The old flooring often needs to be removed prior to installing the new floor (some floor coverings are allowed to be installed over existing undesired pre-existing floors. Sometimes it isn't optimal; ex. laying LVP over existing tile or hardwood may raise flooring level too high for doors to open, fridges to fit under cabinets, and smooth transitions to other floorings). Furniture, appliances, and other fixtures need to be moved. Baseboards can be carefully pulled (and replaced after the new flooring) to provide a quality future finish.
Under finished flooring, is the subfloor. It is the solid, structural floor of the house. Basements and slab houses have concrete, while main level and additional levels often have wood subfloors. For new construction houses today OSB is used. In the past various combinations of solid wood, plywood, and particle board were often used.
“Underlayment” is a layer of plywood or particle board that is installed directly over the subfloor and gives a solid, smooth, and flat surface for a floor covering. It is optimal for glued down floorings, like sheet vinyl and glued LVT/LVP.
Floor leveling patch can be used to fill minor imperfections in the subfloor. Padded carpet installed over concrete hides the condition of the concrete slab. Concrete slabs typically require some patching to smooth out. Different flooring types have different allowances for flatness.
Flooring can be installed after adequate preparation. Vinyl can be rolled out and glued, Laminate and LVP clicked together. Baseboards go back up and things put back into place. Sometimes finishes like quarter round and transition pieces need to be added when they weren't needed for previous flooring. That's it! And yes, there is always dust :(
