Kitchen Demolition Cost Montreal 2026 – Prices & Timelines

Demolition is the most critical step of your renovation. Poor demolition can damage your plumbing, cut essential electrical wires, or dust up your entire home.

In Montreal, our homes have character. Whether you’re in the Plateau (lath and plaster) or the West Island (glued tile), we offer surgical stripping services. We leave the space “Ready for the Carpenter”.

Don’t start your renovations in a cloud of dust

Most contractors view demolition as a brutal task. They break cabinets and let dust invade your rooms. We do things differently.

We consider stripping to be building surgery. We specialize in removing heavy elements (granite islands, load-bearing walls) without damaging the mechanical systems you need to keep.

• ✅ Corridor Protection: We install Correx (rigid plastic) on your floors before even entering.
• ✅ Zone Isolation: We seal off the kitchen with ZIP-WALL plastic barriers.
• ✅ No Surprises: We cleanly expose the structure so your renovator can start immediately.

The Démo Prép “White Glove” Protocol

We have developed a 4-step process specifically for occupied homes in Greater Montreal.

1. Protection (The Fortress)

Before a single tool touches your cabinets, we protect the access path. Your stairs and corridors are covered. We seal the air returns (HVAC) to prevent dust from traveling through your ducts.

2. Securing (Isolation)

We locate and shut off water valves. We remove the sink and dishwasher and immediately “cap” (plug) the drains. Electricity is secured.

3. Extraction (The Heavy Work)

Cabinets are disassembled. Stone countertops are safely removed. Tile is removed with specialized jackhammers. We never leave piles of debris on your lawn. Everything goes directly into our trucks.

4. Finishing (Ready to Build)

We remove all nails (“de-nailing”), sweep the subfloor, and use an industrial vacuum. Your kitchen is ready for installation.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the work take?

A standard kitchen is usually demolished in 1 to 2 days. For complex projects (load-bearing walls, plaster), allow 3 days.

Do you salvage the cabinets?

If your cabinets are in good condition and you wish to donate them, we can perform a careful disassembly. Mention it when requesting a quote!

What if you find asbestos?

We are trained to identify risks (vermiculite, black mastic). If we find a suspicious material, we secure the area and guide you to the appropriate tests.
