Kitchen cabinet removal across the Golden Isles.
Uppers, bases, islands, vanities. Unscrewed from the studs, broken down, hauled out. We clear the room so the remodel can start.
Part of our Construction Debris Removal service
Kitchen cabinet removal is the demo-and-haul front end of a kitchen remodel. New cabinets are coming in, and the old ones have to come off the wall first — uppers unscrewed from the studs, bases pulled away from the wall and floor, toe kicks and fillers pried loose, and all of it carried out so the room is empty and ready for whoever installs next.
The work splits cleanly. Old particleboard cabinets often crumble on the way out — the screws strip, the boxes come apart in your hands, and the job becomes more about hauling rubble than carrying furniture. Solid-wood cabinets usually come out in one piece if you take them down carefully, which sometimes leaves a reuse or donation path open. We read the cabinet on site and work it the way it wants to be worked. Bathroom vanities are the same job at a smaller scale — a vanity cabinet comes off the wall the same way a base cabinet does, just with less of it.
Here is the boundary, stated plainly: wherever a sink, dishwasher, cooktop, or vanity plumbing is tied in, the water, gas, and electrical have to be disconnected and capped first — by you or your licensed plumber or electrician. We remove and haul the cabinetry and countertops once it is safe to do so. We do not perform plumbing, gas, or electrical work, we do not install new cabinets, and we work non-structural only — we do not remove load-bearing walls. If the countertop is coming out too, we have a dedicated countertop-removal page and can scope both together on one trip.
What we haul
Specifically, what we take for kitchen cabinet removal.
- Upper (wall) cabinets
- Base (lower) cabinets
- Kitchen island cabinetry (free-standing, non-structural)
- Bathroom vanity cabinets
- Toe kicks, fillers, and end panels
- Cabinet doors, drawers, and shelving pulled separately
How we work
How we actually handle it.
Uppers come down first. They are screwed into the wall studs and into each other along the stiles; we back the screws out, support the weight, and lift the boxes off the rail or cleat they hang on. Bases come next — drawers and doors out to drop the weight, then the screws at the wall and the fasteners at the floor, then the box pulled clear. Toe kicks and fillers are last, pried loose with a bar.
All of this happens after the utilities are disconnected. We do not pull a base cabinet that still has a live water line, a gas connection, or wired-in power running through it. Once the sink, dishwasher, cooktop, or vanity plumbing has been disconnected and capped by you or a licensed pro, the cabinetry is just boxes on the wall and floor, and that part is our work.
Particleboard and solid wood behave differently coming out. Old particleboard boxes — especially anything that has lived under a leaking sink — tend to crumble, and we plan to haul them as broken-down debris rather than intact cabinets. Solid-wood cabinets come out cleaner and sometimes in one piece, which can keep a reuse path open. We tell you on site which kind you have and what that means for the load.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Cabinet pricing scales with how much cabinetry there is, how much volume it fills in the truck, and the access to the room. A single bathroom vanity is the lightest version of this job. A full kitchen — a wall of uppers, a run of bases, an island, plus toe kicks and fillers — is the heaviest, and a galley layout with a tight doorway adds time on top of that.
We come look at the kitchen or bath — or you send photos and the rough run of cabinets — and we give you a real number. We do not pretend every kitchen is the same size, so we do not quote a flat per-cabinet rate sight unseen. If the countertop is part of the job, we scope it on the same visit.
