I installed Lowes Luxury Vinyl Plank in my lanai myself and have never done it before. Easy! BUT/BUT I have an enclosed lanai. I would have it done in my whole house if I needed to replace the existing flooring. It's great stuff! I even left some scraps of it outside on my patio to see how it held up in rain and heat and finally threw it away months later. It looked the same as when I originally left it out. Traditional laminate flooring is not normally waterproof and is damaged by moisture. This stuff is great for kitchens too. If you choose to install it yourself, pick up a cheap installation kit that helps you with getting the stuff to fit properly in tight areas.
