Flooring?

When you say DIY - like you’re just going to the stores to order and you’re doing the installing?
Otherwise, there’s prob not much difference between the box stores as long as you get the actual flooring department guy.
Menards always gives off builder grade vibes to me but that’s just my opinion

Are you just looking for the snap in laminate flooring? Home Depot's lifeproof is pretty good.

Agreed, with the caveat that it is waterproof-ish. Super durable though.
That is the plan. Got a guy we use. Getting rid of some carpet in the attic as well, Have a cat. Carpet must go. He prefers the Lowe’s here in Brookfield. But checking to see others opinions on retailers.
Agree but in some applications you will need to put down underlayment, which isn't cheap right now. Might change the elevation of the baseboard...
just put the quarter round molding if it is a noticable gap.
Going to remove some tile as well. The original design was odd.
You just put it right on top of the old flooring, or straight onto the plywood?
Basements should have a vapor barrier, but I don't think that's the case for upper level floors.
Nail gun for the qrtr round!!!!
Used a hammer on my first room and it didn’t go well 😂

There's a rather large difference between a " handyman " and a " home builder ", I'm guessing...
Yeah I think the old wrist would be a touch sore.
If you have a floor&decor near you I suggest going there. Better than all the box stores and you will be surprised how competitive they are on prices
I went through a flooring supply/installation store. I think the quality is a little better.
He’s retire home builder. Does a lot of subcontracting. We’ve used him for several other projects. Drywall, decking, etc. His own house he remodeled. Old Milwaukee 4 story. Lots of work.
Pre-drill baby, pre-drill...
I'm always snooping on zillow, and I'm often intrigued by the peculiar design choices people make.
Zillow Gone Wild are great accounts for finding weird design choices.
There’s a thing called expansion that lvt needs. Base board on top of floor only, looks tacky as ****. Put a shoe trim down to transition
It's not a rental...
He get out of it during covid? Best friend's dad used to be a home builder. Then covid hit when he was in his late 50s. Homebuilding slowed down so he turned to home renos. Now he only does renos because they're faster to turn, easier to manage, don't have to deal with hiring a crew, and he can make a better profit margin.
Old oak wood flooring in every room on main floor. Tile in kitchen. And tile connecting bedrooms and hallway that connects to kitchen.
Yep, plus he’s older now. Just doesn’t want to hassle with a crew or big project.
Retailers are all the same generic stuff. Lowes generally has the most variety. Shitty vinyl plank will break apart really easy because they have flimsy grooves. Most I've done has been fine though. There have been a couple times I got a box in and refused to continue to job with it. If they've got sample squares grab one and literally try bending the grooves and see if it has some play or if it breaks. As long as it's not complete trash it's all kind of the same.
Bro. You need to have your man work directly with the importer. Italian marble requires a lot of attention to detail and you can’t do it all yourself.
Poors!!!!!
