I want to replace the tile in my kitchen
but the Cabinet that has the stove, dishwasher and sink is on top of the tile.
Is there a way I can replace the tile with hardwood without the removal or disassemble of the cabinet?

Treat the cabinet the same as a wall. If vinyl tile can just lay the hardwood on top in some cases. Ceramic tile will probably make the floor too high.– crip659Commented Dec 2, 2023 at 22:10

@crip659 do you mean to lay vinyl flooring on top of the tile? hmmm will it work?– asmgxCommented Dec 3, 2023 at 1:10

It could work, it most likely will take some prep, a picture would help that includes where the tile stops at, and the surface of the tile.– JackCommented Dec 3, 2023 at 2:35

I should have detailed my question better. What I meant by where it stops at is where the tile meets different flooring, like a door and such. Mainly because that is where height of the floor changes.– JackCommented Dec 3, 2023 at 6:25

Hardwood? If you mean nailed down then the tile needs to come up. It maybe should come up anyway if you have height issues where it transitions. Use a Toe-Kick Saw. The one pictured (Harbor Freight) has a wood blade but in checking the reviews a diamond blade (get a dry cut blade) will work with minor modifications. Will not get all the way into the corners so a chisel will be needed to clean up the corners. I would also protect your cabinets so they don't get scratched.
