Vinyl laminate flooring has come a long way since I first started using it. It is now one of my favorite projects to do. The quality of the materials has improved and they have so many stylish options to pick from. Not all products are the same and that is one way I help clients, by making sure they get the best return on their investment. You don’t want to buy the cheapest stuff; it is hard to install and typically doesn’t last and you also don’t need the most expensive to have a great outcome.
Vinyl laminate flooring has become a popular choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their space without breaking the bank or spending weeks on installation. This durable and stylish flooring option offers a number of advantages, making it an ideal solution for busy homeowners.

- Low maintenance: Unlike hardwood or carpet, vinyl laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal upkeep.

Professional Installation for Optimal Results
While vinyl laminate flooring is relatively easy to install, hiring a professional handyman, like me, can ensure a seamless and long-lasting finish. A skilled installer will have the expertise to properly prepare the subfloor, cut and fit the planks precisely, and install the flooring correctly to prevent issues like gaps, unevenness, or buckling.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Improper subfloor preparation: Uneven or damaged subfloors can lead to problems with the installation.
- Incorrect cutting: Cutting the planks to the wrong size can affect the overall appearance and functionality of the flooring.
- Poor installation: Not following the manufacturer’s instructions or using the wrong tools can result in subpar installation.
