Who doesn’t love DIY projects, especially when they work out exactly how you had planned? Perfection, however, isn’t usually the outcome. We are all familiar with Pinterest Fails and the many attempts gone sadly awry. While other people’s misfortune can be very entertaining, it’s less amusing when you are talking about your own house or hard-earned cash. There are some home projects that are definitely better if left to a professional. Flooring is one of those projects, and here are three reasons you should consider hiring a professional to help you.
Leave Flooring to the Professionals Because They Have Experience
Let’s face it, you can’t master everything by watching YouTube. Sure, the internet can be great for tips and tricks, but actual experience installing floors is huge when it comes to completing a job that will look amazing, instead of like a Pinterest Fail. Flooring professionals have the experience, and in many cases the testimonials, to back it up. Make sure you ask to read those reviews!
Leave Flooring to the Professionals Because They Have Tools
What tools do you need to install hardwood flooring? How about vinyl? Sheet Vinyl? Tile? Each of these flooring options requires a different set of tools. When faced with a new project, especially one as big as installing flooring, having the right tools is not just a convenience. It is a necessity! In many cases, you cannot substitute one tool for another that seems similar. You will absolutely waste material, your floors will most likely look sloppy and you could seriously injure yourself. Don’t risk bodily harm! Trust a professional to bring and use the proper tools for the job.
Leave Flooring to the Professionals Because They Will Save You Money
If you are a diehard DIYer or weekend warrior, you may already be mentally objecting to the concept that paying someone to do something you could do yourself would save you money. But think about the following. A properly done job requires a level of knowledge, experience, and proper equipment. A professional will know how much flooring to order, what tools to use, and how to use them efficiently to avoid wasting time and product. Could a homeowner figure all that out? Yes, technically. But all of those things cost both time and money. While you are puzzling over how to properly lay out the tile, debating over which adhesive to use, and whether or not you have the right mallet, a professional could be getting your floor done. And while you are learning the hard way how to measure and cut the product, and wasting a significant amount in the process, a professional could be making real progress. A DIY floor job will take you longer and could cost you more, than hiring a professional to do it for you.
