Countertop Removal Made Easy
Tearing out old countertops can be messy, heavy, and surprisingly risky for your cabinets, walls, and plumbing. When you work with Surface Solutions, you hand that headache off to a team that does this every day. We carefully disconnect sinks, loosen fasteners, and remove each section in a controlled way, so you’re not left with cracked cabinets, broken tile, or a surprise repair bill. From laminate and solid surface to natural stone and engineered materials, we know how each product is installed and the best way to safely remove it.
You won’t even have to worry about what to do with the debris – our crew handles the hauling, so you’re not renting a dumpster or trying to lift heavy slabs into your vehicle. We protect floors and walkways, lay down drop cloths where needed, and clean up dust and scraps before we leave. Because Surface Solutions also installs new countertops, we remove your existing counters with the next step in mind, making sure your cabinets are level, secure, and ready for templating or installation. The goal is simple: one smooth transition from “out with the old” to “ready for the new,” without you lifting a finger.
Our Process
Our Countertop Removal Process
Step 1
We start with a quick walkthrough of your kitchen, bath, bar, or other space, confirming what needs to be removed and how the countertops were originally installed. Then we’ll prep the workspace by protecting nearby surfaces and setting up a clear path in and out of your home.
Step 2
Next, we disconnect plumbing fixtures, unfasten the countertops from the cabinets, and carefully separate any backsplash areas. Each section is loosened methodically to avoid damaging your cabinetry, walls, tile, or appliances.
Step 3
Once the countertops are free, we safely lift and carry out each piece, using the right equipment and manpower for heavy materials like granite or quartz. We load everything into our vehicle so you don’t have to move or dispose of anything yourself.
Step 4
Before we leave, we sweep and tidy the work area, check your cabinets for stability, and make sure the space is ready for new countertops. If you’ve chosen Surface Solutions for new countertop installation, we’ll communicate next steps and keep the project running smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Countertop Removal
Can I remove my current countertops myself?
You can technically remove your countertops yourself, but many homeowners are surprised by how heavy, sharp, and awkward countertops are to handle. One wrong move can crack a cabinet, damage drywall, or even lead to injury. Professional removal protects your kitchen or bath and saves you from dealing with disposal, hidden fasteners, or unexpected plumbing issues while also keeping you and your family safe.
Can I replace my countertops without replacing my cabinets?
Yes. In most kitchens, bathrooms, bars, laundry rooms, and basement areas, we can remove your existing countertops and install new ones alongside your current cabinets. The key is that the cabinets are sturdy, level, and in good condition, which we’ll evaluate during the renovation process and discuss with you before moving forward. If your cabinets need an upgrade, we have you covered. We offer quick ship cabinets in several popular finishes, with delivery in just 10 days to keep your project moving.
How long does countertop removal take?
For a typical kitchen, countertop removal is usually completed in a few hours, often in the same general time window as installation day or as a scheduled visit before new countertops are measured. Smaller projects, like a bathroom vanity or bar top, are even faster. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe so you know exactly what to expect. We’re proud to have one of the fastest lead times in the area, so our clients can start enjoying their upgraded space as quickly as possible.
