I self installed vinyl plank in 3 bedrooms and a living room in our Avondale home right after purchase, and just before moving everything in. It was a VERY busy 3 days!
Installing was quite easy - a few items I would recommend - while you can use a box cutter, you can get a good vinyl plank cutter (looks like the old paper cutters at work) for around $50, and it's worth every penny! They do have cheaper ones, but I found that the cheaper one at $30 didn't last for more than about 2 boxes of cuts. I returned it and got the better one - it lasted for the whole job.
One thing I would change - I got vinyl planks with no padding underneath - I would definitely get planks with padding on the underside - my old feet really don't like constant hard surfaces.
I see several folks mentioning it is easy to replace/repair a section - curious as to how. All the planks interlock, so it seems I would have to start at one side of a room and remove planks until I reached the damage, replace the damaged piece, then put everything back in. Doable, but I wouldn't call it easy. Is there another way to do this?
