anyone hire someone to install laminate flooring?

with a bum knee, there's no way I could do this myself. I was just curious to see how much $$ /sq ft did they charge.

We need our master bedroom done (~200 sq ft), then maybe the office (~150 sq ft) and eventually this kid's room (~150 sq ft)

thanks,
rob.

bum knee or not, its pretty freaking easy.
Installation will vary from place to place... .I dunno call?

Point being I don't care how bad your knee is it's easy as pie. :)

installation may be easy, but i'm physically incapable of doing it - i'm going to have my left knee replaced.

well thats more than a "bum" knee that a fubar'ed knee. :)

regardless, I would suggest calling around. Prices are going to vary.

Seems to usually cost more per foot than the laminate itself from what I've seen.

a 400 LB friend of ours did his house from a creeper. The kids unboxed and gave him the boards, he just kept rolling on out of the room. He used the stuff with the built-in pad, so he did not have to worry about tearing it up with the creeper wheels.
There was no other way he could do it himself.
