Fence Removal Cost in San Fernando Valley, CA

Most people pay $300–$800. Updated for 2026.

A leaning, rotted fence line in San Fernando Valley, CA has to come out before a new one goes in, and fence contractors usually quote removal separately — often for more than a hauling crew charges.

Fencing is priced by the linear foot, and the number that moves it most is what the posts are set in.

Fence Removal in San Fernando Valley: what actually moves the price

Prices for fence removal do not change at a neighbourhood line, but disposal rules do — and San Fernando Valley follows the rules of Los Angeles, CA, which is where the transfer stations, kerbside limits and any bulky-item appointment come from.

Posts in concrete change everything

Panels come off quickly. Posts set in concrete footings have to be dug or pulled, and a hundred-foot fence has a dozen or more of them. If new posts are going in the same holes the footings must come out; if the fence line is being abandoned, cutting at grade is far cheaper. That decision belongs in the job description.

Material decides where it goes

Timber panels are bulky and go to landfill or biomass depending on treatment — pressure-treated wood cannot be composted or burned. Chain link and metal posts are scrap and offset a little of the cost. Vinyl is landfill. A mixed line is quoted at the least favourable of the three.

FAQ

Fence Removal in San Fernando Valley — common questions

How much does fence removal cost in San Fernando Valley?

Most people pay $300–$800. That is a national range for fence removal, not a quote — your real price comes from local pros bidding on your photos, and it moves with volume, stairs and how far the item has to travel to the truck.

Should the fence company do it, or a hauling crew?

Get both numbers. Fence contractors often price removal as an add-on at a rate that assumes it is inconvenient; a hauling crew is doing exactly the work it does every day. Where the new fence follows the same line, though, one contractor doing both can be simpler.

What about a shared boundary fence?

Settle that with your neighbour before anyone starts. A boundary fence is frequently jointly owned and removing one without agreement is a dispute you do not want. Nothing about the removal itself is complicated; the conversation beforehand is the part people skip.

Do I need to call before digging?

Yes, if footings are coming out. Utility location is free and legally required in most states before digging, and fence lines have a habit of running near buried services. Any crew that starts digging without it is one to walk away from.

Do I have to carry it outside myself?

No. Pros do the lifting and loading — that labor is what you are paying for. Tell them where the item sits when you post the job, because stairs and long carries change the quote.

How quickly can it be picked up?

Quotes typically arrive within hours, and same-day or next-day pickup is common when a crew has room on the truck. You choose the date and time window that works for you.

What does JunkerClub charge me?

Nothing. Posting a job and collecting quotes is free, and you pay your pro directly when the work is done. The pro pays the platform a small fee only when they win the job — it never gets added to your price.

Who sets the bulky-waste and disposal rules in San Fernando Valley?

Los Angeles does. San Fernando Valley is a neighbourhood rather than a city of its own, so kerbside limits, bulky-item appointments and drop-off sites all come from Los Angeles. A private hauler can work here regardless of the boundary, but anything that depends on the municipality is the city's rule, not the neighbourhood's.
