Hello,
we are currently in the process of hiring a company for our flooring work. We would like to install click-lock/design vinyl flooring, which costs 55 EUR/m2 (55 EUR per square meter) including materials according to the first quote. Then there is a second quote stating that the floor must be leveled first, costing 25 EUR/m2 (25 EUR per square meter) as an additional charge.
What do you think about this? I find it to be much higher than what I found in online searches. The problem is that we have already signed the first contract and cannot cancel the order without incurring additional costs.

I can’t say what a fair price is. Nor can I say whether you can get out of the contract.
However, if he already mentions it, why not include it in writing – at least as an option?
A tip for the next time you request quotes: I always ask for the costs of different execution options and the labor time, in case something unexpected comes up. This often helps to avoid the risk of “utopian prices” and/or disputes. Plus, I can still change my mind five minutes before ordering materials and still know what it will cost.

Hello emer,
thank you for the great tip! I will definitely keep that in mind next time...
This is our first experience, and we have learned a lot from it. When I think about it, it could have been worse. Please keep your fingers crossed that we can move in at least on time...
