Why pay someone else to demolish your kitchen when tearing everything down is the most fun part? Save some cash from that expensive remodel by doing your own demolition and providing the contractors with a blank slate to work with.
To tear down those cabinets, you'll need a cordless drill, hammer, pliers, flat bar, utility knife, wrecking bar, screwdriver, sledgehammer, and recip saw. Be sure to remove all appliances before you start, including the dishwasher, refrigerator, and range, as well as the sink. Shut off all electrical, water and gas lines in preparation for the new kitchen.
Check out the video above and the link below to see the process in action. If you have any cabinets or countertops that are salvageable, donate them to a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Just because the cabinets are older or out of style, doesn't mean they won't offer value to someone else.
