The slider above shows labor only. Here is exactly what is and is not included.

Older method — adhesive applied to the tongue-and-groove joint, not the subfloor. Adds rigidity.
Newer homes in Shandin Hills are predominantly built on concrete slabs, which simplifies installation for many modern flooring types. The 99 days above 90°F annually necessitate careful adhesive selection and extended acclimation periods for wood and laminate flooring to prevent warping.

No. Despite widespread marketing of 'waterproof laminate,' laminate has a High Density Fiberboard (HDF) core that swells when exposed to moisture. The surface resists quick spills, but standing water at seams or moisture from below will damage laminate. LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the genuinely waterproof alternative.
