Popular flooring options compared

LVP dominates the market for its waterproof durability at $3-$6/sq ft. Engineered hardwood ($5-$10/sq ft) adds warmth and resale value. Porcelain tile ($4-$10/sq ft) is ideal for bathrooms and entryways.

DIY vs professional installation

Click-lock LVP and laminate are DIY-friendly. Hardwood nailing, tile setting, and carpet stretching are best left to pros. Professional install adds $2-$5/sq ft but ensures warranty coverage.
