What is the best alternative for carpet flooring

[Ally Gao]

Good afternoon everyone!

My tenants just moved out. I will need to remove the carpet and replace it with something durable and cost effective. What is the best alternative flooring that you would recommend? 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Either laminate or vinyl flooring would be a good choice. since it's cheaper 

I’m not a fan of carpet at all, especially for rental properties.

After many dozens of flooring replacement jobs, I'd recommend LVP (vinyl) for most installations.  Don't use sheet vinyl--tears way too easily.  

BTW, if you have hardwood or even pine under the carpeting, you might consider refinishing the wood.  It's a cost-saving up front and lasts longer than many other choices.  (Not in bathrooms).

Good luck.  Keep investing and moving forward!

Vinyl flooring is my top choice for achieving a clean, modern look at a lower cost.

Its versatility and durability make it an ideal option for various rooms, from kitchens and bathrooms to living areas and bedrooms. It's relatively easy to install and maintain.
