You have to do it this way or when it is time to replace the dishwasher or you have a leak you will not be able to get the dishwasher out with out removing the counters. Then put in your cabinets.

The pricing is excellent so that shouldn't pose a problem. As an added plus I can tell you from experience that the quality is great. Maybe if you just take off the doors, you can get what you want.

Another option though at least if you live around the midwest is to have the Amish build custom cabinets for you. My mom had them build custom chairs and a custom table frame for her kitchen. They are pretty reasonable. Yeah, at many kitchen design centers you can order custom cabinets.

It seems logical to assume WASTE in doing otherwise. What possible purpose might it serve to have material costing upwards of $2 per sq. ft. Under, and hidden by, cabinets??? The replacement cabinets should be installed first,,,BUT...the old flooring removed first would be the best strategy. Steven Wolf PS: It's your choice as to floor install under a stove and refrigerator. I'd probably proceed that way if contracted.

Remove all existing cabinets and tile the entire floor. It levels everything up for you and eliminates a lot of potential problems with appliance installations, etc. In your situation, you definitely want to tile the floor first.
