Easy Diy

I want to DIY laminate floor in my kitchen, is it as easy as cut and glue?

Lowes and Home Depot (no offence, love them!) want just about as much for labor as they do the laminate.They don't remove the old, just glue and lay the new on top. They do come out to measure, for a small fee, and will cut to size, so is this something I can do just as good as them? Any tips if so?

A single sheet of laminate is hard to lay. It's easy to bend, rip or crack it when you're trying to cut it to size and fit corners. If you don't have any experience go with self-adhesive tiles. Just make sure you lay down some chalk lines before you start. It's also a good idea to just lay the tiles out before you reveal the adhesive so you can adjust the tiles as needed and avoid small slivers at either end.

One last tip: make sure you butt the tiles together snugly so there's no gap. Otherwise it might move over time and leave gaps.
