We all love a good DIY project, especially when they go as planned. Pinterest expectations are exciting until they turn out to go sadly wrong. Certain home projects are unquestionably best suited for a skilled professional. Flooring installation is one of them. Below are three reasons why you should consider hiring a professional:
They have experience! Sure, you can watch YouTube and study the installation guide, but when it comes to completing a quality flooring job that will look amazing, a steady hand and years of experience is key to assuring the beauty and longevity of your new investment.
Tools! Carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl, sheet vinyl, they all require different and specific sets of tools to complete the installation. Confronting a new project, especially a substantial one like flooring installation, the proper tools are essential. Using tools you may have on hand that look similar is just not feasible. Attempting to use substituted tools can cause more waste, and an unprofessional appearance of the floor; not to mention you could seriously injure yourself. Don’t risk it, hire the professional!
They will save you money- Many people think doing it yourself will save you money. However, think about this... A proper installation requires a level of knowledge, experience and equipment. A professional will know how much to order, what tools to use and how to avoid wasting time and product. A professional installer requires much less overage than a DIY installation- costing you less money. Flooring isn’t a cheap project in your home. While you are learning what direction to lay the floor, debating over which padding or tools you may need, how much to order, learning tips and tricks, and more... a professional could have already made real progress on your project. Undertaking a flooring project on your own will likely increase the time required and could lead to higher costs.
Release the stress and hire a professional. You’ll be thankful you did!
