About this item
There is a wide variety of flooring options available — wood, tile and stone, laminate, resilient vinyl, bamboo, and cork — and Installing Floors shows homeowners how to lay them all like a pro. In this new title from the successful BUILD LIKE A PRO series, contractor and experienced author Joseph Truini covers the subject in great detail; he walks readers through the process of installation — made attainable through more than 350 step-by-step photos and illustrations — and explains the benefits and unique properties of different materials. Like previous titles in the series, this book delivers on its promise of, “expert advice from start to finish.”
