Most wood decks in our area only last 10 to 15 years. The freeze-thaw cycle here is brutal on them, and the damage usually starts where you can't see it.

A quick test you can do this week: press a screwdriver into the deck posts and joists. If the tip sinks in easily, there's rot inside the wood, even if the surface looks fine. Then lean on the railings and check for a gap where the deck meets the house.
We wrote up all 5 warning signs, plus how to know whether a repair will hold or it's time to replace.

Brock and his crew Coulee Junk Removal are the people to call when you need any demo or junk removed. Can’t recommend them enough!!

A homeowner called us wanting to open up their basement. They had this wall they wanted gone so they could finally have a real workshop down there. Problem was, that wall was holding up part of the house above it.

If they had jumped into the project themselves, they could have had a much bigger problem than a small basement workshop. We engineered a header to carry the load, opened the wall up, moved a couple bedrooms around, and upgraded the electrical while we were down there. Doubled the size of their workshop.

If you've got a wall you want gone, call us before you touch it. We'll come out, take a look, and tell you what's safe and what isn't.

If you need Junk Removal or Demolition services this is the place to call! Brock and the crew will take care of you!

Hey Everyone,

Coulee Junk Removal has officially been in business for two years! For those who are new here, I want to take the opportunity to introduce myself and share the impact we are trying to make.

My name is Brock Borchardt, and I grew up in Hillsboro, WI. Two and a half years ago, I was working a 9-to-5 job with a local contractor in La Crosse. It was enjoyable, but I knew I wanted more. Starting a business and helping the community had always been interests of mine. In May 2024, I left my 9-to-5 and started Coulee Junk Removal with my wife, Rachel. To many people, this probably seemed random or even foolish, but to my inner circle, it made perfect sense.

My dad, Bruce, was our first employee. His selfless personality wouldn’t allow him to accept a paycheck for the first two months. Once he realized this wasn’t just another one of my random ideas, he gladly accepted one. Plus, I worked him to the bone while he juggled helping me and working another job. Next, my brother, Bronson, joined the madness and made a huge impact on both the junk removal and demolition sides of the business. Calling us a family-owned business is an understatement! My mom even jumped in on a few jobs over the weekends just to help us out — and she’s a nurse practitioner.

Through all the chaos, constant learning curves, and growing pains, it has been amazing building this company with my wife. We are each other’s “hype man” on the tough days. We’re never both down at the same time — one of us always lifts the other up.

Over the past two years, we have slowly built an incredible team of people who truly care about the vision of our company: a company that cares about its customers and provides an amazing experience every time. Our goal is to be the local company you can trust to handle your project. Whether it’s junk removal or demolition, our team is here to help.

I want to sincerely thank all of our past and current customers who have trusted us over the last two years. We wouldn’t be here without your support!

Our services include:
• Junk removal
• Demolition
• Rehoming items

Give us a call today if you have a project in mind!

Most homeowners don’t know which walls are safe to remove… and which ones are holding everything up.

In this project, we had to install a structural header to safely open up the space. Without it, the ceiling could’ve collapsed and turned into a full rebuild.

If you’re thinking about removing a wall, don’t guess.
Call Johnston Construction and we’ll make sure it’s done right.

Most La Crosse homeowners don’t realize their roof was damaged this winter… until spring storms hit.

Hidden issues like loose shingles, popped nails, and cracked vent boots turn into leaks fast once the storms roll in.

A small repair now could save you a $10K+ repair later on.

We broke down exactly what to look for in our 2026 Spring Roof Inspection guide.

Read it here:

Is your roof ready for the 2026 summer storms? A simple spring roof inspection can save you from a $20,000 replacement later this summer.
