We are moving into a house that has old appliances e.g. dishwasher, stand alone range, and fridge. We are going to install Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring and wonder if this should be installed before or after we buy the new appliances?
If we need to do install floors first, who can I call to un-install the old appliances and haul them away? THanks!

It is better to install the flooring first, as it is more difficult to level the stove and dishwasher if the front is on the new floor but the back is not, and much harder to get the dishwasher out should it ever need to be replaced. Its not that much extra material to just complete the floor. Also check with your appliance company, as some of them will haul away the old when delivering the new.

I agree with the above answer. We are doing the same thing and Sears is going to remove the old appliances and put in the new ones. Leveling will be a problem if you leave old floor under appliances.

sometimes some of the Co's that r bringing u'r new appliances will take the old ones but if not, go online to http://www.freerecycle.com & look up u'r area & put them online .. they will go like hot cakes. I jst did that w/ some small electronics & they all went n 2 days.
As far as laying the flooring down b/4...def. yes.

After the new floor is installed make sure you lay down some heavy card board so they don't mar your new floor when they install them.
