Donna C is correct.
base cabinets
What you start with does depends on what material you are working with. We put 4′ X 8′ sheets decorative boards for kitchen walls because I wanted something washable & not have to paint &/or wallpaper very often because of all the doorways, window & cabinets to work around. In this case,
1) the sub floor to kitchen done,
2) rough in electric & plumbing,
3) walls,
4) ceiling. When ceiling and walls finished,
5) finish electrical
6) wall cabinets up.
7) We used ceramic tiles, put tiles, grout & sealer in next.
9) counter,
10) finish plumbing
11) baseboard trims.
Ceramic tiles, don’t want to rescrub grout because you are working on walls or ceiling – - or have taped plastic to protect your flooring if wish to do in different order. You can have base cabinets put in before your tiles finished but now you have to cut the tiles to get good fit at cabinet.
Use common sense according to your specific plans.
You should take out the cabinets, paint, put the new cabinets up, then do the floor last.
Have fun!
You start on paper. Plan it out. And not just a plan, but a budget. You should have a good idea of what you are going to end up with, both plan and cost, before you swing a hammer.
But after that, you start with demo, rough in plumbing, electric, hvac, drywall repairs, then some people do it different ways. Some people put a first coat of paint on the walls, flooring, cabinets and trim, trim outs (plumbing, electric, HVAC) paint. That’s the easiest way. But some people will say trim, paint, floor, trim outs, touch up paint. Both ways have pro’s and con’s, but I prefer the former. It goes a lot quicker.
I am remodeling my kitchen now.
First you start with a plan and you decide how you want your new kitchen to look. You can work with a kitchen designer at many of the cabinet stores for free who can help you. Then once you have a plan begin pricing and estimating. Get at least 3 estimates for cabinets, installation, electrical, plumbing, painting, heating, flooring, appliances, counter tops, tiling, and whatever else you’ll be doing. Get an estimate for demolition. Make sure to check contractor references and make sure they are licensed and insured. Make a decision as to what cabinets and countertops and flooring you want. Then 1. demolish, 2. rough plumbing, 3. rough electrical, 4. drywall, 5. rough flooring, 6. installation of cabinets, 7. templating of countertops, 8. finish flooring, 9. installation of countertops, 10. finish plumbing/installation of appliances, 11. finish electrical, 12. finish painting, 13. enjoy your new kitchen!
Tear it out to the drywall and repair that first, then paint a primer coat, what happens next depends on the flooring, if using vinyl I cover the entire floor, if using anything else I go ahead and install my cabinets, wall hung first then base cabs, set the counter tops and the plumbing fixtures and any under cab lighting, install ceramic wall tiles, install trim, paint finish coat, and last install the flooring (unless vinyl sheet goods. Hope this helps
From the top down…. think for a second. Why would you put down a new floor and then drop stuff on it from above ?
Do the floor first and cover it up to protect it. Then do the walls. Then install the cabinets. Finally, the appliances.
