Has anyone cut out a slot in the cabinets and added a microwave over the stove?
Pictures?
We'd like to pull the range hood and add a microwave to free up counter space.

If we were to tile the back splash, would you recommend before or after the microwave install?
TIA
Adding Microwave Over Stove?

We didn't cut cabinets, when we remodeled the kitchen I installed cabinets with enough room to allow for a microwave.
I would do all the rough in first then tile.

We removed the range hood and added a microwave in that space. The only problem I had was
the bottom of the cabinets are spray painted drywall yes drywall had to pull and replace with oak plywood, took longer to drive to lumber yard then to replace the drywall. Now I know why Karsten is no longer in business.

i tiled my backsplash right up to the bottom of the microwave. too much work to take it down and why pay for more tiles than were actually needed. i also only tiled down to counter top height
