Why Hire Pros for Kitchen Demolition?
It’s More Work Than It Looks
Kitchen demolition might seem simple at first glance, but it can get tricky fast. Cabinetry can be stubborn, pipes can break, and hidden wiring can cause serious issues if disturbed.
Every Kitchen Comes With Surprises
Older homes may have layers of flooring, outdated wiring, or unexpected water lines behind the walls. Tearing things out without a plan can lead to damaged walls, floors, or plumbing.
Tools and Safety Matter
Proper demolition requires the right tools pry bars, circular saws, protective gear and the skill to use them. Rushing the job or using the wrong method can cause injury or damage.
Good Demo Makes the Renovation Easier
A clean, careful tear-out means less prep work for the build that follows. Leaving the space tidy and damage-free sets the next crew up for a smooth start.
What We Remove in a Kitchen Demo
No two kitchens are built the same, but we’re ready for whatever you’ve got. Our kitchen demo service includes:
- Upper and lower cabinets
- Countertops (laminate, granite, butcher block, and more)
- Backsplashes and drywall
- Sinks and plumbing connections
- Flooring (tile, vinyl, or wood)
- Appliances (if not being reused)
- Kitchen islands or built-ins
- Light fixtures and range hoods

Big Phil’s Kitchen Demolition Process in Maple Ridge BC -Step By Step
We’ve torn out a lot of kitchens over the years, and we’ve got it down to a solid routine. Here’s how our crew gets the job done safe, clean, and ready for your next step.
1. Shut Off Utilities
Before we touch anything, we make sure the power, water, and gas to the kitchen are turned off. Keeps everyone safe and avoids any damage during the tear-out.
2. Clear the Space
We’ll ask you to empty cabinets, clear counters, and unplug appliances before we arrive. That way, we can jump right in and keep things moving.
3. Remove Appliances
If the stove, fridge, or dishwasher are going, we’ll disconnect them and haul them out. If they’re staying, we’ll work around them and keep them protected.
4. Take Down Cabinets and Counters
We start at the top and work our way down, upper cabinets first, then lowers, then the counters. We unscrew, pry, or cut as needed without wrecking your walls or floors.
5. Remove Backsplash and Wallboard
If there’s tile or backsplash, we break it up and remove it. If the drywall’s damaged or needs to go, we cut it out clean and haul it with the rest of the junk.
6. Rip Up the Floor (If Needed)
If you’re redoing the floors, we take out old tile, vinyl, or wood. We don’t leave behind nails, sharp edges, or broken pieces. Just a clear, solid surface.
7. Cleanout and Load the Truck
We sweep up the dust, bag the debris, and load everything into our truck. You’re left with a clean, empty kitchen ready for your contractor to step in and build the new one.
Kitchen Demolition Pricing: Clear, Fair, and All-In
Kitchen demo jobs aren’t all the same. Some come apart easy. Others take a bit more time, care, and cleanout. At Big Phil’s, we price each job based on what’s actually involved so you’re only paying for the work that gets done.
Here’s what can affect the cost:
Size of the Kitchen
Smaller kitchens are quicker to demo than big ones with islands, wall-to-wall cabinets, or built-in appliances. More stuff to tear out usually means more labour.
Type of Materials
Some materials lift out easy. Others don’t. Laminate counters and kitchen cabinets come off quick. Stone tops, tile backsplashes, or heavy flooring? That takes more time and more tools.
Access to the Space
Tight hallways, stairwells, or upper floors can slow things down. We factor that into the quote upfront so you’re not caught off guard later.
Debris and Cleanout
All our pricing includes hauling and cleanout. But if there’s a big load or we’re hauling out heavier debris like tile or stone, that can affect the final price but we’ll tell you that upfront.
Once you’ve got the quote, that’s it. No added charges. No funny business. Just one honest price for the whole job.

Kitchen Demo Maple Ridge BC – Frequently Asked Questions
How much does kitchen demolition cost in Maple Ridge?
It depends on how big the kitchen is and what needs to come out. Most jobs land somewhere between a few hundred and a couple thousand bucks. We’ll take a look and give you a free quote before anything starts.
Do I need permits for kitchen demolition in Maple Ridge?
Not usually. For most tear-outs, no permit is needed. If you’re moving walls or changing plumbing or electrical, your contractor may need one. We just handle the demo, you don’t need a permit for that part.
How long does it take to demo a kitchen?
Most full kitchen demos take about a day. If it’s a smaller job or just a few things coming out, it might only take a few hours. Heavier materials like stone or tile can take longer, but we’ll let you know ahead of time.
Do you remove flooring during kitchen demo?
Yes, we can take out flooring too. That includes tile, vinyl, wood, or laminate. Just tell us what you want gone and we’ll make it happen.
Do you take away all the demo debris?
Yes. We haul everything cabinets, countertops, tile, drywall, flooring, you name it. Once we’re done, the kitchen’s cleared out and cleaned up so your reno crew can get started.
What should I do before you start the kitchen demo?
Take your stuff out of the cabinets, unplug any appliances, and make sure there’s a clear path to the kitchen. If anything needs to be shut off, like water or gas, we’ll help you figure that out.
Can you do a partial kitchen demo?
Yes, no problem. We can take out just the parts you don’t need like cabinets, counters, or the floor and leave the rest. Just point out what’s staying, and we’ll work around it.
What parts of the kitchen do you remove during demo?
We take out everything that needs to go, base cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplashes, appliances, and more. If it’s part of the demo, we’ll tear it out and haul it away.
Can I do the kitchen demo myself with tools like a utility knife or sledgehammer?
You can, but kitchen demo is hard work, and it’s easy to hit a pipe or wire if you’re not careful. Even with a utility knife, hammer, or sledgehammer, a DIY tear-out can go wrong fast. We’ve got the tools, the know-how, and the crew to do it safely.
Do I need to prep anything before demo starts?
It helps to turn off power at the breaker box, lay down drop cloths if you’re keeping nearby floors clean, and clear a path to the work area. If your kitchen remodeling plans involve keeping studs or reusing anything, let us know before we start. We’ll take care of the disposal after the job’s done.
