to guy that mentioned eariler,
When the cabs are in how do you change the floors?
Take out the cabinets!
Most cabinets SHOULD be installed with screws. nails could just pull
apart.
If you are worried that your cabinet installers and appliance
installers are going to scratch your new floors, get someone else!! if
they don't care about your floors, do you think they will care if your
cabs are installed properly? think of it. If someone doesn't give a
sht about your floors, isn't their work also look like they don't give
a hoot about your installed cabinets.
Choose another contractor! if its cousin joe installing them as a good
favor~~ think twice too, would you tell cousin joe that you didn't
like his work so he should come back and fix them? What if it was a
cash job... do you think they will warranty their work?

my vote, floors then cabs then appliances. Watch TV... no pros do it
any other way.
