Where to start on kitchen remodel - walls, floor or cabinet?
Answers: In my experience (limited to a few remodels), the easiest approach is to first go and get rid of everything that isn't staying, do the wall work, then sculpture, then install the cabinet, and install flooring last if you are using wood laminate. Its a wast of money and time lay flooring underneath cabinets, and tile and laminate flooring is easier to fit after the cabinet are installed. With vinyl sheet flooring, its easier to roll out the sheet before installing the cabinet, and then place the cabinet on top of the unusual floor, or put the cabinets temporarily surrounded by place and trace the outline of the cabinets so you can trim the flooring.
The existing flooring can be departed in place as long as it is strongly adhere to the subfloor - its extremely difficult to get a smooth floor if you opening off the behind the times flooring. Pulling up the old flooring and re-leveling the floor can give somebody a lift more time than the rest of the work.
I'm redoing my kitchen too! What fun. I enjoy had the floors put surrounded by first. Your new anything should jump on top of the floors. But if you are ripping out walls, that should be done back you lay the floor, because you will be removing baseboards and doo-dads of an electrical nature. May I suggest you look at laminate flooring previously you make a finding? They have some really righteous looking "wood plank" flooring and its very affordable.
Have a great time!
walls, after floor, then cabinet.
walls - may drip when, and if you paint them, and you don't want stains on the floor
floor - if you put the cabinets surrounded by first, it'll be harder to do the floor
Remove everything that is not going to be surrounded by the new kitchen, similar to the cabinets etc. If your subfloor is concrete bestow the existing vinyl down if you plan on doing ceramic tile if the concrete foundation ever shifts the vinyl will prevent the tile from shifting which vehicle you won't have loose tiles and the grout won't crack. you mentioned vinyl floor tile if you are chitchat about the strip and stick type don't do it they tend to move and you end up near a lot of gap. Once you remove everything that you don't want start with the walls, do the drywall,cartridge,texture,prime and paint. if you are going with stoneware tile, laminate, or hardwood install it after the cabinets it's silly to install cabinets on top. If you be in motion with vinyl cabinet can be installed after and you get a cleaner look because you don't own to try and trim around everything with a wound. Hope this helps
