Is $5,500 to replace kitchen subfloor and repair joists a fair price?
Project Details
I bought a house built from the turn of the last century. The 13x12 kitchen subfloor and a couple of the joists were rotten in several places. After the work was done, the joints between the plywood don't feel flat, and there are some obvious bumps on the floor. The floor doesn't feel as stable as other floors in the house. The replacement subfloor is now lower, resulting in a noticeable gap where the trim was replaced. I'm questioning if this is acceptable, if anything else should have been done for a kitchen floor, and if the $5500 charge is reasonable.

The contractor removed the existing subfloor, which was made of slatted wood planks. They replaced three rotten joists, installed plywood on top of the joists, and then glued vinyl tile onto the plywood. The trim was also replaced. - Original subfloor: Slatted wood planks (approx. 12 by 3 each) - Joists replaced: 3 rotten joists - New subfloor material: Plywood - Flooring material: Glued vinyl tile - Additional work: Trim replacement
