Dingo Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 You can put laminate directly over linoleum but you will have to put underlay down first.When you remove the trim mark the back of them with a felt pen so you know which order to put them back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just wondering if he could take a shortcut and maybe tuck the new stuff under without having to remove it all. Fuck off Sanchez Weinstein. You can tuck it if you want it to look like shit or the gap on the floor is as wide as your asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Some people use an oscillating saw to remove a bit off the trim and then tuck it in,I found it easier to just remove and reinstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 It will probably only effect the trim around the doors,put down all the baseboards then cut off the bottom of the door trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never installed that new vinyl but I imagine if you put an underlay on first you could,laminate or hardwood is the way to go IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Laminate is very easy,go on YouTube and watch a few videos.Unless you have complicated compound cuts it’s mostly using a chop saw cutting it to length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U tube seems to imply vinyl is better than laminate because it's waterproof, this would be a kitchen so there would be some spills over time. I see prices of maybe $2-3 sq foot, my kitchen is only 10 by 10 if you take out the cabinets, $2-300 for a new kitchen floor seems like nothing.

You go in the front door and trip over the back gate? It's bigger than that but I'm factoring out the cabinet/counter areas, that shrinks the sq footage. But yea, it's not a mansion, still worth maybe $400K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
