About Durabilt GC: Kitchen Demolition Experts in Staten Island, NY

Demolition can look simple, but one wrong cut can damage a pipe, wire, or wall, leading to a costly repair, which is exactly why so many homeowners search for kitchen demolition services near me instead of doing it themselves. Durabilt GC has served Staten Island homeowners since 1995, with Kitchen teardown as one of the first steps in nearly every renovation we handle.

We’re a licensed and insured general contractor, so we make sure every demolition is done safely and follows local codes. Before any work begins, our team checks for hidden plumbing, electrical, or structural issues behind the walls. Once the old kitchen is demolished, we can start your new kitchen remodel right away, so you don’t need to hire another company for the rebuild.

Kitchen Demolition & Gut Renovation Services | Durabilt GC

Our Kitchen Demolition Services

Every kitchen gut renovation is different. It depends on what needs to come out and what’s staying behind. Here’s what our team handles for every project, whether you’re still comparing kitchen gut renovation services or ready to book.

Cabinet & Countertop Removal

We carefully remove old cabinets and countertops without damaging the walls or flooring behind them. This step clears the space for whatever comes next, whether that’s new cabinetry, new countertops, or a full layout change.

Appliance Removal

We safely disconnect each appliance before removing it, whether it’s a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, or something else. Gas and electrical lines get properly capped or shut off, so nothing is left unsafe once the appliance is gone. Refrigerators and other units with refrigerant get handled according to EPA disposal rules, not just tossed in a dumpster.

Read more →

Flooring Removal

We remove old tile, vinyl, or hardwood down to the subfloor. Each type of flooring comes up differently. Tile often needs to be chipped away, while vinyl and hardwood can usually be removed in larger sections. Once the subfloor is exposed, we check it for any damage so problems can be fixed before the new flooring goes in.

Wall Removal

Opening up a kitchen sometimes means removing a wall between rooms. Before we take it down, we check if it’s load-bearing, since that can change how the work needs to be done and whether extra support or a permit is needed.

Salvage & Deconstruction

If you’d rather donate usable cabinets, appliances, or fixtures than throw them out, let us know before we start. We can coordinate with local donation programs so your materials get a second life instead of ending up in a dumpster.

Read more →

Debris Hauling & Disposal

Once we’re done, we haul away all the debris and take care of the disposal. We leave your kitchen clean, clear, and ready for the next step, so you don’t have to worry about any leftover mess.

Tim wass very easy to communicate with… however his estimate is on the higher side compared to other contractors on Staten Island for a bathroom remodel. He claims to be fair in pricing but I was afraid he would nit pick on things throughout the remodel that would add more cost to an already expensive pricing structure of his.

My wife and I are so incredibly happy with the two bathrooms we had remodeled by Tim and the Durabilt Team! Tim is the best, he is so kind and friendly and helps you with every aspect of the project. Tim's prices are very reasonable compared to the competition, and the quality of his teams work is top notch. My neighbors were so impressed with his work that they are also signing up for him to remodel their bathrooms. Thanks Tim, looking forward to having you remodel our kitchen in the near future!

Amazing work. Tim and his company finished the bathroom so fast and it came out beautiful. I would recommend him 10/10 especially that he ensured that everything is ADA specifications for the elderly. Also, my parents' bathroom looks better than mine now. lol. Will be going back to him for future projects

Tim and his team did an amazing job remodeling my basement and bathroom. They worked professionally, fast, and took care of all imperfections. If anything didn't look right, they quickly fixed it. They did not cut any corners and did top notch work. They got the job done in one week and the basement and bathroom could not look better. Tim also made sure that his team wouldn't leave the job site/finish the job unless we were 100% satisfied with his work. He is an outstanding contractor, very personable, highly professional, and offers an excellent service. I would highly recommend over all other contractors on the island. His prices were far better then other contractors on the island and he was more personable as well. Just an all around nice guy...a very rare thing to find these days; especially with contracts.

FIVE STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tim of Durabilt and his team did an excellent job renovating our kitchen. His experience and expertise provided us with options for our kitchen space that were affordable and the team’s craftsmanship brought those ideas to life. Tim was always responsive in returning phone calls when we had questions. He provided information and reassurance that we would be completely satisfied with the finished product and we couldn’t be happier with our newly renovated kitchen. We are grateful to have found a trustworthy and talented team of professionals and we very highly recommend Tim and his team.

Tim and his brother came to repair some holes created under my cabinets after a leak. They were able to reposition my exterior door/storm door and replaced the weather stripping which effectively saved me from having to purchase 2 new doors. They came on time, were extremely knowledgeable, worked efficiently and did not leave behind any mess. Communication regarding the jobs was clear and it was truly a pleasure working with them. A few weeks later Tim’s son came to replace my circuit breaker and it was great working with him as well. I would highly recommend them for any of your home projects/renovations!!

Really happy with the work Tim did for me. The pricing was upfront and honest from day one, no BS, which I really appreciated — no surprises along the way. They showed upon time, which is rare these days! Highly recommended to those who valued their time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Old kitchen removal usually costs around $500 to $2,500, or about $5 to $12.50 per square foot. The final price depends on the size of your kitchen, what needs to be removed, and whether any walls are coming down. The best way to know what your project will cost is to get an on-site estimate and a clear written quote.

Most kitchen demolitions take one to three days. The exact timeline depends on the size of the kitchen, how much needs to be removed, and whether any walls are coming down.

It depends on what you’re removing. In NYC, simple work like removing or replacing kitchen cabinets may not require a permit. But if the job involves a load-bearing wall, plumbing, gas lines, or electrical work, permits may be required.

Yes. If your cabinets or appliances are still in usable condition, let us know before demolition starts. We can set them aside so they can be donated instead of being thrown away.
