Kitchen Remodel - Allure Ultra Resilent Plank Flooring

three layers of flooring
We realized the poor condition of the kitchen floor once we got the old cupboards out. The Armstrong vinyl tiles are cracked where the sub-floor has heaved as well as dents and broken tiles. We have the original layer of rolled congloleum flooring and two layers of stick-on vinyl tiles. All flooring prior to the 1970's is suspect for asbestos and removal is not recommended. We went to Home Depot to check out our options. I wanted a sturdy floor that would handle heavy use from pets, kids and foot traffic. We settled on Allure Ultra resilient plank flooring. It is 100% waterproof and has a lifetime warranty for as long as we live in this home. It is a floating floor, meaning no glues are required. The estimate from the Crew2 team is $1300.00 to repair the damaged areas, install a new layer of sub-floor and lay the Resilient plank flooring after the cupboards are in. The new floor will be 1/2 inch taller than what is there now, but fortunately all our doors have enough clearance. 
We picked a red cherry wood-look that cost about $3.50 a square foot, coming to $770.00 for the kitchen, a coat closet and entry. We forgot to add the baseboard trim in the estimate, but will negotiate that into the contract. This kitchen is going to look awesome!
