Installing new floors can completely transform your home—but should you do it yourself or call in the pros? It’s a big decision, especially if you're trying to stay on budget while still getting the results you want. At Laminate Flooring and More in Orange City, FL, we hear this question all the time—and we’re here to help you make the right call.
Let’s break it down.
The Appeal of DIY Installation
Doing it yourself might sound like a money-saver. And in some cases—like small rooms or peel-and-stick tiles—it can be. You’ll avoid labor costs, work at your own pace, and feel proud of your finished product.
But there are some important trade-offs. DIY flooring installation often requires renting or buying tools, learning techniques on the fly, and possibly making costly mistakes. Uneven subfloors, poorly cut pieces, or incorrect underlayment can cause long-term issues that lead to expensive repairs down the line. And if you’re installing in a high-traffic area? Precision really matters.
Why Professional Installation Just Makes Sense
When you work with Laminate Flooring and More, you're not just getting flooring—you’re getting peace of mind. Our highly skilled and experienced installation team knows how to prep the space, work efficiently, and install with lasting quality. Whether it’s hardwood, laminate, vinyl, carpet, or tile, we’ve done it all—and we do it right the first time.
Professional installation also ensures your manufacturer warranty stays valid. Many brands require professional installation for coverage, which protects your investment if something unexpected happens.
And let’s not forget your time. Installing flooring can take days—or even weeks—if you’re juggling it around a busy schedule. Our team gets it done quickly, cleanly, and with minimal disruption.
Hidden Costs of DIY Flooring Projects
Before you go all-in on DIY, take a good look at what’s really involved. Beyond materials, you might need to budget for:
- Tool rentals or purchases (saws, spacers, moisture meters, etc.)
- Subfloor leveling or repair
- Disposal of old flooring
- Fixing mistakes
These costs can add up fast—sometimes wiping out the savings of not hiring a pro. And if you accidentally void a product warranty or damage subflooring? That’s money out of your pocket.
