Learn from my mistakes and get that wood laminate install done right!
"oh, it's so easy!"


That is what I heard over and over about installing laminate flooring. I guess if you were the average person it would be pretty simple. But I am apparently not the average person.


So instead of telling you how to install flooring, I am going to tell you the mistakes we made and what NOT to do.
1. Don't buy cheap


2. Don't install the flooring immediately.


3. Don't have too many cooks in the kitchen.


4. Don't assume the floor is even with the walls.


5. Don't assume the floor is even either.
Find out more detailed info on WHY I say these things and help on your installation below!
