Pergo flooring is not hard to lay for DIYers with basic skills, as Pergo laminate and Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl plank feature click-lock floating installation that is designed for DIY, though it requires proper subfloor prep and tools. Pergo laminate, which is owned by Mohawk Industries and invented laminate flooring, features Pergo's patented click-lock system like PerfectFold that allows planks to click together without glue, nails, or staples, floating over underlayment, making installation easier than hardwood that requires nailing. For DIY, Pergo installation requires measuring room, acclimating flooring 48 hours, preparing subfloor to be flat within 3/16 inch over 10 feet, laying underlayment for laminate, and clicking planks together with tapping block and pull bar, cutting with saw. Most DIYers can install Pergo in a room in a day with basic tools like tape measure, saw, tapping block, and spacers, costing 1 to 2 dollars per square foot for underlayment and tools. Professional installation costs 2 to 4 dollars per square foot. Pergo Extreme LVP is even easier as it has attached pad and does not need underlayment. So Pergo flooring is not hard to lay for DIY with basic skills, though larger rooms and stairs are harder and may need pro.
