Excerpt from the Book:
Homeowners in search of just the right flooring have never had more options. It’s a safe bet that no matter what your budget, DIY expertise, or décor preference, you’ll find a flooring solution that perfectly suits your needs and tastes. To go along with the traditional choices, technology has expanded flooring possibilities in recent years, most significantly in the form of laminate flooring. Laminate flooring is a popular manufactured product that provides some cushion underfoot and an appearance that mimics other floor types, such as wood or slate.
Of all the home improvements you can choose to handle yourself, flooring may be the most rewarding. You probably own most of the tools for laminate or linoleum panel installation. If you’re concerned about your ability, take courage. Installing a floor does not require exceptional strength or skill—just planning and care.
