I’m doing the cabinets for a customer who is having her living room/kitchen remodeled. I am only doing the cabinets and the cabinets install. Other trades are doing the other work.
The flooring installer is pushing customer and myself to let him install the Pergo floating floor before I install the cabinets.
I say no for a couple reasons, one, its not the normal construction progression, at least to what I’ am use to. All the jobs Ive been involved with over the years the finished flooring goes in last. I really believe the floor installer is just trying to make his job easier at everyone else’s expense.
Because this is a floating floor that expands and contract quite a bit thru the seasons I believe constraining the movement of the flooring by attaching the cabinets (wall and Island) to the floating floor is a good thing to do.
So what do you guys think if it were you would you let the flooring be installed before the cabinets?
