Planning Your Laminate Flooring Installation

 

Laminate installation is often viewed as a DIY project, but that might not be the best option for everyone.

 

There are significant aspects of installation better completed by an experienced professional. Consider both scenarios to decide if you should do it alone or have your new floor installed by a pro.

 

 

Professional flooring installers have the tools and experience needed to deal with challenges. They’ll also ensure your floor is installed correctly, with the proper underlayment for noise reduction.
