Kitchen demolition in Reno

Dominic does kitchen demolition in Reno and the wider Reno-Tahoe area, pulling out an old kitchen piece by piece and taking all of it off the property. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470. A kitchen tear-out is heavier and more mixed than most loads, with stone, wood, metal and appliances all in one room. Cabinet boxes come off the wall in sections, countertops come up in slabs, and the sink, range and dishwasher all have to go somewhere. Then there's the flooring, the backsplash and a pile of trim with nails still in it. It all leaves the house, and the room is ready for whoever builds the new one.

If you're getting ready for a remodel, you want the old kitchen gone before the contractor or the cabinet installer shows up. If you're turning over a rental, you want the dated kitchen cleared so the unit can be redone and rented again. Everything from the countertops down to the floor goes on the trailer, carried straight out of the kitchen, so the remodel crew starts in a bare room. If nothing needs tearing out and the cabinets are already stacked in the garage, that pile is a remodel debris removal job instead.

What comes out in a kitchen demolition?

The cabinets, the countertops and anything else the new kitchen won't reuse, down to the backsplash and the old flooring. The range, the fridge and the dishwasher usually go in the same load. If it's only the appliances going, appliance removal and disposal is the page for that.

Stone or tile tops are dense and heavy, while a fridge is bulky but mostly air, and particle board cabinets break apart as they come down. Since the price follows trailer space, a slab of granite packs into a small spot and the fridge still claims its corner. A photo of the whole room lets him size up that mix before he quotes it.

If you're keeping the fridge for the new layout, say so with the photos and it stays. Pieces you've already pulled out go in the same load as the tear-out, so the pile in the driveway leaves with the rest of the kitchen.

How does a kitchen demolition job go from the first text to the last load?

It starts with photos and ends with a walkthrough. You send pictures of the kitchen and say what needs to go. A whole kitchen sometimes gets an in-person quote instead, because pictures miss what's hiding behind a long run of cabinets. When the price works for you, he books a day and gives you a 30 minute to one hour arrival window. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470.

Before anything comes off the wall, he explains the work. Each cabinet, slab and appliance gets walked out to the trailer as it comes loose. If the kitchen is up a flight of stairs, he carries it all down and out. After the last load leaves, he cleans up the kitchen and walks the empty room with you. On a rental, the pictures can come from whoever manages the unit.

How much does kitchen demolition cost?

It costs at least $80, and past that the price follows how much trailer space your old kitchen fills. A small kitchen with laminate counters takes less room than a big one with stone tops, a tile floor and every appliance going. Get the whole room into your pictures and the quote that comes back covers the entire tear-out. The quote stands unless the kitchen turns out bigger than your photos showed, so a pantry wall of cabinets nobody mentioned would change it.

His figure already covers the carrying, the drive and the disposal. Dump fees are folded into it, not billed on top. If photos can't show enough, an in-person quote is the other way to go. Cash, check, Venmo, Zelle and credit or debit cards all work for paying him. There's more on how loads are priced for every kind of job.

Where does an old kitchen go after it's torn out?

To a few places, sorted by what each piece is. Anything still usable is set aside for donation first, with Goodwill as the first stop. A run of cabinets with years left in it is the kind of piece that gets set aside. Steel sinks, the old range and any metal shelving head to a scrap yard, where the metal is recycled.

What's left is the real trash. The busted laminate, drywall chunks, ripped-up flooring and split cabinet boxes ride to the Stead landfill or the Carson City landfill. The half-used paint cans from the last time those walls were painted end up at Greymar for disposal instead. Sorting all that is his part of the job, so leave the pile mixed right there in the kitchen.

What can't go on the trailer from a kitchen job?

Asbestos is the one an old kitchen is most likely to hide, in the flooring or the glue under it, and he won't take it. If you think it might be there, say so before anything is booked.

Pests come up too. Mention mice or roaches nesting behind the cabinets when you send the pictures, because anything with bed bugs or pests can't go. He won't haul medical or biohazard waste on a kitchen job or any other. The rest of the room, heavy stone and old appliances included, can go. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470.
