DIY vs. Call a Pro
Laminate is the most DIY-friendly flooring. Acclimate planks 48 hours, install underlayment, and click planks together starting from the longest wall. Use spacers for expansion gaps. A pull bar and tapping block are essential tools.
Call a professional when:
Consider a pro if subfloor requires significant leveling, for large areas where seams must be planned carefully, or for intricate room layouts with many transitions.
