Fence removal in Pasadena

Precise Junk Removal does fence removal in Pasadena and across the San Gabriel Valley, and pulls the old run out of the yard. Panels, posts, rails and the gate all go on the truck. Text a photo to (626) 590-3118. A fence is different from the rest of the hauling because of the ground it stands in. Panels come off fast. Then every post is a hole with a concrete footing in it.

The line itself is the careful part. A fence between two yards is the neighbor's business too, so settle that first, then the panels can come off. Whatever the person who called points at comes out, and sorting out where a boundary sits is not part of the job. Where the fencing is clearly inside one property, a side yard run or a dog pen behind the garage, there's nobody else to ask and the job moves straight through. On a shared line, one phone call to the neighbor saves a lot of trouble on a Saturday morning.

The price starts with a photo. Stand back far enough to get the whole run in frame, from the first post to the last, and send it. Pricing comes off that, one number for the job, with a $50 minimum underneath it. Say in the text whether the posts and footings are coming out or staying, because that changes the load more than the panels do. If the old deck is going at the same time, hauling off a deck is the same kind of work and the two can be looked at together.

What's in a fence pile, and who calls about one

A fence pile is mostly long, heavy pieces. Wood panels, 4x4 posts, top rails, a sagging gate, rolled up chain link, broken lattice, vinyl sections that went brittle in the sun. The weight sits in the posts. One that was set in concrete comes up with a lump of footing on the end of it, and twenty of those add up faster than the panels ever will.

Taking a structure down in pieces is its own kind of work, closer to light demolition than to carrying a couch out of a living room. Some of these fences rotted at the base. Some went over in a wind. Plenty of the calls come in with a new fence crew already booked, and a landlord clearing a line between tenants calls too. Everybody wants the old run gone and the ground ready for what comes next.

How the run comes out

Work starts at one end and follows the line in order. Panels and rails come off and get stacked near the shortest way out, then the posts get handled one at a time. The path out matters more than the pile does. A side yard that narrows to 3 feet, or a flight of steps up from a lower lawn, decides how long the carry is, so get it in the photo.

At a rental or a condo building, the gate access and a spot for the truck get squared with the property manager ahead of the day, since the yard sits open while the run is down. If a new fence crew is coming in behind, the pile stays off the footprint and the dirt line stays clear, so they're not working around it.

What taking a fence out costs

The number starts at a $50 minimum and comes off the photo you send. One price covers the job, and what sets it is how much room the load takes on the truck. Fencing is awkward that way. Panels stack flat and take almost nothing, while posts with footings on them won't stack at all and eat room fast.

Two add-ons land on this kind of job. Stairs are +$50 each, so a yard you only reach by a staircase counts as one. A steep slope is +$50 and can run higher depending on how hard the carry turns out to be, and that comes back with the rest of the number off the photo. Cash, a check or an online payment all work. The breakdown of what junk removal costs around Pasadena covers the same math on other loads.

Where the old fence goes

The crew sorts a load instead of running all of it to one place. If something out of the yard still has life in it, a gate that works or sections that came out whole, it goes to a donation center. Most of what's left is material, and about 75 percent of what they pick up gets recycled. The owner's own line for it is "Recycling is his love language." Fencing suits that, because a run of it is usually one or two materials with little else mixed in.

What is honestly trash goes to the landfill last. If you want to know where a particular load ended up, ask the crew while they're standing in the yard, because they're the ones driving it there.

Fence lines across the San Gabriel Valley

Pasadena is the team's base, and the fence work runs out across the whole San Gabriel Valley. A fence line in Altadena, San Marino or Arcadia is the same job to them, and Alhambra, Temple City and Duarte turn up on these jobs as often as the towns closer in. The full list of towns is on one page.

Most of these fences have somebody else's yard on the far side, which is why the neighbor question comes up on nearly every one. And plenty of lots don't sit level with the street, so the panels and posts travel up to the truck instead of down to it. Stairs are +$50 each and a steep slope is +$50 on a yard like that.
