Our Step-by-Step Kitchen Demolition Process
Every kitchen demo we do follows the same proven sequence. It keeps the job fast, safe, and clean.
1. Walkthrough and firm quote. We visit your home, look at the kitchen, and talk through exactly what is coming out and what is staying. You get a firm written price before we touch anything.
2. Prep and protection. On demo day we lay floor protection from the front door to the kitchen, hang plastic dust barriers, and shut off water to the sink and dishwasher lines.
3. Appliances out first. Refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave get disconnected and hauled to the trailer first. This opens up the workspace so the crew can move freely.
4. Uppers, then lowers. Wall cabinets come down before base cabinets. Countertops and backsplash come off along with the cabinets they sit on.
5. Flooring and walls last. If your scope includes flooring or wall removal, that happens once the room is empty and easy to work in.
6. Haul and final sweep. Every scrap goes into our trailer the same day. We sweep up and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave.
How to Prepare Your Kitchen for Demo Day
A little prep on your end makes demo day go faster:
- Empty everything. Cabinets, drawers, pantry, and counters should be completely clear before we arrive.
- Flag what you want to keep. If you are donating or reusing cabinets or appliances, label them and tell us during the walkthrough so nothing you want gets tossed.
- Clear a path. Move furniture and rugs out of the route from your front door to the kitchen.
- Plan for pets and kids. Demo day is loud and dusty. It is easier on everyone if they are somewhere else for the day.
- Arrange parking. Our trailer needs a driveway or a close parking spot. If you are in a condo, check guest parking and loading zone rules ahead of time.
Permits and Condo Rules in Broward County
Permit rules vary by city, so always check with your local building department. As a general rule, simple cabinet and countertop swaps usually do not require a permit, but moving plumbing, relocating electrical, or removing walls almost always does. Your remodeler typically pulls these permits rather than the demo crew, but ask us during the walkthrough and we will tell you what we usually see on jobs like yours.
Condos and HOAs are a different story. Many buildings in Broward County require elevator reservations, floor protection in hallways, and work restricted to weekday daytime hours. Some require a certificate of insurance from every contractor on site. We work in condos every week and can send our insurance paperwork to your building management before demo day so there are no surprises at the loading dock.
Common Kitchen Demo Mistakes to Avoid
- Demoing before the new kitchen is fully planned. Never gut a kitchen until your new cabinets are ordered and measured. Living without a kitchen for extra weeks because of a planning gap is miserable.
- Not photographing what is behind the walls. Once walls are open, snap photos of plumbing and electrical runs. Your future self, and your plumber, will thank you.
- DIY disconnects on gas or water lines. Shutting off a sink valve is fine. Touching gas lines is not. Leave that to a licensed pro.
- Having no debris plan. A full kitchen gut fills a trailer fast. Homeowners who demo themselves often end up with a pile in the driveway for weeks. We haul everything the same day we tear it out.
Kitchen Demolition FAQ
How long does a kitchen demolition take?
Most kitchen demos take one day. Full gut jobs with wall and flooring removal can take two. We will give you an honest timeline during the walkthrough.
Do I need to be home during the demolition?
Not necessarily. Many customers give us access and go about their day. We do a walkthrough with you before we start and after we finish.
What if my home was built before 1980?
Older homes can have asbestos in flooring, insulation, or joint compound. If we suspect it, we stop and recommend certified testing before continuing. We do not cut corners on this.
Can you work around my schedule?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including weekends in many cases. Condos with restricted work hours get priority morning slots.
