Hi, I was in the floor covering business for ten years and my father was in it for 20. I installed carpet, vinyl, some formica, laminate flooring, and also tile. If you have any questions regarding any of these topics let me know I will do my best to answer.

Hi,

maybe you can help me. I found this deal on-line for laminate tiles but I'm not sure I can install them on my own. Could you tell me?
