Define the limits
Identify rails, stairs, framing, posts, and footings. A partial removal needs clear boundaries.
Check the attachment
A deck connected to the house deserves a closer assessment than a freestanding platform.
Plan the path
Protect the route for carrying lumber and keep people away from the work area.
Think ahead
If a new deck is planned, coordinate demolition scope with the builder so the site is left at the right stage.
