Microwave Removal from Corktown Kitchen Renovation in Detroit

A 2,100 sq ft home in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood required removal of a dated over-the-range GE microwave as part of a full kitchen remodel. Our crew arrived on a Friday morning, safely disconnected the 240-volt hardwired unit from the cabinet, and hauled it away within 45 minutes, allowing the homeowner's contractor to begin cabinet installation the same afternoon. The stainless steel body and electronic components were recycled at an R2-certified facility in Dearborn, with disposal completed by end of business.
