Unscrewed, not pulled off
Fixings are found and removed first, so the wall behind stays intact instead of coming away with the cabinet.
Cabinet installation
Cabinet removal and disposal in Louisville is straightforward work that goes wrong in expensive ways when it is rushed.
Cabinet removal and disposal in Louisville covers isolating anything connected, taking out the wall and base units, removing countertops and toe kicks, clearing the debris and hauling it away.
Walls and floors are protected first. The aim is a room that needs no repair work before the new cabinets arrive, since making good is what turns a cheap removal into an expensive one.
Where cabinets are sound and you want them reused, they can be taken out intact rather than broken up.
Fixings are found and removed first, so the wall behind stays intact instead of coming away with the cabinet.
Anything running into the cabinets is disconnected and made safe before removal rather than during it.
Everything leaves with us, so nothing sits in the garage or the driveway waiting for a trip to the tip.
Each stage is signed off before the next one starts.
We measure the room itself rather than working from the plan, because walls are rarely square and the plan is rarely what got built. Every opening gets checked.
You get a layout and a written estimate broken down by stage, so you can see what the doors cost against the boxes against the install. Free, nothing to sign.
Cabinetry is built to the measurements we took, in the wood, door style and finish you picked. Lead time depends on the scope and we tell you before you commit.
Scribed to the walls, levelled, and fixed properly. Hardware adjusted so every door and drawer sits straight before we leave.
Cabinets that come off the wall the wrong way take the wall with them.
Anyone replacing a kitchen or a run of built-in cabinetry. It is nearly always the first day of a larger job rather than something bought on its own.
It also comes up on houses being sold or let, where a dated built-in has to go and nothing is replacing it.
We check what is connected before touching anything: water to the sink, gas or power to appliances, and any wiring running through the cabinets. Live services get isolated by the relevant trade.
Countertops come off first, then wall cabinets, then bases. Fixings are found and unscrewed rather than levered, which is what keeps the plaster on the wall.
Everything is loaded as it comes out, and the room is swept and left clear before we leave.
This is priced as labor plus disposal, by the size of the run and by how much protection and making-good the room needs. Disposal charges depend on volume rather than weight for most of it.
Access matters more than people expect. A second-floor kitchen with a narrow stair is a longer day than a ground-floor one where the van can back up to the door.
Booking it with the installation usually costs less than treating it as a separate visit, since the same crew and the same van cover both.
Removal is normally booked alongside the fitting so the two run together. New cabinets going in afterwards is cabinet installation in Louisville, and flat-pack kitchens are IKEA kitchen cabinet installation.
If the existing cabinets are sound, taking them out may be the wrong call entirely, and cabinet refacing in Louisville is worth pricing first. We also fit custom closets in Louisville, and we work across the metro including cabinets in Lyndon.

Not if the fixings are found and unscrewed rather than the cabinets being levered off. Pulling them off takes lumps of plaster with them, and making that good costs more than the removal did.
Yes. It is loaded as it comes out, and the room is swept and left clear before we leave.
If they are sound and you want them reused, they can be taken out intact rather than broken up. That takes longer and it is worth saying up front.
Usually, yes. The same crew and the same van cover both, which costs less than treating them as separate visits.
We stay inside about 20 miles of Louisville, close enough to measure, template and install without the schedule slipping. These are the areas we cover most often.
