My new kitchen was built on top of my old floor. My friend who is a German custom cabinet maker installed a beautiful wood finish cabinet using hardware from his company. I am reluctant to tear apart my kitchen to put a new floor in. I doubt it will be possible to reinstall the cabinets the way he put them in.

Is it possible to replace this floor without taking out the cabinets?

Remove the toe kick and put in your new floors. Don't remove the kitchen unless your really need a new kitchen.

More then likely based on your info you have supplied so far, however, as needed info gets exchanged as needed by involved parties that could change.

As a Renovator, we encounter this situation often. Usually, we prefer to remove base cabinets to install new floors wall to wall but you can do it as suggested by previous replies with one big caveat. Check your dishwasher and other appliances for height. Many older dishwashers cannot be removed (or installed) if you add 3/4" flooring in front of it. Especially if you have solid countertops that cannot be temporarily raised to get the extra height to pull it out.
