OT: House flooring Q's, Sub-floor? Options

[Kerrys914]

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) I am/will be pulling out some old carpet and vinyl flooring out of a living room and kitchen.

Is/could there be an extra layer of sub-flooring under the vinyl flooring in the kitchen? I am putting in some hardwood/laminate flooring in both spaces and want a seamless look to the two spaces.

I am not in the house yet so I can't pull the flooring up to look. I thought it might be a common practice thang to use an extra layer of sub-flooring???

Garage will be done after the 1st floor is done.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

It's 95% likely that there is 3/8" particle board layer stapled to the plywood subfloor under the lino.

When I say stapled, I mean STAPLED. These guys have a habit of using a staple every 1/2" at the seams and every 4" in the field. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I like the idea of bringing up the level of the floor under the carpeted section with material to match the height of the lino.

Just make sure you won't have any issues with other adjoining floors. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
