Install Wood Floors Before or After Kitch Cabinets?
As part of my kitchen remodeling, I am having an installer (not me!)
put in hardwood flooring. Its the same boards that run in the hall and dining room. To avoid dinging and scratching the floor, I had always thought of installing floor cabs and appliances BEFORE calling in the floor installer. In other words, have the floor be the LAST job. The appliances and cabs will sit on 3/4" plywood to get them up to final floor height. But I just realized that if I take this approach, the installer will have no way to nail under the recessed portion of the cab! No room to get the nailer underneath and nail that end of the board. This is probably not an issue for tile floor installation. Is my logic correct? When installing wood flooring, what's the proper sequence? --Jeff |
