Can a novice successfully install luxury vinyl plank flooring?

Yes, a novice with basic power tool skills can successfully install luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. Starting with a small, simple room gives you time to master techniques such as plank staggering, notching, and undercutting door jambs. A typical 1,100 square foot single-story home is doable with patience and planning. The learning curve can be managed by careful prep and following manufacturer instructions closely. Embrace a trial run in a low-traffic area before tackling larger spaces for best results.
