Just started a rehab in Chicago and it's looking like we need ~3000 sq foot of the wide plank grey good stuff. What's the best local store to get this something a bit higher quality? It's for a vacation rental so there's gonna be high traffic on the floors for a few years. Also, who do you use for installation? Getting a wide range of quotes from 1.75 to $3.00 a sq foot for installation only - getting a bit tricky to fairly price the market.

I second Floor & Decor. Great selection of luxury vinyl tile and laminate. We have only ever installed luxury vinyl tile once (hardwood floors are much more popular in Chicago) and out tiler installed it. Sorry, I don't recall the square foot price of the install.

Nice will definitely check out Floor and Decor! The hardwood in our property is looking pretty old and dated and it seems like refinishing it won't really add to the modern vibe we are going for as a corporate rental. Using laminate because the floating floor gives us an option to remove if we end up going in a different direction. Getting such varied quotes for install from $1.50 a sq foot to $2.75 a sq foot so definitely hoping to find a good GC soon!
