Before you book deck, patio & fence demolition
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Mark what stays
Tape or flag plants, sprinkler heads, lights and any boards or pavers you want to keep. A clear line between what comes out and what stays prevents mistakes during teardown.
Photograph the structure and the route
Take pictures of the whole structure, how it joins the house, and the path from the yard to the street. That helps the pro judge size, weight and access.
Check for permits and utilities
Call your local building office to ask if demolition needs a permit, and request a utility locate if the structure has footings. Put the answers in your booking so the pro does not have to guess.
Tell the pro what comes next
If you are rebuilding on the same spot, the pro can leave posts or footings that suit the new plan. If you are planting or paving, they can remove everything below grade.
Reach the neighbors early
A shared fence, or a deck near a property line, means a short conversation first. Written agreement avoids disputes and keeps the schedule intact.
Ask about the warranty
Workmanship cover is set by the pro and visible on their profile. Ask what it covers for leftover fasteners and for damage to anything that was supposed to stay.
Say where in San Carlos you are
Add your neighborhood, for example White Oaks, Howard Park, and Cordes, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
