As it pertains to construction, the labor workforce has been dwindling for years while other industries are now just seeing their own issues. If you're a homeowner or a landlord in commercial real estate and you're looking to have work done, you can bank on the fact that costs are going to be going up going forward and it is going to take longer to get someone to perform the work.

Floor preparation, concrete moisture mitigation, self-leveling underlayment and skim-coating are absolutely 100% the most important part of the application of a new floor, whether a soft good, a sheet-good, or a hard-good, it is absolutely 100% vital and it's the owner's and general contractor's worst enemy at times because it is an absolute unknown and there is no tried and true dollar figure that you need to think about.

A present update of what flooring and construction looks like here in 2021 and beyond. Both unstable & unpredictable, to say the least. With no shortage of products out there it's important that you partner with a trusted contractor, subcontractor, or flooring house to help you make a proper decision. There are so many options available and there's more and more going on daily. The problem being is the pricing is going haywire. And those that are installing the product are getting fewer and far between.
