or anything requiring heavy machinery.

Do you handle the debris removal too?

Yes — that's the Donkey Dumpster difference. We demolish the structure and haul away all the debris in one trip. No need to hire a separate hauling company.

How much does deck demolition cost?

Most deck teardowns range from $500–$1,500 depending on size, height, and materials. Heavy construction debris may affect the price. We provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact cost before we start.

Can you remove a concrete slab?

We can handle small to medium concrete slabs, patios, and sidewalk sections. For large-scale concrete removal, we can provide a dumpster for you to load or refer you to a heavy equipment contractor.

Is my property protected during demolition?

Absolutely. We carry $2M in insurance and our crew takes precautions to protect surrounding landscaping, siding, and structures during every teardown.

Also Need a Dumpster or Bigger Project Help?

If your project is ongoing or you want a dumpster delivered for a renovation or major cleanup, you may be a better fit for dumpster rental (with optional free loading labor). If you want everything gone quickly in one visit, our junk removal pillar page is the best place to start.
