When it comes to putting in new floors, the big question always comes up: Should I tackle it myself or call in the professionals?
Some folks love the challenge of a DIY flooring project—it saves money, brings a sense of accomplishment, and makes for a great story later. But let’s be honest… it can also mean sore knees, unexpected surprises under those old floors, and a few “learning moments.”
On the flip side, hiring a pro usually guarantees a polished finish and saves you a ton of time, but it also comes with a bigger price tag.
So, what’s your experience? Have you installed floors yourself, and if so, how did it go? Or do you prefer leaving it in the hands of the experts? Share your wins, struggles, and lessons learned—we’d love to hear them!
