I REALLY need some advice. I'm completely redoing my kitchen including major wall changes, new cabinets, countertop and floor. Should I install the floor BEFORE OR AFTER I put the cabinets in? I get conflicting opinions from the local retailers. The cabinet stores say the floor should go in first and the floor stores say the cabinets should be first in case any major floor repairs are necessary. HELP!
