Conditions, constraints, and on-site decisions that shape the final project cost.
Bin or weight overage fees
Trigger: Waste weight exceeds the standard bin tonnage allowance of approximately 5 to 7 tons.
An additional bin or weight overage fees may apply. This example identifies approximately $400 to $700 in possible additional cost.
Concrete footing removal
Trigger: The existing footing is found to be structurally unsound, or the homeowner requests full removal.
Removing and disposing of the concrete footing would be added work. This example identifies approximately $950 to $1,450 in possible additional cost.
The real conversation behind this estimate
The real conversation behind this estimate
This is the how RenoFiz gathered the facts and turned a simple request into a scoped estimate.
Need a price to remove and dispose of a cinder block fence. About 100' total length and roughly 50" above the footing. The concrete footing stays in place. The fence is clearly falling over, so it should be easy to take apart.
I've gone through your photos and details. Taking down a leaning cinder block fence of that length is a straightforward demo — the main cost drivers are the weight of the concrete and the disposal requirements around Toronto.
A few specific questions to price it accurately:
Question: What is your postal code?
Question: Do you know roughly what year the fence was built?
- Pre-1990
- 1990 or newer
- I'm not sure
Question: Is there clear access to drop a disposal bin in the driveway or alley right next to the fence?
- Yes, plenty of room right next to it
- No, it's a tight space or a long walk to the street
Photos that would help Your photos are great for the fence condition. One more would help:
- An overview of the access path showing where a truck or bin would park relative to the fence.
What is your postal code?: M5V
Do you know roughly what year the fence was built?: 1990 or newer
Is there clear access for a disposal bin to be dropped in the driveway or alley right next to the fence?: Yes, plenty of room right next to it
