Didn't want to hijack 4hand's thread from last month.
I've been in the process of doing some home renovations. Have put sheet rock in some ceilings, ripped out all the old dingy carpet, paint, overhauled bathroom, etc.
For last few months, been trying to get a contractor to install LVP in the entire house and some won't call back or no shows. I did get one price from a guy but decided to get a few more. Had another guy come measure but he ghosted me and never gave me a price, and got another to give me a price last week. The last guy said I needed 1/4 inch plywood as a subfloor because I have hardwood floors. The first two didn't mention this. Is this required? I can't find anything on Google that supports this. I thought the better LVP had attached underlayment and didn't require subfloor or additional underlays? His price was $3000 more due to this.
I'm about ready to just do it myself. I didn't think it would take this long to find someone to lay flooring.
