Expert Restaurant Equipment Removal for Canton, Michigan Restaurants

Canton restaurants sit in a unique position-many operate in aging strip malls along Michigan Avenue and in the Summit on the Park area, where equipment removal demands careful planning around tight kitchen spaces and shared utility lines. Canton's commercial properties often have landlord approval requirements and utility disconnection permits that add 3-7 days to typical projects. Dtownjunkremovals has removed equipment from over 40 Canton-area restaurants, understanding the township's building codes and the specific challenges of disconnecting gas, electric, and water lines in pre-2000 commercial kitchens.

Our restaurant equipment removal process in Canton takes 1-3 days depending on volume. We arrive with a 26-foot box truck, safely disconnect all utilities (gas lines capped to Michigan code, electrical safely de-energized, water disconnected), remove equipment using dollies and furniture pads to protect flooring, and haul everything to our certified recycling partners. Most Canton restaurants see us complete 8-12 piece equipment removals in a single 4-6 hour session. We handle commercial-grade stainless steel tables, commercial dishwashers, prep coolers, and ventilation hoods-items weighing 150-800 pounds each that require two-person teams and proper equipment.

Recent Project

Recent Restaurant Equipment Removal Project in Canton, Michigan

A family-owned Italian restaurant in the Carleton Pointe area of Canton closed after 18 years; the owners needed full kitchen equipment removal within 14 days before lease termination. Our crew removed a 6-burner Vulcan range, two 3-pan commercial dishwashers, a 15-cubic-foot walk-in cooler, and 40 linear feet of stainless prep tables. We capped the gas line to Michigan code, de-energized the 240V cooler compressor, and disposed of Freon through a licensed HVAC contractor. The entire project took 5.5 hours and cost $1,850 including utility permits. The restaurant space was ready for the next tenant within 7 days.
