Remove Old Flooring. Doing some prep work before you hire a contractor can save you money. You could save up to $3.50 per square foot by removing the old floors yourself.

The Art3d peel-and-stick wood flooring is a budget-friendly way to update floors with minimal effort. Each box covers 54 square feet, making it an excellent deal compared to other flooring options.

Co-owner Craig Tribuno said the old flooring was 15 years into a 10-year lifespan and all the kitchen equipment had to be removed in order to get the work done.
