Starting prices, what moves them up, and what doing it yourself really costs in Fairfax and Loudoun — updated for 2026.

By Ahmet (Matt) Uslu · November 2026
Kitchen demolition in Northern Virginia with DMV Go Junk starts at $899 for a full demo of a small ground-floor kitchen with the utilities already disconnected, and kitchen debris removal starts at $399 when the demo is already done and everything is on the ground floor with easy access. Floor and access, cabinet count, countertop material, backsplash and appliances move the price up. Send the details and photos and we’ll call you back with a firm, locked price.
Most kitchen demolition companies won’t put a number online, because no two kitchens are the same. That’s true — but you should still know where the price starts and what pushes it up before you ask for a quote. Here’s exactly how we price kitchen jobs, plus the real cost of the do-it-yourself route in Fairfax and Loudoun County.
| Job | Starting price | What the starting price assumes |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen debris removal | From $399 | The demo is already done; debris is ready to load on the ground floor with easy access |
| Full kitchen demolition | From $899 | Small ground-floor kitchen, water and electrical already disconnected, no extra difficulty |
| Kitchen cabinet removal only | Quoted from photos | Depends on cabinet count and how easy they are to reach and carry out |
| Countertop removal only | Quoted from photos | Depends on size and material — stone takes more people and time than laminate |
The starting prices describe the easiest version of each job. These are the things that add work — and the reason we ask about each one on our quote form:
No travel fee anywhere we work, including DC and Maryland. No same-day fee, no hourly billing and no cancellation fee. Loading, hauling and disposal are part of the price we quote — and under our Price-Lock Promise, the price we quote is the price you pay, even if the job takes longer on our end.
Picking the right job type is the easiest way to keep the cost down. If your contractor or a cabinet company is already tearing the kitchen out, you only need kitchen debris removal — the cheapest option, starting at $399. If you’re keeping the countertop or the cabinets, ask for cabinet removal only or countertop removal only and we’ll price just that. If the whole kitchen has to go, full kitchen demolition from $899 covers the tear-out and the haul-away in one visit, so there’s one appointment and one invoice instead of two companies.
Tearing out a kitchen yourself can save money if you have the time, a truck and a couple of strong helpers. Just count the disposal side honestly:
On top of disposal, add your own time: taking apart and carrying out a kitchen is usually a full day or more of heavy work, and a stone countertop is a job for several people, not one.
County rates are set by each county and can change — check the official pages above before you go.
The more we know up front, the faster we can call you back with a firm price. Our kitchen quote form asks for exactly this:
With DMV Go Junk, full kitchen demolition starts at $899 for a small ground-floor kitchen with the water and electrical already disconnected and no extra difficulty. Kitchen debris removal — when the demo is already done and everything is on the ground floor with easy access — starts at $399. Stairs or tight access, more cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, backsplash removal and appliance removal move the price up.
Kitchen cabinet removal on its own is quoted from photos, because it depends on how many cabinets there are and how easy they are to get out. As part of a full kitchen demolition, cabinets are included in the starting price of $899; if they’re already off the wall and just need hauling, kitchen debris removal starts at $399.
Countertop removal is quoted from photos. Laminate is light and quick; quartz and granite are heavy — a standard stone countertop can weigh 800 to 1,200+ pounds — so they take more people and more time to carry out safely, which raises the price.
Sometimes, if you have the time, a truck and help. But Fairfax County limits residents to about 2 cubic yards of construction debris per household per day at its disposal sites, at $109 per ton, while a standard kitchen remodel produces roughly 8 to 12 cubic yards — so it usually means several trips over several days. In Loudoun County, construction debris is $85 per ton at the county landfill.
No. We don’t charge travel fees anywhere we work — Northern Virginia, Washington DC or Maryland — and there’s no same-day fee or cancellation fee either.
No. Under our Price-Lock Promise, the price we quote is the price you pay. That’s why we ask for details and photos up front — so the quote already accounts for things like stone countertops, stairs or connected utilities.
