Cost Factors for Removing Cabinets
One potential way to save money on your kitchen remodeling project is to remove your cabinets yourself. If you don’t know what you’re doing, trying to take this on yourself could do more harm than good. When you’re getting quotes from contractors, keep in mind that the following things may affect your price:
How Your Kitchen Is Set Up
If your kitchen is set up in a way that forces contractors to spend more time in your home, you’ll pay more simply because of the added labor. Complex configurations include multiple gas lines, numerous appliances that need to be moved, and cabinets with an awkward design.
Hazardous Materials
If you own an older home, your kitchen might contain materials that need to be removed with extra caution. For example, if you have asbestos or lead paint, the people doing the work need to protect themselves. The additional personal protection equipment and steps needed to ensure the materials are disposed of responsibly add time and expense. Another thing that may increase your cost is mold, often found when pulling out fixtures in your home.
How Extensive Is the Job
Are you simply removing the cabinets, or do you want to remove your countertops and appliances too? If removing the cabinets is part of a more complex remodeling project, removing and disposing of these extra items increases the labor you’re paying for and what it costs to dispose of everything.
The Size of Your Kitchen
Larger kitchens require more labor. The amount of time required to complete the demolition process matters because labor is the most significant factor impacting your bottom line. The size and number of your cabinets are also factors because each kitchen has a different number of cabinets.
Choosing the Right Demolition Contractor
You should never hire someone to work on your home without receiving multiple estimates. You can take several steps to ensure you’re getting an accurate quote and will be working with honest professionals.
- Obtain quotes from around three contractors to compare prices. When you get a quote, ask specific questions to clarify whether there are any hidden fees or variables that could cost you more. Ask for the estimated labor time, waste removal cost, and added hazardous materials fees. Confirm that the estimate is the price you’re going to pay.
- Ask for each contractor’s credentials. Just because a contractor offers you a better price doesn’t mean they’re licensed and insured in Arizona. You may need to pay a little more just to ensure that the people performing the work are trained and qualified. The last thing you want is to need to hire a second contractor to clean up the first one’s mess.
- Don’t be afraid to verify the information. Quality contractors want you to check them out on Google, read customer reviews and check with the BBB to ensure they’re legitimate. They have nothing to hide and can provide referrals from happy customers on demand.
Regardless of whether you’re hiring someone to install your new kitchen cabinets, you’re free to remove your old cabinets yourself. This is only a good idea if you have experience with DIY home projects and know how to protect yourself if you discover mold, asbestos, or lead in your kitchen. That’s why most people prefer to hire someone else.
