## Questions and answers

### Who removes old decks and pergolas in San Antonio?

Klema Builders removes old decks, pergolas, patio covers, fences, sheds, hot tubs and playsets across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. A 12x12 pergola removal in San Antonio starts at $3,750, haul-away and yard grading included. Every takedown takes 1 to 3 business days, and everything that comes down is hauled away with the yard left graded or raked. Homeowners who already tore a structure down can book haul-away only. Because Klema Builders also builds decks, pergolas, patios, fences and landscaping, the same crew can build what goes in its place.

### How much does it cost to remove a deck or pergola in San Antonio?

A 12x12 pergola removal in San Antonio starts at $3,750, haul-away and yard grading included. That is a 12 ft by 12 ft (144 sq ft) wood pergola taken down, hauled away and the ground graded or raked. Decks, larger or attached pergolas, patio covers, fences, sheds, hot tubs and playsets are quoted fixed-price after a free site visit, with the written quote in 3 to 5 business days. The price you sign is the total you pay.

### How long does a removal take?

1 to 3 business days on site for decks, pergolas, patio covers, fences, sheds, hot tubs and playsets, from the first board off to the last load hauled and the yard graded or raked.

### Do I need a permit to tear down a deck, shed or pergola in San Antonio?

Usually not. The City of San Antonio demolition bulletin (IB 106) does not require a demolition permit for fences, playground equipment, above-ground pools, decks, or detached sheds and similar accessory structures under 300 square feet. Removing something attached to the house counts as partial demolition under a Residential Repair permit, and historic or conservation districts can have their own review. Hill Country and Austin-area cities set their own rules. We check what your address needs before work starts.

### I already tore it down. Can you just haul it away?

Yes. Haul-away only is its own service: we load and haul off the whole pile from a do-it-yourself teardown and rake the ground where it sat. See the debris haul-away page for how to get the pile ready.

### Is haul-away included in every removal?

Yes. Every Klema Builders removal includes hauling away everything that comes down and leaving the yard graded or raked. There is no dumpster for you to rent or load.

### Are concrete footings and house repairs included?

No. A standard removal takes down everything above ground, hauls it away and grades or rakes the yard. Concrete footings, piers and pads stay, and siding, stucco or flashing repair where a structure was attached to the house is handled separately. We point out both at the free site visit, before you sign.

### Why hire a builder to take a structure down?

A crew that builds decks, pergolas and patio covers knows how they were put together, where they tie into the house, and what the yard needs afterward. And when the old structure is gone, the same company can build the new deck, patio, pergola, fence or landscape in its place on one quote.

Every Klema Builders project comes with pass-through manufacturer warranties (Trex up to 50 years, TimberTech up to 50, Fiberon up to 30, Azenco up to 25) registered in the homeowner's name at the walk-through.
