Common questions

I tore down my deck myself. Who can haul off the debris in San Antonio?

Klema Builders hauls off debris from do-it-yourself teardowns across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin: deck boards and joists, fence pickets and posts, shed panels, pergola beams, playset lumber and old hot tub pieces. The whole pile goes, and the ground where it sat is left raked. It is quoted fixed-price, line by line, after a free in-home consult, and if you want something new built where the old structure stood, we quote that too.

How should I get the pile ready for haul-away?

Stack the debris in one spot the crew can reach, keep nails and screws facing down or pulled, keep it off sprinkler heads and utility boxes, and tell us about anything heavy or unusual such as concrete footings, a hot tub shell or metal roofing. A photo of the pile with the quote request helps.

Is haul-away cheaper than a dumpster?

A dumpster sits in the driveway for days and you still load it yourself. With haul-away the crew loads everything, takes it off, and rakes the ground where the pile was. You get a fixed price in writing first, so you can compare it with a dumpster rental.

What else can you do once the old structure is gone?

Klema Builders builds decks, pergolas, covered patios, paver and flagstone patios, fences, and landscaping with sod, xeriscape and lighting. Many haul-away jobs turn into the next project, quoted fixed-price on the same visit.

Do I need a permit for debris haul-away in San Antonio?

No permit is needed to haul off debris from your own property. If you have not torn the structure down yet, see the removal pages: the City of San Antonio does not require a demolition permit for decks, fences, playground equipment or detached sheds under 300 square feet.

How long does debris haul-away take?

1 to 3 business days on site for most jobs, from the first board off to the last load hauled and the ground graded or raked. The written quote arrives within 3 to 5 business days of the free site visit, and the start date is set when you sign.

More questions (3)
Are concrete footings removed?

No. A standard Klema Builders removal takes down everything above ground and hauls it away; concrete footings, piers and pads stay where they are. Pulling concrete is a different service, handled separately. So is any siding, stucco or flashing repair where a structure was attached to the house.

Is haul-away included?

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

Can you build something new where it was?

Yes. Klema Builders builds decks, pergolas, covered patios, patios and pavers, fences and landscaping, so the removal and what comes next can be one quote with one crew. Popular next steps: build a new deck, new fence, landscaping.
