Hello all, I am a newbie investor- bought my 1st out of state rental . The property is a 3bed 1.5 bath- needs new LVP flooring in kitchen/living room/hallway/bathroom and basement . Bedrooms have hardwood- which need to be refinished.  Total home size is 2000 sft, finished above ground is 1000 sft.

I got a quote that seems high to me (when compared to other quotes) - I am copy pasting it here . As I have no experience in this, would appreciate any suggestions.
