Construction
Sink and vanity removal across the Golden Isles.
Vanity cabinets, pedestal sinks, and cast-iron basins that weigh three times what anybody expects. Plumbing disconnected first.
The short version
Sink & Vanity Removal at a glance.
- What it is
- Removal of sinks and bathroom vanities — cut loose from the wall, separated from the countertop, and carried out, once the plumbing has been disconnected.
- What’s included
- Vanity cabinets, single, double, and floating
- Vanity tops, integral bowls, and cultured marble
- Cast-iron, porcelain, stainless, and composite sinks
- Pedestal, wall-hung, and console basins
- Utility and laundry sinks
- How pricing works
- Labor leads, because most of the job is careful detachment rather than carrying — scoring caulk, backing out screws, and separating tops without damaging the wall. Cast iron adds crew rather than volume, and plumbing must be disconnected before pickup.

The thing that catches people out with sinks is cast iron. An enamelled cast-iron kitchen sink looks like any other sink and weighs well over a hundred pounds, and a cast-iron pedestal basin is worse because the weight is up high and the pedestal is doing nothing to help you. People try to lift one alone, discover the problem halfway, and either drop it or hurt themselves. If yours is old and it is heavy in a way that feels wrong, tell us — that is a two-person lift and it changes how we plan the carry, not whether we take it.
Vanities are a different problem: they are attached. A bathroom vanity is screwed to the wall studs at the back rail, usually caulked to the wall and often to the floor, and the countertop is either integral or siliconed down hard. Getting one out is not lifting a cabinet — it is cutting the caulk line, backing out the screws, and separating the top from the base without taking a chunk of drywall with it. On older Brunswick and downtown houses the wall behind is frequently plaster rather than board, which is worth knowing before anybody starts prying.
The plumbing has to be off before we get there. Supply valves closed, supply lines disconnected, and the P-trap and drain broken loose. We are not plumbers, and we do not touch live water lines. There is also always water left in a trap, which comes out on the floor if nobody puts a bucket under it first.
Most of this work here is bath and kitchen remodels, rental turnovers between seasons, and second homes getting refreshed — plus estate properties where a vanity has been in place long enough that the caulk has become structural.

How we work
How we actually handle it.
Plumbing comes first, and it is not our part. Supply valves off, supply lines disconnected, drain and P-trap broken loose, and a bucket under the trap because there is always water in it. If a plumber has already been through, this is done and we are just removing the fixture.
Drop-in and undermount kitchen sinks come out of the countertop rather than off the wall. Undermounts are held with clips and a heavy bead of adhesive under the stone, so they come free with the counter or after the adhesive is cut. If the countertop is going too, it is usually easier to take them together.
Vanities are cut loose before they are lifted. The caulk line at the wall and floor gets scored, the screws come out of the back rail, and the top separates from the base where it can. Doing that carefully is the difference between a clean removal and a repair job for whoever comes next.
Cast iron is a two-person carry, every time. So is a solid vanity with a stone top still attached, which is why we separate the top first when the design allows.
Older houses get more care. Plaster walls and original tile do not forgive prying, and we would rather take an extra ten minutes than hand you a hole to patch.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Sink and vanity removal prices on the four factors: how much room the load takes, the labor to get it out, the access, and disposal cost. Labor leads, because most of this job is careful detachment rather than carrying.
A pedestal sink already disconnected and sitting free is quick. A double vanity with a stone top, caulked to a tile wall on a second floor, is a genuine removal with a stair carry attached. Cast iron adds crew rather than volume.
Almost nobody removes only a sink. If the toilet, tub, tile, or countertops are going in the same project, tell us and we will price the visit as a whole rather than fixture by fixture.
