A 12x12 pergola removal in San Antonio starts at $3,750, haul-away and yard grading included. That covers taking down a 12 ft by 12 ft (144 sq ft) wood pergola, hauling every post, beam and rafter away, and leaving the ground graded or raked. Larger, attached or aluminum pergolas are quoted fixed-price after a free site visit, with the written quote in 3 to 5 business days. The takedown itself takes 1 to 3 business days. ### Should I repair or remove a rotten pergola? Look at the posts first. Rot where a post meets the ground or the concrete, soft or split beams, rafters sagging between beams, and termite tunnels in the wood mean the structure is failing, and a pergola that is failing at the posts is not worth repairing. A pergola that is only gray or peeling can usually be cleaned and stained. We tell you which one you have at the free site visit. ### Can you remove a pergola attached to the house? Yes. An attached pergola is taken down from the outside in, and the ledger board where it met the house comes off last. Siding, stucco or flashing repair on that wall is handled separately and is not part of the removal price, so we point out what the wall will need at the site visit, before you sign anything. ### Can you replace my old pergola with a new one? Yes. Klema Builders builds cedar, aluminum, louvered and bioclimatic pergolas, so the old one can come down and the new one can go up with one crew and one quote, often on the same footprint. ### Do I need a permit for pergola removal in San Antonio? The City of San Antonio demolition bulletin does not require a permit for detached accessory structures under 300 square feet, and a 12x12 pergola is 144 square feet. A pergola attached to the house counts as partial demolition, which the city handles under a Residential Repair permit when one is needed, and historic or conservation districts can have their own review. We confirm what your address needs before work starts. Source: City of San Antonio Information Bulletin 106, Demolition and Deconstruction (https://docsonline.sanantonio.gov/FileUploads/dsd/IB106.pdf). ### How long does pergola removal 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. ### 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 pergola, covered patio instead, landscape the space. 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. ## Related - [Build a new pergola](https://klemabuilders.com/pergolas) - [Covered patio instead](https://klemabuilders.com/covered-patios) - [Landscape the space](https://klemabuilders.com/landscaping) - [All removal services](https://klemabuilders.com/removal) ## Contact - Phone: (210) 974-1420 (Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM) - Email: hello@klemabuilders.com - Based in: San Antonio, TX - Service area: San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin - Free in-home consult, fixed-price quote line by line within 3 to 5 business days. - Get a quote: https://klemabuilders.com/get-quote
