What this covers.
Demolition is the first working day of a new kitchen. The old cabinets, countertops and backsplash come out and the room is readied for what goes in. We handle the demolition on the kitchens we design and install.
What gets removed follows the design. Most jobs take out the base and wall cabinets, the countertops and the tile backsplash. The flooring comes out too when a new floor is part of the job, and a soffit above the wall cabinets sometimes comes down to make room for taller uppers.

The Difference
What to know before you choose.
An open kitchen is when older houses show what was behind the cabinets: a slow leak that has softened the subfloor under the sink, wiring that does not meet current code, or a soffit hiding a duct or plumbing vent that cannot move. These are easier to deal with while the room is open, and they are the reason to leave some slack in the schedule after demolition.
Water and gas to the kitchen are shut off and capped before the cabinets come out, and appliances are disconnected. Decide beforehand which appliances you are keeping, so they can be set aside.
Houses built before 1978 can have lead paint, and some older vinyl flooring and adhesives contain asbestos. If your house is that age, have the materials tested before demolition starts.
Plan to live without a kitchen for a while. A microwave and a small refrigerator set up in another room make the weeks between demolition and countertops much easier.

Demolition, answered.
How long does kitchen demolition take?
For a typical kitchen, removing the cabinets, counters and backsplash commonly takes a day or two. Taking out a soffit or old tile flooring adds time.
Do I need a permit to replace kitchen cabinets in Dallas?
Replacing cabinets and countertops in the same places generally does not need one. Moving plumbing, gas or electrical, or removing a wall, generally does. Farmers Branch, Carrollton and the other nearby cities set their own rules, so check with yours.
Can I keep my appliances?
Yes. Say which ones during the design, so the cabinets are ordered to fit them and they are set aside during demolition.
Can I stay in the house during demolition?
Most people do. Expect noise and dust near the kitchen, and keep children and pets out of the room.
