Answer
It takes a skilled technician 1.5-2 hours to change the starter on a lift.  Can you do it?  I don't know . . . I don't know your skill level.  There is nothing really tricky about it.

Water on the floor is usually from a windshield leak.  If by "kick plate" you mean a door seal you may have a problem with the door weatherstrip seals.  Check that first.
