Countertop removal across the Golden Isles.
Kitchen and bathroom tops - laminate, tile, stone, butcher block. We tear out and haul. Sink and gas get disconnected first.
Part of our Construction Debris Removal service
Countertop removal is the demo-and-haul half of a counter swap. New tops are coming in - quartz, granite, fresh laminate - and the old surface has to come out before anything new can go down. We do that side of the job: tearing out and hauling old kitchen and bathroom countertops, whether they’re laminate, tile, solid surface, granite, quartz, or butcher block.
The thing people underestimate is weight. Stone tops - granite, quartz, marble - are extremely heavy, and a single uncut run of counter usually can’t be carried out of a kitchen in one piece. We break stone into sections so it can be carried out safely and loaded without anyone getting hurt or a doorway getting torn up. Laminate and butcher block are lighter and come out closer to whole, but the demo is the same idea: free the top, get it loose, carry it out.
One hard line before we start: where a sink, cooktop, faucet, or appliance is attached to the counter, the water, gas, and electrical have to be disconnected and capped first - by you or by your licensed plumber or electrician. We remove and haul the countertop after it’s safe to do so. We do not perform plumbing, gas, or electrical disconnection. This is non-structural tear-out only.
What we haul
Specifically, what we take for countertop removal.
- Kitchen countertops (single runs, islands, peninsulas)
- Bathroom and vanity countertops
- Granite, quartz, and marble stone tops
- Laminate countertops
- Tile countertops and the underlying substrate
- Solid-surface countertops
- Butcher block and wood countertops
How we work
How we actually handle it.
Most countertop jobs start at the seams and the fasteners. Laminate and butcher block are screwed or glued down to the cabinet boxes and pry up in sections once the fasteners are out. Tile tops come up with the substrate they were set on. Stone is the heavy version - granite and quartz are extremely dense, and a full kitchen run weighs more than two people want to lift in one piece.
That’s why stone usually gets sectioned. We break long runs into pieces that can be carried out the door and loaded safely, rather than risking the slab, the cabinets, the floor, or someone’s back trying to muscle the whole thing at once. It looks aggressive, but it’s the honest way to get heavy stone out of a finished room without leaving damage behind.
We work after the disconnect is done. If a sink, cooktop, faucet, or appliance is attached, those connections - water, gas, electrical - need to be disconnected and capped before we tear out the top. Once the counter is safe to remove, we free it, carry it out, and haul it. We don’t touch the plumbing, gas, or electrical ourselves.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Countertop pricing scales with material, length of run, and access. A short laminate vanity top in a ground-floor bathroom is the lightest version of this job. A full kitchen of granite or quartz - long runs, an island, a second-floor kitchen with a single stair - is the heaviest, because stone weight and sectioning both add time.
Call us with the rooms, the material, and roughly how much counter there is - or send photos - and we’ll give you a real number. We don’t pretend a laminate vanity and a granite island are the same job, and we don’t quote until we understand what we’re carrying out.

The honest exceptions
What we won’t take — for this item.
A short, honest list of edge cases we either won’t take or want to discuss before we show up. When in doubt, call us — we’ll walk through it before scheduling.
- Disconnecting or capping plumbing, gas lines, or electrical - a sink, cooktop, faucet, or appliance attached to the counter must be disconnected by you or a licensed plumber or electrician before we tear out the top
- Structural work - this is non-structural tear-out only, not anything that supports the building
- Pulling permits or acting as a licensed contractor - we’re a junk removal and light demolition service, not a licensed contractor
