Hi Retired ID, I am staying in a old 3-room HDB flat and the living room and 2 rooms flooring are what you call "Chart4 Chio4" in Hokkien - (Sorry don't know the English term but basically like a piece of cover over the cement with some flowers motif as decoration. Many parts of the flooring has been torn and all after 30 years of wear and tear. Just want to check with you: 1. If I want to just do laminate flooring, (after peeling away the Chart Chio and laying it on top), is it advisable and cost effective? 2. Do you know roughly how much it may cost? 3. I have many big pieces of furniture which may have to be dismantled and assembled again since I have to shift all these furniture around - does the contractor cater for such moving, dismantling and assembly and do you know roughly how much they may quote? 4. How long will the entire process take for a 3-room HDB flat? Thank you in advance for your advice!
