Question

How long will it take to put in laminate floors in 1100 square feet?

Answer 1

That is a open question as there are many factors to consider.

The best I can do is tell you that a friend and myself completed a 1500 sq install in one weekend. Now the trick to that was, all base boards were removed, there was no furniture in the home, and all door jams were cut before we started.

Things to consider are you want the laminate in the house and acclimated to the ambient environment at least 24 hours prior to the installation. Make sure the floor is completely clear of nail heads, staples, dirt, rocks, etc. as this will ruin the floor over time. GET GOOD KNEE PADS! Purchase the proper padding for the type of sub floor.

Good luck and it is really not that hard to do.

Answer 2

A couple of professional flooring installers could probably knock that out in a few days. If you're doing it yourself, figure longer.

I had 600 square feet of solid wood floor installed professionally and it took 2 guys just over 2 days to complete the work (8 hour days).
