Hello! I just bought a coop that has parquet floors. I would like to update the floors into a lighter color wide plank flooring. The contractor is saying that my best bet is for him to lay the new floors on top of the existing ones so I don't have to get special permission from co-op and city. He says NYC apartments do this all the time. Anyone have any experience with this? The ease of doing it is certainly tempting but I don't want to invest in something that will look cheap. Thanks!
