Kitchen Demolition Services
Complete kitchen gutting, fixture removal, debris haul. Renovation-ready cleanup.
No credit card required. Free estimate. Easy to reschedule.
Kitchen demolition is a specialized service that kicks off most kitchen renovations. TJ's Cleanouts removes cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, fixtures, and drywall as part of your kitchen gut job. Our licensed crew handles electrical and plumbing disconnections safely, manages debris, and leaves your space ready for the rebuild phase.
Kitchen demo requires careful planning to avoid damaging walls, ceilings, and structural framing. We assess your layout, confirm what stays and what goes, and execute a systematic teardown. Permits are obtained if required; final cleanup is thorough and immediate.
Most kitchen demolitions take 1-2 days depending on size and scope. Smaller kitchens (galley, single-wall): 1 day. Large open kitchens with islands: 2 days. Price is upfront and flat; debris haul is included the same day or as scheduled.
Free on-site estimate. You approve the price before we load anything.
What Kitchen Demolition Includes
Our Process
We inspect cabinet types, appliance sizes, flooring materials, and check for hazardous substances. Confirm with your contractor which walls will be altered and what appliances you're keeping. This prevents mistakes and surprises.
Gas lines to the stove are capped safely. Electrical circuits are turned off. Water lines to the sink are shut off. All disconnections follow code and are documented for safety.
Cabinets are removed and loaded into our truck. Appliances are carefully removed (can be sold or donated). Counters and backsplash are stripped. Flooring is torn up and hauled. Walls and ceilings stay intact unless renovation plans call for removal.
All debris is loaded and removed same-day or per your schedule. Kitchen is swept clean and ready for your contractor to begin the remodel phase immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are needed for kitchen demolition?
Interior demolition typically doesn't require a permit if walls are non-load-bearing. If your kitchen remodel involves removing a wall, major electrical rewiring, or plumbing changes, permits may be required. We confirm during your estimate. Most kitchen demos proceed without permits.
How long does kitchen demolition take?
Small galley kitchen: 1 day. Standard 200 sq ft kitchen: 1-2 days. Large open kitchen with island: 2 days. Timeline depends on appliance count and flooring type. We provide a specific schedule during your estimate.
How much does kitchen demolition cost?
Depends on kitchen size and complexity. We assess on-site and provide a firm, flat-rate quote. You approve the price before we start.
Can you remove appliances carefully for resale?
Yes. If you want to keep or resell appliances, we remove them carefully and can set them aside on-site. Stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers can often be donated or sold if in working condition. Let us know upfront.
What about the backsplash and grout removal?
Backsplash tile is carefully removed. We try to preserve intact tiles for reuse when possible. Grout is ground out and tile is hauled. If you want to save tile for reuse, tell us and we'll exercise extra care.
Do you handle kitchen renovation after demolition?
Yes. As a licensed general contractor, we offer full kitchen renovation services: plumbing rough-in, electrical, cabinet installation, countertops, tile work, flooring, and finishing. We can manage your complete kitchen project from demo through final walkthrough.
