How to Demolish a Kitchen Wall
More in Kitchen
Step 1: Remove Dishwasher
Turn off power at the breaker box, then disconnect appliances and cut the water-supply line. Remove the dishwasher, followed by the range, using an appliance dolly, if necessary.
Step 2: Remove Sink
Unscrew the cabinets from the wall and remove. Remove the sink. For large banks of cabinets, pry off the countertop first.
Step 3: Remove Drywall
Pound holes in the drywall with a hammer and then pull it off in chunks.
Step 4: Remove Metal Studs
Remove the metal studs from the track. You may need to unscrew some of them; others can easily be knocked out of place.
Note: Metal studs are typical for commercial construction, especially a residential high-rise building, because they're both easy to install and fire resistant.
