Fence Removal in Big Sandy, done the Big Sandy way
Rural and small-town jobs around Big Sandy are often the interesting ones: barns, back fields, campers that have grown into the treeline. We bring the winch, the extended straps, and the patience.
Disposal around Big Sandy is not the same everywhere. Texas has cheap landfill space but big distances, so the drive is a bigger factor than tipping fees. We route every load to the right place.
Hurricane season on the Gulf, spring flooding on the lakes, and the endless supply of RVs on rural acreage keep the schedule full year-round. The calendar fills up in those stretches, so booking a week ahead gets you the window you want.

Texas rules
Titles, disposal, and Texas rules for fence removal
Texas does not require a permit for residential fence removal, but disposal facilities have rules about what they accept and what carries a fee. Texas has cheap landfill space but big distances, so the drive is a bigger factor than tipping fees.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and refrigerant are handled properly on every job, which is the difference between a licensed removal company and an unlicensed one. Ask about it and we will show you where it goes.
Hurricane season on the Gulf, spring flooding on the lakes, and the endless supply of RVs on rural acreage keep the schedule full year-round.

Questions from Big Sandy
Fence Removal in Big Sandy: your questions
Do you pull the concrete footings?
Yes. Posts come out with the footing so the new fence can go in the same line.
Can you leave some sections?
Yes. Mark what stays and we remove the rest.
Do you offer same-day fence removal in Big Sandy?
Same-day fence removal in Big Sandy depends on that day's schedule. We keep windows open for urgent calls, and next-day is almost always available.
Are you licensed and insured for fence removal in Texas?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Texas. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.
Which areas near Big Sandy do you cover?
All of Upshur County, including Gilmer, Ore City, Houston and San Antonio. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Texas page for the full city list.
How do I set up fence removal in Big Sandy?
Send a few photos through the estimate form or by text. We confirm what we can take and set up the free on-site estimate, and nothing is loaded until you say yes.
Do I need to be home for fence removal in Big Sandy?
Only for the estimate, and even that can happen by phone or text with photos from the crew. Property managers and out-of-town owners do it this way every week.
What should I do before the crew gets to Big Sandy?
Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.
Can you get it out of a tight spot in Big Sandy?
Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
Where does the junk from Big Sandy actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Texas has cheap landfill space but big distances, so the drive is a bigger factor than tipping fees.
