That's assuming the demo crew know how to remove things properly. I
always
cringe when I watch the DIY kitchen shows and see clueless DIYers
removing
countertops and cabinets with a SLEDGEHAMMER. Unless they were installed
very strangely, they should just unscrew from whatever they were mounted
to.

Screws? Ha. You're more likely to face 1000 nails that are driven
extra deep or covered with formica and adhesive.

I had to remove a cabinet in my kitchen to make space for a full sized
fridge, and it was screwed to the wall, no goo. And if there was a
shortcut that could have been taken, I bet the PO would have taken it.

I've never, ever encountered a kitchen the cabinets and counters nailed
on/down, and I've helped more than 10 friends rehab their old houses.

If it's supported properly on the floor or screwed into a 2x4, why on earth
would you want/need it glued as well? These things are supposed to be
removable/moveable, after all.
