I’m replacing the carpet in my 3 bedrooms with vinyl plank flooring.  Is 22 mil acceptable?  I’m tearing out the pad, carpet, tacks, and cleaning the subfloor.  Priming the plywood.

How much per square foot for installation should I plan on spending?

If anyone knows, please give me a shout out.

Keep at it.

20 mil is fine.....

Most LVP has pad attached......

No need to prime the plywood  ...

Use white shoe around the edges....

Home Depot contractors hanging around

should do it for around 1.50 sf......peace_5

Thanks.  Shoe molding makes a lot of sense!  I never thought about the gap between the floor and baseboard.

Dont listen to BigRed, go ahead and hand scrub the sub floor, it's important that it looks nice before being covered up. reallyhappy

@bigred84

 Couldn't you just pull the base board? Most skilled workers can pull without damaging it and reuse.

White/Factory or stained to match....peace_5

It’s not the look.  Pets.  Prime after scrubbing to eliminate any odors.

Keep at it.

Cranky, may I suggest you start a Go Fund Me page.I would gladly support you in your endeavor. Of course that would be in Canadian funds so basically you may need a wheel barrel of it as our dollar is sewering. Good luck with your project!!
