Now the most important part if I were to buy the materials would it be way out to think maybe my mom, my sister and I could do a good job installing them even on stairs or will it be a really bad idea to try and do it ourselves?

my father, brother, and i installed the click laminant (wood) flooring last year. It cost us about 97 cents a square foot, and that was cheap for the time, cuz it was a new thing on the market. We installed it ourselves and saved a bundle on labour. The only thing you may have problems with are the corner peices as they can be tricky, since the boards have to (click /snap) together. Also you will need to have some sort of cutting experience with a saw, and cut the boards from the back side so you dont ruin the walking surface. If you have the money hire a contractor so that the work is warrentied. If your strapped for cash, its not all that hard, just follow instructions. One thing i didnt do was use a separater/ transition piece to separate the rooms.(hitting myself now) And by not doing this the boards tend to sorta split apart, i just simply knock them back with my shoes.

The entire house? I would not put hardwood in the bathrooms if I were you. Anyways, if you install it yourself, maybe $2 a square foot for an inexpensive floor. If you pay an installer you can probably tack on another $2-3 per square foot for installation.

Not sure, but another suggestion to look into is bamboo floors. Absolutely beautiful, comes in many shades, and is about 1/3 the cost of wood flooring. Environmentally responsible too.

You can purchase hardwood laminates like "Pergo" for $1 to $2 per square foot, and tongue and groove solid hardwood for $4.00 to $5.00 per square foot at Home Depot. Last I saw Home Depot also charged $4.50 per square foot to install tongue and groove hardwood.

it truly is not too undesirable, yet you ought to also get the cost of fabrics. complete or unfinished difficult timber is yet another decision u can make. in case you flow with unfinished then practice to open your residing house windows for most hours with followers operating.
