Quick answer

Which floor is best for Florida?

LVP or porcelain tile for most rooms: both are waterproof and handle humidity, sand and pets. Engineered hardwood works in dry rooms; solid hardwood does not belong on a slab.

What is the best flooring for a Florida home?

Luxury vinyl plank or porcelain tile for most rooms. Both are waterproof and shrug off humidity, sand and pets.

Do you remove old tile and carpet?

Yes. Tear-out, slab grinding and haul-away are part of the quote.

How long does a whole house of LVP take?

Usually 3 to 5 days including tear-out. Tile takes longer because thinset and grout need to cure.

Do you bring samples?

Yes. LVP, laminate, wood and tile samples come to the estimate so you see them in your light.
