Kitchen demolition Services in Detroit, Michigan
Kitchen demolition is a critical first step before remodeling or updating your home's heart. Whether your kitchen features original cabinetry from a 1950s Rosedale Park bungalow, outdated laminate counters from a Southfield ranch, or worn appliances in a Westland colonial, our crews dismantle and haul away all materials in a controlled, efficient manner. We work in tight spaces typical of Detroit homes, protecting walls, flooring, and adjacent rooms during the demo process.
Our kitchen demolition process begins with a site inspection to identify utilities, load-bearing elements, and any hazardous materials. We shut off electrical, plumbing, and gas connections safely, then systematically remove cabinets, counters, backsplash, and flooring. Once the space is stripped to the studs or subfloor, we load all debris into our trucks and haul it to proper disposal facilities or recycling centers serving the Detroit metro area. Most residential kitchen demos complete within 2-3 days, with heavy-duty commercial kitchen removals taking 3-5 days depending on equipment volume.

Our Kitchen demolition Process
Initial Inspection and Planning
Our estimator visits your Detroit-area home to assess kitchen size, identify utilities, check for hazardous materials, and photograph the current condition. This typically takes 30-45 minutes and occurs within 24 hours of your call to (313)514-1979.
Utility Disconnection
Licensed technicians shut off electrical power at the breaker, cap gas lines safely, and isolate water supply lines. This phase takes 1-2 hours and ensures no risk of shock, gas leak, or water damage during demolition.
Cabinet and Counter Removal
Crews systematically remove mounted cabinets, countertops, and backsplash materials, carefully protecting adjacent drywall and flooring. This stage typically takes 4-6 hours for a standard 150-200 sq ft kitchen.
Appliance and Fixture Removal
All kitchen appliances, sinks, faucets, and fixtures are disconnected and removed. Heavy items like refrigerators and stoves require specialized handling and typically take 2-3 hours.
Flooring and Final Debris Removal
Once cabinets and appliances are out, flooring is demolished and removed. All debris is loaded into our trucks and hauled away to disposal or recycling facilities. Final cleanup and sweep-down completes the job, usually within 6-8 hours total.
Post-Demo Inspection and Documentation
We walk through with you to confirm all removal is complete, take final photos, and provide documentation for your contractor or insurance if needed. This ensures your space is ready for the next phase of renovation.
