What order do you install or do the following? Cabinets, painting, flooring, appliances, bath fixtures. Can any of these items be done simultaneously? How long should each take to install assuming all is in stock for a 1,277 sq. ft. house with 8' ceilings?I want to remodel my home. What order do these go in? Cabinets, painting, flooring, appliances, bath fixture
Depending on what is in which room, the general procedure of events is....


Fixtures... as bath..plumbing etc..


Flooring next unless you wish to at least prepare and undercoat the paintwork so as to save drop sheeting the areas...


If the '; cabinets '; cupboards are fixtures as built ins, kitchen cupboards, vanity etc. then these should all be done as fixtures ie. : first....


Measurements and planning must be made for appliances, before the fixtures are installed....but these are installed after the flooring...so that the flooring is under same, as fridge,stove, etc.


Painting can now be done, assuming all prep work was carried out before, ..... make sure drop sheets are covering everything....


happy renovating.

appliances,flooring,bath features,cabinets then paint!
It mainly doends on which part of your home you are upgrading to, I would say fixtures such as sinks, baths, tubs should be done first, Than I would move on to flooring, these items include tiel, vinyl, or hardwood. Afterwards, move to painting walls, ceilings and molding, this will be a very wise decision to go ahead and paint before anything is put up. Next would be cabinets, I would have a professional install these because they are a big chunk of your expenses. Finally install all appliances such as oven, dishwasher, microwave and others. Fixtures usually take up a fair amount of time dpending on how much instalation or problems that may occur. Flooring such as tile will have to settle for up to a day to insure settlement. They they apply the grout afterwards, if you choose vinyl or hardwood it would be a short amount of time such a few hours. Painting is a simple thing to do, it should fast and easy. Cabinet installers take half a day to be in and out, depennding on how much. Last but not least, appliances don't usually take up a long time unless you run in to plumbing problems or a gas leak. Overall, these improvements don't take to much time if you have the proper crew and materials needed to get the job done efficiently.
