Remember, since we are considering a floating vinyl plank or tile flooring system, we don’t always have to remove these floors. The floating vinyl products can be installed over the top of well adhered existing hard surface floors.
We may need to skim over existing grout joints in existing tile, and re-cut door jams, but the cost for these things are certainly minimal in comparison to fully removing old hard surface floors. These types of floor prep are described here: “Floor prep & how we approach it price wise.” It is always best to calculate the take up at this point of the process to set a project budget, but as we move forward & take a look at your specific space, many times we can avoid this process & cost!
