Steps for Installing a New Kitchen - Where Do I Start?
Anonymous user 04/08/2026 - 10:07 AM
I'm planning to renovate my kitchen soon and I'm not sure about the best order to tackle everything. I'll need to have the walls skimmed or plastered, some electrical work done like adding new outlets, tearing out the old kitchen and flooring. The new kitchen will need to be installed, flooring put in, as well as tiling and painting. What order should I do all this in? Is there a best way to approach it all?
Are you a pro and able to answer this question?

I would:
Finalize the design with particular attention to plumbing and electrical locations and create a timeline for each step’s completion.
1) remove old kitchen cabinets and flooring
2) add / relocate any plumbing and electrical locations
3) repair/install dry wall and finish
4) add new cabinets, joining and leveling base cabinets to receive countertops
5) flooring - some may say do the whole room first but I prefer to do after cabinets to save on flooring cost- kick plates will hide
6) countertops installed
7) backsplash if applicable
8) sink faucet- not in the way when doing backsplash
9) paint
10) light fixtures/ cover plates
11 ) appliances

Start with planning and design, decide how you want your new kitchen to look.
Next, remove the old kitchen and flooring.
Then do the electrical and plumbing work.
After that, fix or plaster the walls.
Install the flooring.
Then put in the new kitchen cabinets and countertops.
Finish with painting, tiling, and adding the final details.

When renovating a kitchen, the order of work is important to avoid redoing tasks and to keep the project running smoothly. The best approach is to start by removing the old kitchen units, appliances, and flooring so the space is clear for any construction or repair work. Once the room is stripped back, have all the electrical and plumbing work done first, such as adding new outlets, lighting points, and water connections, since these require access to the walls. After that, the walls can be skimmed or plastered to create a smooth finish. Once the plaster is dry, get the flooring done and next step would be installing the kitchen and appliances . Afterward, complete any wall tiling or backsplash installation, and finish with painting and touch-ups to give the kitchen a clean, polished look. This order ensures efficiency and prevents damage to freshly finished surfaces.

From what I understand, the best approach is to start with demolition, then handle all electrical and plumbing rough-ins before plastering the walls. Once that’s done, the kitchen can be installed, followed by the flooring, tiling, and finally the painting to finish everything cleanly.
