Cabinet Removal Services in IL
Cabinets have to come out before a real remodel can begin. Mistakes can damage walls, floors, and countertops. Surface Solutions handles cabinet removal across Illinois with care, so your space is clean and ready for whatever comes next.
Custom Cabinets
Cabinet Removal Made Easy
Ripping out old cabinets looks simple until you hit hidden screws, glued backs, or cabinets that were “built in place.” This is where Surface Solutions comes in. Our team is used to working in finished homes, so we plan each removal around protecting what’s staying: floors, ceilings, appliances, countertops, and nearby walls. We cover walkways, clear the work area, and review plumbing, electrical, and any connected pieces before we take out a single screw. Whether your cabinets are decades old or relatively new, we’ll remove them in an organized way, rather than smashing things apart and leaving you with extra repairs.
Our Process
Our Cabinet Removal Process
Step 1
We walk through your kitchen, bathroom, or bar with you, confirm which cabinets are coming out, and point out anything tied into plumbing, electrical, or countertops. Then we set up our workspace to protect nearby surfaces and create a safe path in and out of the renovation space.
Step 2
Next, we remove doors, drawers, and hardware so the boxes are lighter and easier to handle. We carefully cut caulk lines and locate screws or fasteners connecting the cabinets to each other and the wall.
Step 3
Once everything is loosened, we support each cabinet box and lower it in controlled sections, instead of yanking it off the wall. The units are carried out and loaded for disposal or reuse, keeping debris contained.
Step 4
We finish the removal process with a final sweep of the work area, check the walls and floors behind the cabinets, and make sure the space is ready for the next step of your project, whether that’s new cabinets, fresh paint, or updated countertops.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cabinet Removal
Can I remove my cabinets myself?
You can remove cabinets yourself, but it’s easy to underestimate how heavy, awkward, and tightly fastened cabinets really are. DIY removal can lead to torn drywall, damaged countertops, or even injury if a cabinet suddenly falls. Hiring a professional means the boxes come down safely, with less mess and fewer surprise repairs afterward.
Can I replace my cabinets without replacing my countertops?
In some kitchens, bathrooms, and bar areas, it’s possible to swap cabinets and keep the existing countertops, but it depends on how everything was installed. Countertops that are heavily glued, tiled into place, or custom-shaped around the old cabinets can be difficult to remove without damage. Surface Solutions can look at your space and explain what’s realistic before you decide on the next steps.
How long does cabinet removal take?
A typical kitchen can often be cleared in half a day to a full day, depending on size, age, and how the cabinets were built. Smaller projects, like a bathroom vanity or a bar, are usually much quicker. You’ll get a time estimate up front so you know how it fits into your remodel schedule.
