Countertop removal is a critical first step in kitchen and bathroom remodels. Those old laminate counters, dated tile surfaces, or even granite you’re upgrading from, they all need to come out before new countertops can be installed. But removing countertops is harder than it looks, especially when they’re glued, screwed, and sealed to cabinets.

Granite and quartz countertops are particularly challenging. A typical kitchen granite countertop weighs 400-600 pounds or more. It’s attached with adhesive, often in multiple sections that need to be carefully separated. Dropping a piece means shattered stone and potential cabinet damage. Laminate and tile are lighter but create significant debris and require careful detachment from bases.

Tucson Junk Removal provides complete countertop removal services. We disconnect sinks and fixtures, detach countertops from cabinets, and remove all materials. Granite comes out in sections when possible for recycling. Tile and laminate are demolished and hauled. Backsplashes can be removed at the same time if you’re replacing those too.

Whether you’re a homeowner doing a DIY remodel or a contractor who needs countertop removal handled separately, we clear the way for your new surfaces. We provide countertop removal throughout the Tucson metro area, including countertop removal in Casas Adobes, Oro Valley, Marana, and surrounding communities.
