Currently have installer (professional company) putting LVP on stairs between first and second stories to match the rest of the house with a whole-home install before I move in (currently empty). There was carpet previously installed on stairs & second floor. The LVP I got has padded backing on the plank. The company ordered the stair nose to go with the LVP color, I got called on Wednesday indicating a potential “issue” with the stairs, but that the crew would come up with a good plan moving forward - no more details were given.
Fast forward to Friday, stairs were done, but told not to step foot on until Sunday - today went over to check out, the LVP right against the stair nose flexes when stepped on creating a gap between the stair nose and the plank on the stair, roughly about 1/8”. This does not seem right at all. Does anyone have some good advice on if this is indeed how it is supposed to be, or what action I need to take with installer to correct if needed?
