Thanks to those who have responded.
There is not a new floor over old. The original parquet wood and particle board under layment were removed. I put down new plywood (don't remember the thickness), and then the 3/4 hardwood. Everything from the hardwood out is new. That is completely new framing they just did. They removed 2 rows of hardwood and then replaced it with extra I had from the original install.
Weather is not a big concern because there is about 7 feet of porch roof overhang. The front door rarely gets wet from rain.
I would take a picture with the door open but my dogs are in the house right now and they are runners, so I can't open the door.But as far as what it looks like, the threshold is 1.5 inches higher than the finished floor.
We will be looking for the outcome that you settle with or at least his story.
