Cabinet/Countertop Installation Question

5 years ago

We are currently at the point in our renovation of having cabinets installed. 3 cabinets (2 base and one wall) needed to be ordered after the fact since we were unsure of their depth until all the framing was completed. Naturally, those are delayed for delivery until early November, but our counter tops were measured today and are scheduled to be delivered early next week. Should I push for the counters to be pushed until the remainder of the cabinets are in? GC says given their placement (1 is in the middle of a run and one is at the end of a run butting up to the Fridge panel), they can proceed with counters and install the last remaining cabinets after the fact. Thoughts on this approach? Any input it welcome and thanks in advance.

WHOA! What's going on with the floor? Don't you want the new floor under the cabinets and appliances? If you install those first, then the floor, the floor will have a higher edge. How will you pull the 'fridge out from the wall to clean? If, down the road you need a new stove or dishwasher, how will you replace?

Do the floor, install the cabinets (all of them) and then install counters.

Cabinets were put on plywood that is the same thickness as the flooring, new hardwood will be installed before appliances. Just wondering about if we wait for the counters until these backordered cabinets are in.

IMO I never template for counters until all cabinets are in and I see no wall cabinet place is wall cabinet going in a run of base cabinets/
