Countertop removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Countertop removal is a critical first step when renovating kitchens or bathrooms across Memphis neighborhoods like Midtown, Downtown, and East Memphis. Whether you're replacing outdated laminate surfaces with new quartz, or removing heavy granite slabs that require specialized equipment, EvoNorth Junk Removal provides fast, clean extraction services. We work in residential homes throughout Memphis, Bartlett, Arlington, Lakeland, and as far as Olive Branch and Horn Lake, handling projects of any size from single-bathroom vanities to large commercial kitchen installations.

Our countertop removal process begins with a same-day or next-day site assessment to evaluate countertop material, square footage, and cabinet condition. We disconnect plumbing and utilities as needed, carefully extract the countertop in manageable sections, remove all adhesive residue and caulking, and haul 100% of debris to our licensed facility. The process typically takes 4-8 hours for standard residential kitchens, with complete cleanup and floor protection throughout. We service every corner of the Memphis metro, from West Memphis and Marion to Southaven and Nesbit, coordinating around your contractor's schedule.

Our Countertop removal Process

1

Free Estimate and Site Assessment

Schedule a free walkthrough inspection in your Memphis, Germantown, or Collierville home. Our crew photographs the countertop material, measures square footage, checks for plumbing attachments, and assesses cabinet condition. We provide a same-day quote via phone or email within 2 hours of the visit.

2

Preparation and Utility Disconnection

On removal day, we protect your floors with cardboard, turn off water supply if sink must be removed, and disconnect the faucet and P-trap plumbing. This prep phase takes 15-30 minutes and ensures no water damage or cabinet harm during extraction.

3

Countertop Extraction and Debris Removal

Using pry bars, reciprocating saws, and oscillating sanders, we carefully extract the countertop in 2-4 sections depending on material. Granite and quartz slabs require reinforced equipment; laminate and tile are removed more quickly. All debris is loaded directly into our junk removal truck for immediate hauling.

4

Surface Cleaning and Final Inspection

Once the countertop is removed, we scrape away remaining adhesive, silicone, and caulk residue using carbide scrapers and solvents. The cabinet surface is wiped clean and inspected for damage. Final cleanup takes 30-45 minutes, leaving your kitchen ready for the new countertop installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does countertop removal cost in Memphis?

Typical countertop removal ranges from $400-$800 depending on material type, square footage, and plumbing complexity. Granite removal costs more due to weight and equipment needs. Most Memphis homes fall in the $500-$700 range. Call (901) 530-9375 for a free quote.

How long does countertop removal take?

Standard residential kitchen countertop removal takes 4-8 hours from start to final cleanup. Bathroom vanity countertops can be completed in 2-3 hours. Large commercial installations or multiple countertops may require a full day. We schedule back-to-back appointments in Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville to maximize efficiency.

Will countertop removal damage my cabinets?

No-our experienced crews use proper extraction techniques and carbide scrapers to remove adhesive without gouging cabinet wood or laminate surfaces. We protect your countertop surface during the removal process. If cabinet damage is pre-existing, we document it with photos before starting work.

Do you handle plumbing disconnection for sink removal?

Yes, we turn off water supply, disconnect the P-trap and faucet lines, and cap the plumbing when the sink is removed with the countertop. If major plumbing work is needed, we coordinate with your plumber or recommend local Memphis contractors we trust.

What is your debris hauling warranty?

We guarantee 100% of countertop debris is removed from your property and hauled to a licensed disposal facility. If any debris is missed, we return within 48 hours at no charge. Our service area covers Memphis, Arlington, Collierville, Germantown, Bartlett, and surrounding areas.

Do I need a permit for countertop removal?

Countertop removal alone typically does not require a Shelby County permit unless major plumbing or structural work is involved. Your contractor will pull permits for new countertop installation. We handle all debris hauling compliance and will notify you if any permit issues arise.
