What the work should include
We review the floor assembly, toe kicks, appliances and transitions. The scope should identify removal, preparation and trim work, plus who moves and reconnects appliances. Follow the selected product's installation requirements rather than assuming every floor can be placed beneath fixed cabinetry.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare finished height with dishwasher clearance, doors and adjoining rooms. Consider whether the floor is continuous into nearby spaces or stops at a doorway. A practical layout preserves access for later appliance service instead of focusing only on the open walking area.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Appliance handling, old floor removal and preparation influence labor. Send appliance openings, toe kicks and product information for the new floor.

A question about this work
Can any floating floor run beneath fixed cabinets?
Do not assume that. The manufacturer's installation instructions should guide the relationship between the flooring and fixed cabinetry.
