Kitchen Demolition Scope in Allentown, PA
You pick where we stop.
- Cabinets and counters only
- Plus the sink, backsplash and old appliances
- Plus the flooring, down to the subfloor if you want
- A full gut to the studs, with soffits, built-ins and pantry shelving
Decide your stopping point before the estimate. Each step down adds labor and adds debris, so stopping one step sooner is the easiest way to keep the number down.

Tell us about the appliances
You don't disconnect anything yourself. It just helps to know what's in the room before the cabinets start coming off.
- Which appliances are staying and which are going
- Whether the stove runs on gas or electric
- Whether a dishwasher, disposal or fridge water line ties into the sink plumbing
- Where the water shutoff valves are, if you know
- Whether any appliance still works
Kitchen Demo vs. Haul-Away in Allentown, PA
Only pay for the job you actually need.
A haul-away is enough if
- The cabinets and counters are already out
- Your remodeler is doing the tear-out and only needs the debris gone
- The old stove or fridge is already unhooked and pulled from the wall
That's remodel debris pickup, and it costs less. If your remodeler's bid already includes demolition, check that first so you don't pay twice.
remodel debris pickup →You need demolition if
- The cabinets are still screwed to the wall
- The sink is still plumbed in
- You want drywall or plaster opened up
- There's a stone countertop or a tile floor set in mortar to break up
Most junk haulers stop there. A careless tear-out can crack a water line, nick wiring in the wall, or gouge the subfloor, and then there's a plumber or a flooring bill before the new kitchen even starts.

Heavy Kitchen Debris Removal in Allentown, PA
Stone counters, cast iron sinks, plaster and tile set in mortar are the heavy part of a kitchen. A kitchen can fill a truck by weight before it fills it by space, which is why we price it after we see it.
Some weight hides until the room is open. Nobody can see an extra layer of old flooring, thick plaster or a mortar bed behind the backsplash until it’s exposed.
Lumber, metal and masonry go to Revolution Recovery for recycling.

Allentown, PA Kitchen Demolition Questions
How long does kitchen demolition take?
Most kitchens come out in one visit. A full gut takes longer than cabinets and counters.
Do I need to be home?
Someone should be reachable that day, in case the crew has a question.
Can I keep some of the cabinets or appliances?
Yes. Point them out before we start and we set them aside.
What happens to cabinets and appliances in good shape?
Solid cabinets and working appliances go to Goodwill and area churches instead of the landfill.
Do you take stone countertops?
Yes. Granite, quartz and tile tops all go with the rest of the kitchen.
Do the walls have to come down?
No. If new drywall is going over the old walls, you may not need them opened at all. That's labor and debris you skip.
Do you work on basement or second-floor kitchens?
Yes. Every cabinet box, stone top and cast iron sink gets carried on those stairs, so John is on site and the heavy pieces get planned before anything moves.
How much does kitchen demolition cost?
We price kitchens in person. The minimum on any job is $150. Details are on our pricing page.
