I created this blog because I commonly hear customers asking the question, “Should I have my new floors installed before or after my cabinets are installed?”
This blog should help you have a better understanding of both options and which will be best for your project.
Other contractors may have a different opinion on this matter.
Tile, hardwood, marble, and linoleum are good options to be installed under the cabinets.
Floating floors or vinyl plank flooring.
If you have installed hardwood flooring underneath your cabinets, it is recommended that you put at least 1 coat on your floors before cabinet installations. This will seal and protect them from moisture. Then the cabinets can be installed. Then the final coat of finish can be put down.
Summary:
The decision to install your flooring before or after your cabinet will be based on your budget, flooring type, and timeline.
