Kitchen Cabinet Removal Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction demolition unit cost for removal of kitchen cabinets.

Unit Size

One lineal foot of kitchen cabinets or other built-in cabinetry work.

Labor Costs

We figure a carpenter will be able to remove about 7 lineal feet of cabinets per hour. We also throw in a little laborer time for removing the units.

Use the total length of wall cabinets plus the total length of base cabinets.

For modern cabinet units, this cost will cover careful dismantling and removal so the cabinets can be reused at this location or elsewhere. It's an average cost that should also cover futzing with sink removal, dishwashers and other utilities and complications.

Removing older site-built cabinets may require additional time if you plan to reuse them. It really depends on the details of their construction.

If you are just smacking the cabinets out of there with no plans for reuse, you can reduce this cost considerably.

Material Costs

We throw in a smidgen of wrecking bar (one lost per 100 feet of cabinetry), which also helps to cover gloves, dust masks and other incidentals.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Enter the total length of wall cabinets plus the total length of base cabinets to be removed.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on quite a bit of remodeling project experience from Turtle Creek Construction.
