Renovation Order

[Jason Garrison]

Does anyone have any tips on renovation order?  I'm remodeling my basement.  It will soon be turned into a duplex to rent.  

The sheetrock and mudding is finished.  I have concrete floors I'm going to clean and stain rather than put hardwood or carpet down.

Do I paint the walls first or do I go ahead and stain the floors.  

What is the correct renovation order?

And even though @J Scott has a good list there, there will be exceptions. For example, when getting granite counters for a kitchen, the granite installers want the stove in place before templates are made, so the stove being an appliance would have to jump up earlier in the list. And if you are trying to just have one delivery charge for appliances and having the stove delivered (and you are not picking up yourself), that could mean bringing other appliances earlier as well.
