Fence Removal in Akron & Summit County
A worn-out fence can make a property look neglected fast, especially after years of Northeast Ohio winters, heavy rain, wind, freeze-thaw damage, and shifting soil around the posts. Whether you have a leaning wood privacy fence in Akron, rusted chain-link around an older property line, cracked vinyl panels in a Summit County subdivision, or split rail fencing on a larger lot, Ohio Junk Force can take it down and haul it away.
Our Akron crews handle the entire teardown — pulling posts, breaking down panels or rails, and clearing every scrap from the yard — so all you’re left with is open space, ready for whatever comes next.
Call (330) 785-7938 or book online — same-day and next-day appointments are typically available throughout Akron and Summit County.

Signs Your Akron Fence Has Reached the End of the Line
Not sure if it’s worth removing versus repairing? These are the most common reasons Akron homeowners call us.
- Wood posts have rotted at the base and the panels are leaning or falling
- Chain-link is rusted through, sagging, or pulling away from the posts
- Vinyl panels are cracked, discolored, or shattered from storm impact
- A storm or fallen tree limb took out a full section
- You’re landscaping or installing a pool and the fence is in the way
- You’re replacing the fence entirely and need the old one gone first
- A property sale or inspection flagged the fence as a liability
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s usually faster and cheaper to remove it outright than to keep patching it.
Your Akron Fence Removal, Step by Step
01
Tell Us About the Fence
Call (330) 785-7938 or use the Instant Price Estimator to describe the length, material, and condition of the fence. We’ll give you our best estimate up front based on what you describe — then confirm a firm quote in person once we see the fence line.
02
We Arrive and Confirm the Scope
On the day of your appointment, the crew walks the fence line with you to confirm the job matches what was described. If anything has changed — more linear footage, buried concrete, gate hardware — we tell you before starting, and you decide whether to proceed.
03
Full Teardown and Haul-Away
We pull posts, break down panels or mesh, and remove every piece of hardware — nails, brackets, post caps, concrete footings. Nothing is left behind for you to bag up or drag to the curb.

Final Walkthrough
What Fence Removal Costs in Akron
Pricing is based on the length of fencing, the material, and how the posts are set — not a flat per-job rate. A short run of wood panels costs less than a long stretch of concrete-set chain-link.
Every price is all-inclusive: labor, hauling, and disposal are rolled into one number, with no surprise line items. For concrete-set posts, we recommend cutting them off at the base rather than excavating the footings — it leaves your yard intact and ready to reclaim the space, instead of a hole up to 42 inches deep and two feet across for every post. If you want the footings fully dug out, we can do that for an additional charge — just let us know when you call so it’s included in your estimate.
Use the Instant Price Estimator for a fast estimate, or call (330) 785-7938 and describe your fence — we’ll give you our best estimate over the phone and confirm the firm quote when we walk the fence line with you.

Fence Removal Throughout Akron and Summit County
Types of Fences We Remove
Wood Privacy and Picket Fences
Wood fences look simple to remove until you hit a post set in concrete. We pull boards, rails, and posts — concrete footings included — and haul everything away completely, including any nails, screws, or hardware left behind.
Chain-Link Fencing
Rolled-up chain-link mesh, steel posts, and top rails are awkward and sharp to handle. Our crews roll, cut, and load the material safely, removing concrete-set posts along the way.
Vinyl and Composite Fencing
Cracked or sun-damaged vinyl panels and posts come apart in sections. We remove the panels, pull the posts, and clear any leftover anchor material from the ground.
Wrought Iron and Aluminum
Decorative metal fencing is heavy and often welded or bolted into place. We handle the disassembly and hauling, including ornamental gates and posts.
Split Rail and Farm-Style Fencing
Common on larger Summit County properties, split rail fencing involves pulling posts and clearing long rail sections — we handle properties of any size.
Have a mixed-material fence or something unusual? Call and describe it — we’ve almost certainly removed one before.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fence removal cost in Akron?
Pricing depends on the length, material, and how the posts are set. Concrete-set posts and longer runs cost more than short sections with posts set in dirt. Every price is all-inclusive — labor, hauling, and disposal in one number. Call (330) 785-7938 or use the Instant Price Estimator for a fast estimate; we confirm the firm quote in person once we see the fence.
How do you handle fence posts set in concrete?
For concrete-set posts, we recommend cutting them off at the base rather than digging out the footings. Excavating each footing leaves a hole up to 42 inches deep and two feet across per post — cutting at the base leaves your yard smooth and ready to reclaim the space, and it’s included in your upfront price. If you’d rather have the footings fully removed, we can do that for an additional charge; just tell us when you call so we can include it in your estimate.
Will you haul away the fence material, or do I need to dispose of it myself?
We haul everything away as part of the job — wood, metal, vinyl, hardware, and any debris from the teardown. Recyclable materials like metal posts and chain-link mesh are routed accordingly.
Can you remove just a section of fence instead of the whole thing?
Yes. Partial fence removals are common — for example, taking out one damaged section while leaving the rest standing. Let us know the scope when you call so we can quote it accurately.
Do I need to be home during the fence removal?
Not necessarily, as long as the crew has clear access to the fence line and any gates are unlocked. Many Akron customers arrange access and have the work completed while they’re at work or running errands.
How long does it take to remove a fence?
Most residential fence removals are completed in a single visit, often within a few hours depending on the length and material. Larger properties or fences with concrete footings may take longer — we’ll give you a time estimate when you book.
