We put this in a house we sold a year or so ago. Im fairly mechanically declined and often use tools to destroy things, but the install went fairly smoothly.

Im a big fan of the Pergo type fake wood floorings. Not so much a fan of the Pergo brand due to the cost compared to similar products. Mainly becuase it does not warp or scratch like real hardwood will. My mother has this stuff in her house and I cannot tell the difference between it and real hardwood by sight. It does sound and feel different when you walk on it though.

The existing floor does need to be really close to level, but I forget what the exact tolerance is. There is a moisture barrier sheet that gets taped down to the bare concrete under the flooring.

You will probably need the install block tool to hammer and pull the pieces together. Also, dont forget the trim pieces, doorway entry barrier pieces, and a miter kit. Make sure you grab the DIY video next to the material in the store as well.

Good luck!
