Should LVP go in before or after new kitchen cabinets?

The sequence depends on the flooring system and cabinet design. Fixed cabinets or islands can restrict a floating floor, while some products allow different approved methods. Share the final cabinet plan and follow the selected manufacturer’s instructions before deciding when the flooring should be installed.

Can we renovate the kitchen now and extend LVP into the living room later?

Possibly, but plan the eventual connection before starting. Product availability, matching batches, locking direction and required transitions can affect the later phase. Ask whether purchasing appropriate spare material or installing the connected area together would better suit the layout and manufacturer’s requirements.

Should painting be finished before vinyl plank installation?

Discuss the complete trade sequence rather than using one rule for every project. Major painting may be easier before finished flooring is exposed, while trim work can require later touch-ups. Agree on who protects the new floor and uses compatible materials during any remaining work.

What if demolition reveals an uneven kitchen subfloor?

The exposed substrate should be evaluated against the chosen LVP’s flatness and condition requirements. Ask for the proposed preparation to be explained before proceeding, including its effect on height and schedule. Unexpected work should follow the agreed change-approval process rather than being covered without discussion.

Can we stay in the home while kitchen and living-room LVP is installed?

That depends on the affected routes, room access and work sequence. Explain which facilities you need to use before scheduling. Review temporary access, furniture staging and any preparation or adhesive restrictions so you can make a practical household plan for the installation period.

When should I order flooring during an Issaquah remodel?

Confirm the product, final room and cabinet layout, quantity and delivery arrangements first. Coordinate timing with the installer and the wider renovation schedule, allowing for the selected product’s storage and site-condition requirements. Ordering before those decisions are settled can create unnecessary changes.

Who handles appliance disconnection and reconnection?

That responsibility should be explicitly assigned in the project scope. Moving an appliance is not the same as handling its plumbing, electrical or gas connection. Identify the appropriate parties before scheduling flooring and confirm clearances so the appliance can be returned and serviced afterward.

How can I compare flooring bids within a larger renovation budget?

Create one room list and ask each bidder to define removal, preparation, product, installation, transitions, trim and protection. Identify tasks assigned to other trades and any site-readiness assumptions. Compare the complete scope and change process rather than treating a basic installation figure as the total.

Plan LVP Around Your Issaquah Renovation

Issaquah’s history includes its earlier name, Gilman, and the railroad that helped shape the community. Today the city identifies distinct neighborhoods from Olde Town to Issaquah Highlands and Talus. The right installation sequence comes from your project itself: what is being removed, where cabinets will go and which rooms must remain usable.

Share your remodeling schedule and drawings before committing to flooring dates. Cabinet installation, fixed islands, wet preparation work and other trades can affect the LVP sequence. A coordinated plan should also explain how the finished floor will be protected if work continues elsewhere.

Outstanding in every respect with a beautiful outcome. Highly recommend for hardwood floor refinishing.

These guys are it. Speed, quality, price. The HPL floors they have are super strong and awesome looking.

Wills Flooring is reliable and exceptional with scheduling and delivery. The product was superior to any other we found. They worked around our personal needs with great understanding and the work crew was professional and focused. The end result was a beautiful floor, quality workmanship all completed on our timeline.

I would highly recommend Wills Flooring! They were very easy to work with and accommodating when we had to move our installation date. We are very happy with their professionalism and the quality of the product. They replaced our entire first floor and stairs with LVP, removed carpet, leveled portions of the floor and built proper steps to code.
