Existing house in Germantown, General Contractor just bought for his private residence and business office.
Entire carpet, tack strip, staples, baseboard has been removed. Plywood subfloor has been screwed down at 16”OC with screws to avoid squeaks. I want to make sure no squeaks.
The SCOPE DOES INCLUDE the (6) steps risers and runs, ONLY the steps on the right side going up are included at this time. Figure on a 1/4 round on the sides of the steps.

Good work for winter!
Looking for a good $/SF price to get this done. Probably Mid to Late Feb. 
s the flooring contractor to provide approved underlayment?
ReplyDeleteAnd will setting material/glue be provided? I have installed cork numerous times and every supplier has their own glues needed that are quite expensive.
Also, is it a pre finished product? Some of the suppliers require a finish aplied after installation.
Thanks
