What order would you do drywall, LVP, trim, and paint?

My practical order would be drywall and sanding, then prime and paint the walls. Paint the trim before installing it if you can. Lay the LVP after the messy work, then put the baseboards on and touch up the trim.

That way, you avoid doing most of the painting over a new floor. Follow the flooring instructions for the edge gap, and don’t fill that gap with caulk if the floor needs room to move.

For a tidy finish, I’d separate the trim painting from the wall painting. Get the walls painted first, then paint the trim off the wall, install it after the floor, and caulk the trim-to-wall seam. Finish with a coat or touch-ups on the trim so the caulk and nail holes disappear.

If you still need a final wall coat after installation, protect the floor well. Floor protection helps, but it’s still less fuss to do the wall painting before the LVP goes down.

There isn’t one perfect sequence if different crews are involved, so agree on who handles the last touch-ups before booking them. The straightforward plan is drywall, wall paint, LVP, then baseboards. Pre-painting the trim makes that easier, but plan for a little repair or paint after installation.
