Answer
DIY floor installation can save you approximately three to six dollars per square foot in labor costs. For a typical 1,100 square foot home, this equates to thousands of dollars saved by taking on the work yourself. The key is balancing your time investment, typically forty to sixty hours, against the money saved. Starting with one room to learn the process helps avoid costly mistakes. Overall, DIY offers financial benefits alongside pride and control over your new floors.
