Is it worth it to DIY flooring?
My wife and I live in an 1100 sq ft house built in the 80’s. There’s currently carpet throughout the entire house including the kitchen. Due to having dogs and the carpet just being generally difficult to keep clean, we’re considering installing laminate style flooring throughout the house. I’m currently in the process of getting some quotes to have it installed professionally. I’m a total novice to flooring, as in I literally haven’t done anything with flooring beyond moving a rug around. I do have experience using general power tools though. I wanted to know if anyone else with my level of experience, or lack thereof, has successfully installed their own flooring and it turned out half decent? I’m basically hoping to get some encouragement to try it or a warning to steer clear. Either way, thank you! submitted by /u/Awkward_Diet_4414 [link] [comments]
