What goes in first sink or countertop?

Which should come first, countertops or appliances?

As a homeowner, you may not think about your kitchen appliances as much as you do the countertop or sink. But first, what should be installed? If at all possible, appliances such as the stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator should be installed before the countertops.

Why is it necessary to install appliances first?

Many homeowners wonder whether countertops or appliances should be installed first when remodeling their kitchen. The answer might surprise you: appliances! Here are four reasons why you should install appliances before countertops:

1. Typically, appliances arrive before countertops.

2. It is much easier to install appliances before the countertops have been installed.

3. Because appliances must be level, installing them first ensures that your countertops will be level as well.

4. If you’re not sure about the material or color of your countertops, you can always change them later – but once appliances are installed, they’re there to stay!

When planning your kitchen remodel, put appliances at the top of your priority list. Your contractor will appreciate it, and your counters will look even better as a result.

What Are the Advantages of Placing Appliances First?

There are several advantages to installing appliances first. Most importantly, it enables you to visualize the space and how your appliances will fit into it. It may also make countertop installation easier because you won’t have to work around appliances. Finally, if you intend to do any remodeling or painting, it is best to do so before installing appliances.

This question has no right or wrong answer because it is dependent on your specific kitchen layout and needs. However, we recommend installing countertops first, followed by appliances, as this will make it easier to install the appliances in the proper location. After you’ve installed your countertops, you can measure for appliances and have them installed to your specifications. This procedure may take a little longer, but it will ensure that everything is properly installed and in the correct order.
