I'm planning for a major remodeling of our current home. I've been talking to multiple contractors based on their expertise and would like to use different one for the job. Since I don't have 1 general contractor to help on the planning, I don't know if there is advantage to complete one before the other.

With our budget plan, I'm thinking that we should go in this sequence of ordering.

1. Full-frame replacement double-pane windows to reduce the sizes (11 windows and 2 sliding doors). Adding wall to make the windows smaller.
2. Re-paint the interior and exterior (optional).
3. Replace kitchen cabinets with island and couple appliances.
4. Install hardwood floor for the kitchen, living room, and hallway.
5. Install wall moldings.

I'm not sure if I should do 4 before 3 or not. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on the sequence for jobs 1 to 5.
