Is $5,000 to remove tile, level, and install waterproof luxury vinyl planks a fair price?
Project Details
My 18-year-old cat had a UTI and was missing the litter box in a spare room, causing a strong ammonia smell that I couldn't remove. The room is about 300 sqft. Under the carpet, there's very thin tile from the 1950s-60s, which I suspect contains asbestos. I'm concerned about encapsulating the cat odor and the potential asbestos. I have DIY experience but am wary of the sales guy's approach to the asbestos issue, especially since he seemed ready to tear up the floor without testing. I also feel the quoted price is high.
