In most cases, it won’t be hard to replace your carpet with laminate. If you love DIY projects, then this will be a great one to try at home. Laminate is one of the easiest floors to install, so if the subfloor is even and the underlayment is good, you’ll just follow the manufacturer’s instructions.   After removing the carpet, you can prepare the subfloor and underlayment. The next step is to install the laminate planks row by row and create a pattern that will be aesthetically pleasing.
