Hi,

When we had an estimate for new kitchen flooring the installer opined
that our vinyl flooring probably contained asbestos (ca 1981) therefore they
couldn't remove it. They would put down a 1/4" of plywood then the new
flooring over it.

Q1: Would vinyl from that era really have asbestos?

Q2: Is the plywood over the existing floor reasonable?

Q3: Would the asbestos create a resale problem? (Asbestos was common
when I grew up.)

Thanks,
Gary
