Expert Restaurant Equipment Removal for Madison Heights Commercial Properties

Madison Heights commercial kitchens face unique challenges: many buildings date back to the 1970s-1990s with aging electrical systems and plumbing that complicate equipment removal. Our team understands Madison Heights's building codes and knows how to disconnect gas lines, water hookups, and electrical connections safely. Whether your restaurant sits near John R Road or in the heart of Lamphere, we arrive with the right tools-pry bars, dollies rated for 2,000+ pounds, and disconnection kits-to extract equipment without damaging walls or flooring. Madison Heights requires electrical permits for any commercial kitchen work, and we coordinate those details so your removal stays compliant.

Our restaurant equipment removal process in Madison Heights typically takes 4-8 hours depending on kitchen size and number of units. We start with a walk-through assessment, photograph all connections, disconnect utilities (gas, water, electrical) under code compliance, unbolt equipment from floors and walls, and haul everything to our trucks using professional rigging. For a typical 300-square-foot Madison Heights kitchen with 6-8 major pieces (fryer, griddle, cooler, prep station, hood, dishwasher), expect a 6-hour project and a cost between $1,200-$2,200. We dispose of steel, aluminum, copper, and food-grade stainless at certified recycling facilities, not landfills.
