What happens here

Once the deck boards are removed, the exposed joists, support beams, and any remaining posts are systematically dismantled. Workers are seen using pry bars and hammers to break down the remaining wooden framework. Larger sections are broken apart and removed from the site.

Goal: Remove the main structural components of the deck

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Driving pry bars, removing nails
  • Pry bar — Separating joists, beams, and posts
  • Reciprocating saw — Cutting stubborn or large wooden members for easier removal
