Our new house required painting and new carpets and we got both done professionally.
The painting took two blokes 6 days (it's a big house) and I reckon that it would have taken me 3 times as long. I quite like painting but it just wasn't worth it because of the other demands on my time. If you decide to do the painting yourself, don't scrimp on paint, rollers and brushes; the best quality will produce the best result.
Carpet laying is best done by professionals but I don't have any experience with timber laminate or vinyl flooring. As Cookie suggests, do your research before deciding whether it's something you can take on yourself.
