Just quoted a full kitchen refloor with Mohawk SolidTech LVP at $4500 all in, materials and labor for 250 sq ft. Guy's like 'that's too much, can you do basic Home Depot vinyl for half?' Now the cheap stuff's gonna warp on him in a year and he'll be calling me back pissed. SMH, these homeowners never learn.

What brand of cheap vinyl did he push for?

Screw those types, they always come crawling back after the big box store junk fails.

Exactly, and then they expect a discount to fix their mistake.

Stick to your guns on Mohawk, it's worth the premium over the knockoffs.

I'd walk away from that job, life's too short for penny pinchers.

Hate when they undervalue good work like that.

Try upselling the warranty on Mohawk, sometimes that seals it.

LOL, bet he ends up with bubbles and calls it 'character'.

Quote the redo cost upfront if he goes cheap, saves headaches later.

Same crap here, feels like every other quote.

Man, I feel that frustration in my back from lugging materials for ungrateful folks.

Wouldn't touch his undercut with a 10ft pole after that attitude.

Add a line item for 'stupidity tax' next time, half kidding.
