Suggestions for help with flooring for rental

Sam Robbins
Posted

Hi!


I recently purchased my first property in Nashville - living in it for now, fixing it up to rent - it needs some work, starting with the flooring in the first floor. I’m going to be ripping out the carpet and tile and replacing it with vinyl plank. This is the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. I was planning on DIY-ing it, but I’m thinking it might be a little too much to take on myself. Home Depot and Lowe’s are quoting me $2500+ for just the labor to have people come in and do it. Any contractor suggestions that would come in and do it with me? I want to learn how to do flooring and I’ll certainly pay someone, but $2500+ just seems excessive. It’s about 500 sq feet. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!
