Spoke to a contractor for a quote today.. he say to install laminate flooring on top pf parquet.
First time I hear this...is he serious? Not a very smart advice according to me.. The house parquet is 28 years old...is he testing how ignorant I am? |

Some ppl live-in, so they don't want the mess.. if the old parquet condition is still ok (ie. flat, no major damages here and there) then this can be done. For me as I'm moving out of the house, so i get the contractor to demolish the existing parquet, cart away debris, and prepare a new flat surface in preparation for my new laminated floor..and this cost money. you are doing the right thing...do it right the first time..Added on January 18, 2011, 10:09 pm QUOTE(kimbershoemaker @ Jan 18 2011, 03:14 PM) First of all I care for the quality of your post. That was interesting to read and helpful article. And Im lookin’ forward to see your next thinks. Sure...great post there...btw..what are you smoking? can I have some???

QUOTE(lizziewong @ Jan 21 2011, 02:58 PM) My house has parquet, and the pieces are coming out, and lots of dust underneath n in between gaps. The other problem is termite... Labour cost is still Rm60? or more?My neighbour replaced his parquet and his Indon crew came in and cleared it all in less than a day, I suppose if u recruit your own guys, it wld cost u max of RM300 to RM400 to take care of the labour cost (RM60x2) and cost of hiring a lorry to throw it away. |
