The only thing I cared about was something neutral that wasn't too beige/yellow and the larger 20" style. It came out great and DH laid it and it wasn't too terrible. </p> <p>I would lean towards replacing with whats already there. Tile for the kitchen and carpet for the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575699 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 07:14:38 +0000 mediagirl 2575699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: oh yes.Tile and wood are quite expensive in comparison and we won't get the money out of it in our area. People want move in ready, but the type of flooring isn't that important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575691 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 06:45:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2575691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I agree- don't put vinyl "wood" next to the real wood! I would probably do a laminate "tile" if you go that way. I assume that's way cheaper than real tile? (Never shopped around for this!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575619 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 21:29:31 +0000 travellingbee 2575619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't want to do wood throughout I'd do some tile (large travertine or something similar). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575608 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 20:58:40 +0000 jetsa 2575608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since you're bumping existing wood I'd look into allure vinyl tile by Home Depot. We did their snap together vinyl wood plank (like the pic above) in our basement and the stick down in our camper and both were good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575595 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 20:30:43 +0000 avivoca 2575595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think Pergo bumped up to existing wood won't look too bad. Either that or maybe some tile in the kitchen and Pergo in the carpeted area? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575591 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 20:26:48 +0000 mediagirl 2575591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: our agent told us in this market, we need to replace.<br /> @Beth24: we would do that but we don't want to bump fake wood with the existing wood.<br /> @T.H.O.U.: we are going to look into it but I think it may be more than we want to pay for since we are selling and not enjoying it.<br /> @Angil2000: I hadn't heard of that. I'll look into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575560 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:23:07 +0000 Beth24 2575560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: vinyl planks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575552 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:00:52 +0000 Angil2000 2575552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pergo makes a really awesome laminate "tile." We used it in our kitchen. Ours is called Ligoria Slate and it was all done by Home Depot. Highly recommend. I'd look into something like this is wood to match the rest isn't an option. If you're doing laminate I'd go for the tile look to contrast the wood instead of a wood look that won't match everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575533 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 18:35:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2575533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beth24: is yours vinyl planks or vinyl sheet? I think that's a big difference. </p> <p>Is matching the other wood even an option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575532 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 18:34:42 +0000 NCSUchick27 2575532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL and BIL just recently installed groutable luxury vinyl tile in their kitchen and laundry room. They did it themselves in one weekend, and it only cost them a few hundred dollars. It looks great, and the only way I could tell it wasn't real tile was that it wasn't cold like a tile floor normally is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575525 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 18:13:58 +0000 Beth24 2575525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did vinyl "wood" and it looks awesome! Was very against it when the flooring ppl suggested it, but it's really easy to clean and doesn't get sratches from pet nails. Here's a pic of ours when it was installed.</p> <p>[attach=5711/16/o9ej7a.600x450.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575520 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 17:37:44 +0000 autumnlove 2575520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laminate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575517 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 17:28:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 2575517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a buyer is like to see wood floors throughout. But since my knowledge of pricing on these things comes from hgtv, can't say how expensive it is and if it's worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575516 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 17:26:01 +0000 sunny 2575516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is leaving it alone an option? </p> <p>Otherwise maybe laminate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575513 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 17:12:22 +0000 Smurfette 2575513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wood to match the rest </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/replacement-flooring#post-2575499 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 16:29:24 +0000 mediagirl 2575499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you needed to replace your carpet and vinyl flooring, as seen in this picture, what would you do? It's just for resale. Lower prices neighborhood so it can't be high end. The rest of downstairs is wood. </p> [attach=251/16/o9eed0.450x600.image.jpeg]
