Restaurant and Retail Demolition in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Commercial & Industrial

Restaurant and Retail Demolition

Kitchens, hoods, bars, booths, shelving and storefronts removed from restaurants and shops, leaving a clean space for the next concept.

Restaurants and shops change hands quickly in a city like Nashville, and a new concept cannot start until the old one is gone. Commercial kitchens, grease hoods, walk-in coolers, bars, booths and storefronts are heavy, specialized and often tied into plumbing, gas and ventilation.

We walk the space with you or your design team and list what comes out, what is salvaged and what stays. We coordinate gas, electric, plumbing and refrigeration disconnects with the right trades, then remove equipment, hoods, ductwork, millwork and finishes in a planned order. Heavy equipment is rigged out safely, grease-contaminated material is handled correctly and the space is left swept and ready for the new build-out.

Kitchens and equipment

Hoods, ranges, fryers, coolers and walk-ins are heavy and connected to many systems. We disconnect and remove them without damaging floors and walls you plan to keep.

Grease and sanitation

Grease ducts and floors need careful handling. We plan cleanup and disposal and keep contaminated material out of other debris.

Storefronts and signs

Old storefronts, awnings and signage can be removed and the opening protected until the new storefront is ready.

Resale and salvage

Kitchen equipment, fixtures and shelving often have resale value. We can set aside items for you or a buyer before demolition.
