What do I install first?

[Joel Matthews]

Hi,

I'm doing a BRRRR in Pensacola. I'm planning out logistics for materials.

We are doing vinyl flooring thru out all main living areas except bathrooms  

Question: do you install the vinyl flooring first? Or do you install the kitchen cabinets first?

thanks,

Joel

Quote from @Ryan Normand:

Most cabinet guys prefer to put their boxes directly on the subfloor, 

This creates a problem with overall height, especially when using a thicker floor like wide-plank wood, which is popular now in higher end homes. The 3/4" thickness makes the distance to finished countertop only 35-1/4".....
