The carpet from the stairway and entire 2nd story (3 bedrooms, 2 closets and family room) was removed and laminate wood floors were installed.
Advice:
What I learned from this project was that by spending a bit more on a contractor or installers, the job will be done quicker and hassle-free!
Originally, my husband wanted to remove the carpet and install the new floors himself. He researched for three months on how to install laminate floors and we visited many local stores and distributors. The more we searched, the more frustrating the experience became. I was more concerned about the duration of the project (not to mention the "mess"). Finally, I came across a local advertising magazine and found the right place (which turned out to be highly recommended by our neighbor). We visited the store a few days later and within a week we had new floors!
Materials:
Laminate Wood Floors - $0.00
