LifeProof flooring is not hard to install for DIYers with basic skills, as LifeProof luxury vinyl plank features click-lock floating installation that is designed for DIY, though it requires proper subfloor prep and tools. LifeProof LVP, Home Depot private label made by Halstead, features click-lock system that allows planks to click together without glue, nails, or staples, floating over subfloor with attached pad, making installation easier than hardwood that requires nailing. For DIY, LifeProof installation requires measuring room, acclimating flooring 48 hours, preparing subfloor to be flat within 3/16 inch over 10 feet, and clicking planks together with tapping block and pull bar, cutting with utility knife or saw. Most DIYers can install LifeProof in a room in a day with basic tools like tape measure, utility knife, tapping block, and spacers, costing 1 to 2 dollars per square foot for tools and vapor barrier if over concrete. Professional installation costs 2 to 4 dollars per square foot. LifeProof installation is similar to other LVP brands like SMARTCORE and Shaw Floorte, with easy click-lock. So LifeProof flooring is not hard to install for DIY with basic skills, though larger rooms and stairs are harder and may need pro, and proper subfloor prep is important for stable installation.
