Should you install new floors before or after painting? Most homeowners get this order wrong — and it costs them time and money. Here's the smarter sequence: 🔹 Paint first, floors second — drips and roller splatter are inevitable, and protecting new flooring from them is a headache you don't need 🔹 Baseboards come off before flooring goes in — reinstalling them after gives you a cleaner finish and hides the expansion gap properly 🔹 If cabinets are staying, floors go under them — but if cabinets are being replaced, do floors after so you're not tiling or planking under something that's getting torn out anyway 🔹 New doors may need to be trimmed — flooring adds height, and doors that cleared the old floor sometimes drag on the new one Getting the sequence right the first time saves you from redoing work you already paid for. We walk homeowners through the full project order before installation starts — so nothing gets damaged and everything lines up the way it should. What stage of your renovation are you at right now?

A bright, airy residential living room mid-renovation captured in a wide-angle photorealistic style. The left half of the room shows freshly painted warm white walls with a paint roller and tray resting against the baseboard, while the right half reveals beautiful new wide-plank light oak luxury vinyl flooring being laid across the subfloor. Soft natural light streams through a large window, casting gentle warm tones across the space. The scene feels organized and purposeful — tools neatly placed, no clutter — evoking a professional, well-sequenced renovation in progress. Colour palette features warm whites, soft greys, honey oak wood tones, and subtle navy blue accents in the furnishings.
