Is $1,000 to apply self leveling cement to a large basement kitchen floor a fair price?
Project Details
I'm replacing my floors and I'm wondering if I should pay to have someone use self leveling cement. We have some high spots throughout the floor but we have one extremely bad area in a corner that has me concerned. Our insurance is covering the floor but they said they wouldn't cover any additional costs which unfortunately includes the leveling.
