Should I Install Kitchen Cabinets Before Flooring?
Installing kitchen cabinets before flooring can save material and protect floating floors, but it may create seams, height mismatches, and extra cutting. The right sequence depends on your flooring type, kitchen layout, budget, and how long you expect each element to last. Flooring-first gives a continuous look and simpler appliance alignment, while cabinets-first is often safer for click-lock or budget projects. Compare the trade-offs and confirm installation requirements before committing.
