Services
Kitchen demolition, item by item
Every kitchen demolition project is reviewed before work begins. The removal depth is defined clearly so the next contractor receives an accessible room with the agreed materials removed.
Cabinet & Countertop Removal
Selective removal of wall and base cabinets, pantry units, pull-outs, laminate, quartz, granite, butcher-block, and solid-surface countertops while protecting finishes that must remain.
Backsplash & Tile Demolition
Removal of ceramic, porcelain, glass, and stone backsplash, including backer board and loose setting material where included in the scope. Remaining wall surfaces are exposed for inspection before rebuilding.
Kitchen Flooring Removal
Removal of tile, vinyl plank, laminate, and hardwood flooring in the kitchen and connected eating areas. Underlayment and damaged subfloor sections can also be removed when included in the project scope.
Island & Built-In Demolition
Kitchen island framing, peninsula structures, built-in desks, wine racks, and custom millwork removed according to the approved plan.
Debris Hauling & Site Cleanup
Kitchen demolition waste is loaded, hauled away, and disposed of as part of the agreed scope. Dust control, floor protection, and final cleanup leave the room accessible for inspection and renovation work.

FAQ
Kitchen Demolition Questions
Common questions about kitchen gut-outs, pricing, timelines, appliances, permits, debris removal, and condo projects.
What is included in a kitchen demolition service?
The scope can include removal of cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, islands, soffits, appliance enclosures, and approved non-load-bearing partitions. Debris hauling and final cleanup can also be included.
How much does kitchen demolition cost in Toronto?
Pricing depends on kitchen size, cabinet count, countertop material, backsplash coverage, flooring type, access, demolition depth, disposal volume, and whether the property is a house, condo, or commercial space. An on-site assessment is the best way to establish an accurate quote.
How long does a kitchen demolition take?
The duration depends on kitchen size, material types, demolition depth, site access, building rules, utility coordination, and whether flooring, soffits, islands, or partitions are included.
Who disconnects the kitchen appliances?
Appliance and utility disconnects are confirmed before demolition. Gas, electrical, or plumbing work requiring a qualified trade must be completed by the appropriate professional before related materials are removed.
Can you remove only cabinets and countertops?
Yes. Selective kitchen demolition can remove cabinets, countertops, backsplash, an island, or a specific flooring area while protecting the finishes and rooms that must remain.
Do I need a permit for kitchen demolition in Toronto?
Permit requirements depend on the project scope. Removing finishes and cabinets may be treated differently from work involving structural walls, plumbing relocation, electrical changes, or significant layout alterations. The scope should be confirmed with the applicable municipality before work begins.
Can you complete kitchen demolition in a condo?
Yes. Condo kitchen demolition can be planned around building rules, approved work hours, elevator reservations, common-area protection, water shut-off coordination, parking, and debris removal procedures.
What happens if asbestos or another hazardous material is suspected?
Suspected hazardous materials should be assessed before they are disturbed. If testing confirms asbestos or another regulated material, it must be handled according to applicable requirements by appropriately qualified professionals.
