Tis time to upgrade the flooring

Well, After years of service it is indeed time to get rid of that damn carpet.
After an extended search. have went with Ernie Ekbert Flooring in Mineral Wells, TX.
We are going with Hickory (3/8 engineered plywood, not vinyl).
Demo was done last week & will start laying in the flooring this week..DW is beyond Giggly with anticipation.

That is a great job. Ours is a 2020 4 Winds 31y. We have an ultra cheap vinyl linoleum that after less than 6 months old and is already showing age. I want to lay something like that. Looks terrific. Our original linoleum is under cabinets everywhere. I would assume you laid it close to cabinets and maybe used quarter round trim. Did you have to temporarily remove any furniture or anything? Did you also have to do any slides?

Would you mind sharing an estimate of the amount it cost to do?

We used Ernie Ekbert Flooring in Mineral Wells for the replacement of the floors.
He Has been doing this for around 50 years or so..
He makes precise cuts around cabinets so does not have to use floor shoe or quarter round to hide mistakes.. PM sent .
