What comes first?
Hi everyone,
I'm about to close my first deal and I need to do some renovations.
Kitchen
Paint
Repair windows
Floors
So I know I have to hire an electrician and a plumber but by any chance someone could help me with a good contractor/handyman contact and by telling me what should I do first?
Painting, then change floors, then windows, or does windows and kitchen is first and painting is the last, or floors are the last...I know you get where I'm confused.
Thanks!

1 - Repair Windows (don't want open windows to allow damage to anything new in the house)
2 - Kitchen (this install will damage and scuff floors and walls)
3 - Paint (Paint around other installs)
4 - Floors (everything else scuffs or drops on floors...so do the floors last)
