When Choosing Countertops
& Flooring,
Which Should Be First?
By ZOE NOLZ
When remodeling a kitchen, it's generally recommended to select and install countertops before flooring. This decision is beneficial both from a creative and practical standpoint.
Countertops provide more opportunities for creativity than flooring, and selecting them first makes it easier to find complementary flooring, ensuring a cohesive
kitchen design.
Since the process of installing countertops involves handling heavy materials and moving tools frequently, there's a chance of dropping items that could scuff or dent the floor.
Thus, choosing and installing the countertops before the flooring not only protects the floor from potential damage but also makes the installation process more efficient and safe.
