Buying my first set of Cabinets? Tips?

[brutal]

Are you installing the flooring under the base cabinets? That can be a hassle in the event of a water loss; especially if you go with granite counter tops.

Wouldn't everything have to come out anyway?

No, and even in situations like yours, often times they just cut out the floor up to the cabinet, as long as no moisture under the cabinet. Don't mean to high jack this thread though.

DFBrews, like any remodel project, try to spend below what will be returned in value at time of sale. Unless you just want to. That's always a good enough reason to do something.

Or would it not be an issue with a leak. Where the flooring went up to the cabinets & dishwasher. Then find out one morning, gee this floor feels squishy. Since the dw was leaking for about 2-3 days, going under the flooring and not over it.
