North County Inland summers swing from cool nights to hot days, and winters drop into the 30s overnight. Solid hardwood needs full acclimation and tighter moisture control here.

Demo, prep, and disposal of carpet is $1.50 to $3 per square foot. Add the cost of the new floor (LVP $5 to $9 installed, hardwood $9 to $16 installed). For a typical 1,000 sq ft conversion to LVP, plan for $7,000 to $12,000 all-in. Hardwood runs $11,000 to $19,000.
What is under the carpet?
In most San Diego homes, plywood subfloor on a wood-frame floor, or a concrete slab on slab-on-grade construction. We don't always know exactly what's down there until we pull a corner of carpet at the in-home consult. We check for asbestos in pre-1980 homes (occasionally there's a vinyl tile under the carpet that needs abatement).
