When it comes to installing new floors, there are so many options. Do you go with carpet or hardwood? Laminate or luxury vinyl tile? What color? What pattern? And if all of these questions weren’t enough, there is the biggest question of all. Do you install your floors yourself or leave it to the professionals?
Here are a few things to consider, and hopefully, it will help you to make the decision a bit easier.
THE PLUS SIDE OF INSTALLING FLOORS YOURSELF
When it comes to taking on a home improvement project, there are many reasons why some people choose to do it themselves. 
Money - The number one reason people choose to install floors themselves is because they want to save money. There are people who have worked on remodeling jobs or new home builds and already know the basics of putting in hardwood floors in a dining room or how to cut tile squares to flow seamlessly throughout a bathroom. Hiring someone else to complete a job you already know how to do would be a little silly, so in this case, doing it yourself would save money.
Time - When you decide to take on any home improvement project, you get the freedom to decide your own hours and schedule.
Pride - There’s nothing like the pride that comes after accomplishing a big task like installing floors yourself.
THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF INSTALLING FLOORS YOURSELF
Waste - When you choose to install flooring yourself, there is no doubt that you will make more than one mistake. It’s a part of figuring out something new. However, your small mistakes can add up and cause you to have a lot of wasted material. Wasted material also means wasted money.
Tools - Do you have the specialty tools like a knee-kicker to install carpet? Do you have the right kind of saw to cut through tile? Sure, you can always rent tools. However, you also need to know how to use them properly. One wrong move could land you in the emergency room and crush your remodeling budget.
Wrong measurements - When installing floors, every measurement counts. You may not notice it right away, but a few wrong measurements here and there could lead to disaster later on down the road. You could end up having to redo your floors or make costly repairs.
