Pro Tips from Someone Who's Been There

Budget Smart

Add 15-20% buffer for unexpected issues. They ALWAYS happen.

Timeline Reality

Plan for 2-3 days minimum. Hardwood? Make it a week.

Labor Matters

Good installers cost more, but save you headaches. Worth it.

DIY Warning

Tile and hardwood aren't beginner-friendly. Vinyl and carpet? Maybe.

Order Extra

Get 10-15% extra material. Future repairs will thank you.

Room Prep

Empty the room completely. Move furniture yourself to save $$.
