The most obvious pro is the cost. DIY means only paying for materials, not installer labor fees. Another pro is the convenience and flexibility of DIY installation. Those doing it themselves will be able to work at their own pace and do the job in as little time, and on whatever schedule, they’d like.
The cons include the time it might take the homeowner to complete the project. First-timers may find that a flooring project is a lot more time consuming and a lot less convenient than originally thought. A professional team is by far the quickest option for flooring installation.
There is also the risk of making an error that might result in costly repairs and longer installation time. Any cost associated with repairs or redos is fully on the homeowner. However, professional flooring companies have insurance. This means that if the company makes a mistake, the repair cost is their responsibility.
Deciding to completely redo hardwood flooring is a big and costly decision. Depending upon where labor is sourced, materials purchased, and complexity of the home’s floor plan, the total cost can be quite large. Most people leave hardwood installation to professional flooring companies. All of the pros and cons of a DIY hardwood floor installation should be compared before making a decision. The pros should outweigh the cons or DIY may be a costly mistake.
