Flooring choice
Anonymous user 22/12/2025 - 10:29 AM
I bought a house 2 weeks ago but about 60% of the hardwood flooring is squeaking. I would like to have the house finish for Airbnb. Is it best to repair and refinish all but vinyl flooring ?

What type of plywood should I use under vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen?
Anonymous user 22/12/2025 - 10:28 AM
I’m planning to install vinyl tile flooring in my kitchen but the subfloor is currently made up of older wood boards that are a bit uneven and loose in spots. My plan is to secure or replace any weak boards and then put down a layer of plywood to create a stable base before laying the flooring. I’m just not sure what grade of plywood is best for this. Would standard exterior-grade plywood be fine, or is it worth paying extra for something like marine plywood? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Can I install vinyl flooring over existing laminate flooring?
Anonymous user 22/12/2025 - 10:24 AM
Just moved into a new home and I'm really not loving the colour of the laminate floors. Is it possible to lay vinyl flooring right on top of the laminate? Asking to know if can avoid taking off the baseboards and removing the laminate.
