What I don't understand is why that adds $3,000 to the price. Let's say $200 for materials. That's $2,200 in labor to strip the old plywood and lay down new. Assuming a shop rate of $100/hour, is that really a 22 hour job? It seems like just R&Ring the plywood should be more on the order of 4 to 6 hours for an expert with the right tools and materials.
