Just to clarify, we put in a Sheet Vinyl not a true "Linoleum"As a salesperson/estimator when we're first in someone's home, we don't have a commitment at this timeWe don't get to take 1/rounds off or cut open floorsWe make an educated guess as to what might work best to prepare
the old floor (which will be the subfloor) for the new floorIn this case, the sales person thought we could use an embossing leveler to prepare the old floorMy installer ***, with over years of experience installing vinyl flooring, determined that the best possible subfloor to give the new floor a chance to last the longest, would be a 1/4" plywoodThere were old floors down already, there were some parts of the old floor missing, due to some water damageSo the $extra charge was not just for sheets of plywoodIt's for the difference of using embossing leveler, to purchase sheets of plywood, prepping the old floor, stapling and installing the plywood, sanding and leveling the seam of plywoodAll of this was done to ensure a good stable subfloor for the new floorGiven this explanation, if this consumer sees no value in putting the proper subfloor downI would gladly refund her $Also I was never contacted personally to explain this
