Should we start by installing the flooring or cabinets in the basement first? I heard that it’s better to do the flooring first to allow for the expansion of a floating floor. What do you think?
Always begin with the cabinets.
Typically, when you have a floating floor, it’s best to install the cabinets first.
Let’s start with the cabinets no matter what kind of flooring you have.

I really appreciate it!🤗
Start with floating floor fixtures before anything else. Then move on to fixed floor fixtures.
I decided to install engineered oak before the cabinets so that in the future I can renovate the space without having to replace the flooring as well.
