Fence Removal in Stamford, CT

On lots this dense, half the fences touch a property line. We pull them clean — after you and the neighbor agree whose fence it is.

In Stamford, this work runs from North Stamford out to Glenbrook and Shippan.

Fence removal is the rare demolition you can price from your own pacing — the rate follows the linear foot, so walking the line gets you close before you ever call. What moves a quote above its floor is visible at the walkthrough: concrete-set posts that fight extraction, vines woven through the fabric, a line the truck can't park near. Chain link mostly leaves as scrap metal, the cheapest exit in the business; wood and vinyl haul as tonnage to licensed transfer stations. Whatever the mix, the total goes in writing with disposal inside it, and the number you sign is the number you pay.

How the job goes

Panels and rails first, then posts — pulled where they'll pull, cut at grade and disclosed where they won't.

What we take

Wood, vinyl, and chain-link runs, gates and hardware included; poured curbing under a run is clean-fill work we'll point you to instead.

Where Stamford’s debris actually goes

Stamford doesn’t publish a residential C&D route we could verify. On our jobs it’s not your problem: the debris rides out in our own cans to a licensed private facility, weighed and billed at our posted rates.

What it costs

Fence pricing runs by the footage and the material, partial runs welcome.

Routing around the Merritt

Every Fairfield County dispatch starts with the same routing fact: the Merritt Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles, so our trucks take I-95 along the coast or Route 7 and Route 8 inland. It's built into how we schedule the county — your job, our routing problem — and the drive runs roughly 30–75 minutes from our Stamford and West Haven yards depending on your corner of the county.

Fence lines here are back-of-lot work on tight streets, so the truck usually stages in the driveway or at the curb while the crew works the line on foot. Pulled posts, rolled fabric, and stacked panels all carry out to the truck — a short walk on most lots, measured at the walkthrough where it isn't.

Fence Removal in Stamford — questions we actually get

Where does an old fence end up?
Chain-link is the honest recycling story — fabric, rails, and posts all go out as scrap metal. Vinyl goes as bulky waste; there's no meaningful recycling stream for weathered PVC fence. Old wood stockade is C&D, and pressure-treated posts follow the same no-burn rule as deck lumber.
Wood versus chain-link versus vinyl — which is harder?
Chain-link is fastest — fabric rolls up, rails unbolt. Vinyl comes apart clean but bulks up the load. Old wood stockade is the heaviest and the most likely to fight, especially where posts have rotted at grade and the run is leaning.
Is there anything you won't take with the fence?
Dirt and concrete beyond what rides out on a pulled post. If a run has poured curb or footing wall under it, that's clean-fill territory and we'll point you at the right kind of hauler for it.
Can you time the removal with my new fence install?
That's the normal way it goes — old fence out a day or two before the installer arrives, so the yard isn't open any longer than it has to be. Give us the install date and we'll work backward from it. If you've got dogs, say so at booking and we'll talk through the gap window honestly.
Anything I should do before the crew gets there?
Walk the line once. Flag anything buried along it — irrigation heads, buried dog-fence wire, landscape lighting runs — because a post plug coming up doesn't know the difference between dirt and your sprinkler main. Unlock the gates and move anything leaning against the fence. That's the whole list.
Why can't your trucks just take the Merritt?
Because the parkway bans commercial vehicles — it's a hard rule, not a preference, and every hauler working this county lives with it. Our trucks run I-95 or come down Route 7 or Route 8 instead. It's already baked into our Fairfield County scheduling, so it doesn't change your quote or your booking window; it's just why the truck arrives from the direction it does.
The fence between us and the neighbor is falling down and nobody remembers who built it. Now what?
Talk first, then call us. A boundary fence with unclear ownership is a conversation — or occasionally a property survey — between you and the neighbor, and it has to happen before removal, because we can't referee it from the truck. The good news: in our experience most neighbors are delighted to split the cost of removing an eyesore both of them have been staring at. Once you're agreed, the removal itself is routine.
Do I need a permit to use the Stamford transfer station?
Yes — Stamford requires a resident permit for station access, per the town's posted rules. Factor the permit into any DIY disposal math; our trucks don't need one because we don't use the resident line.
When is the Stamford transfer station open?
The town posts Residential/Commercial Dumping Services: Monday - Saturday 6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The residential dumping area closes at 2:00 p.m.; you must be in line no less than 30 minutes prior to Scale House closing.. Holiday closures apply — check the town's page before you load, or skip the trip entirely and let the can take the schedule problem off your plate.
