Why does the new vinyl have to have the 1/4" wood addition? Can someone help me
understand what the correct process is here? Don't beat up on the sales guy as I
could have repeated some of what he said incorrectly.

He may be right. That is a common practice to get a smooth base for
the final floor. OTOH, I'd never go to Lowe's or HD for flooring or
appliances. I'd bet you have a good reputable local dealer that will
do a better job at a very competitive price. They will also quite the
entire job, not just the new install.

The big box stores used the lowest priced contractor. Some good, many
bad.
