    On One Hand: It's a Good Idea to Remove It

    Removing old kitchen vinyl flooring creates an updated modern look and allows for new, nicer flooring as a replacement to give the kitchen a more attractive appearance. Removing the flooring does not involve a significant amount of labor as compared to the benefits received from your efforts.

    On the Other: Leave the Old Flooring as It Is

    Vinyl flooring is a simple, basic look that works in most homes, so leave the vinyl kitchen floor down and save your money. Covering the kitchen floor with rugs is an option, as well as laying a new floor directly over the vinyl flooring.

    Bottom Line

    According to Danny Lipford, a leading national home improvement expert, there is no need to remove kitchen vinyl flooring if you want to lay new floors. You can put any type of floor over vinyl as long as the vinyl is smooth and flat to begin with.
