How much to level concrete floor?

Your contractor is correct in objecting to install laminate flooring over a floor that is not level. This tells me you have someone that knows what he is doing. However, I question the use of laminate on any concrete surfaces if it has any wood content. Perhaps a better choice is a loose laid vinyl flooring available in many building supply stores. It comes in pieces that are 3 feet long and 1 foot wide. It simply lies on top of the concrete. It has tabs on two sides where you simply adhere the next one onto. I believe the brand name is called Allure. It goes for about $2.50 a square foot which works out to be much less expensive than re-levelling a floor. Keep in mind that it's not susceptible to water damage whereas wood products are.

Good Luck.
