Which flooring should I pick — LVP, laminate, or hardwood?
LVP for basements and rentals (waterproof, durable, best value). Engineered hardwood for main floors (real wood, stable over concrete and radiant heat). Tile for baths and entries. The brief prices each so you can compare real numbers, not opinions.
