I agree, traditional solid hardwood adds most value. Depends on how long you are staying in the home. Also have to look at cost. I did high quality LVP for half the cost of mid range solid hardwood. Would solid wood's value make that money back for me? Maybe, maybe not. As a 5-7 year home and expecting my first kid in 2 months and dogs, LVP made sense.


I definitely think LVP has it's place. It's great in bathrooms, sun rooms, etc. I just wouldn't want 2500sq ft of it throughout my house.


I told my wife after kid #2 I'll make sure she gets nice wood floors in our retirement village because there's no way I'd drop that kind of money on flooring with 2 small kids and 2 big dogs.

we debated this heavily, went with LVP, been in house about 7 months multiple places separating at the butt end. id never recommend this flooring. wish we had done traditional hardwood and tile in the bathrooms.

This.

I put lvp down in my laundry room and a bonus room last year. Covered ugly old tile in the laundry room and ripped out nasty old carpet in the bonus room. Huge improvement to both.

As much as I like the lvp in those rooms, when I do the master bedroom later this year it's going to be hardwood.
