"I gave this man $3000 which was 33% of the job upfront. Was supposed to give him 33% at the halfway part And 34% upon completion. But when I went to my bathroom and realized you left drugs in my bathroom and I have small children. Not like that 3000 black and small cleaners caught easy and heâ s lucky he hasnâ t been charged with nothing. Only reason that happened is because I wouldnâ t pursue charges. He obviously is a drug addict and has a problem so maybe he should get help Possibly isnâ t the option maybe rehab is. If you paid for supplies, you got ripped off wait 10 years and it will all fall apart charges for certain stuff but buys different stuff so he can use the extra money to pick himself up drugs without nobody noticing, I am so terribly in grief over this. $3000 he ran off with how is Matt doing in business and not in a jail cell"

Demolitions FAQs
A professional kitchen demolition takes an average of eight hours (one working day) for standard projects. More complex jobs involving structural changes might require up to two days.
Factors that extend the timeline include discovering hidden damage, encountering hazardous materials, or removing load-bearing elements. DIY demolitions take considerably longer, often several days to a week, due to learning curves and limited equipment access.
Salvaging kitchen materials can be worthwhile if the components are in good condition. Cabinets, appliances, fixtures, and certain flooring types can be donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity or sold through online marketplaces.
This approach reduces landfill waste and may provide tax benefits or offset some demolition costs. However, careful removal takes more time, so weigh potential returns against the additional labor involved.
On demolition day, expect noise, dust, and temporary utility disruptions. Crews will systematically remove fixtures, cabinets, appliances, and targeted surfaces. Protective coverings should be installed to prevent dust from spreading to other areas.
The space will be unusable during this process, so plan alternative arrangements for food preparation. By completion, all designated elements will be removed and debris cleared, leaving a blank canvas for your renovation.
Removing load-bearing walls without professional assistance is extremely risky and not recommended. These walls support critical structural weight, and improper removal can cause ceiling sagging, floor damage, or even catastrophic collapse.
Professional projects require structural engineer assessment, proper temporary supports, permanent beam installation, and building permits. The safety risks and potential for expensive structural damage far outweigh any cost savings from DIY approaches.
