I would like to replace the carpet that the builder installed in the two bedrooms with the same vinyl plank the buider installed for the rest of house before my new furniture scheduled to be delivered on 09/25/24.

Has any one done this before ? Can someone recommend a flooring guy ?

I realized that this does not address your question. However, I just put LVP in my entire basement (up north). That included ripping up the existing carpet. It's very easy to install and looks beautiful. If you're somewhat of a DIY, it's not overly challenging at all. Another option (if you're trying to save some $$) is to order all the flooring (measure SF and order 10% more). Then hire a good handyman. I'm not a "flooring guy" and have no specific flooring skills and had no problem with this project. As a reference, the whole job took a l-o-n-g day. Call it a day and a half. Using my labor, I saved about 70% over the quotes I got from a professional flooring outfit.
