Advice on Flooring

[Nicole Rhim]

Hello, everyone. I'm a first-time investor, and my basement needs to be remodeled. I have been back and forth on LVP vs. porcelain/ceramic floors. The area is a B area and is getting better over time. I currently have ceramic tile throughout the basement. I have looked at different apartments in the area and am trying to gauge them, but I also want something that will last long-term. Any advice? Also, should the flooring be the same in every room? Any contractors you recommend (I had someone do the upstairs last time, but they were okay). Also, do you have any ideas on what I should be doing with that wood colored box in the living room? Should I paint it the same color as the cabinets will be? (dark brown). Thanks!

as a remodeled I always think about repairs and replacement.  tile maybe more durable and longer life but will look more dated sooner and expensive skilled install.  Tear up will be torture for tile.

keep an extra box of whatever you use for eventual repairs.
