Replacing Condo Floor in Miami, FL Highrise

[Daniel K.]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to replace about 500-600sf glued-down engineered hardwood floor in a downtown Miami-area condo. Besides having a hard time finding a person to do such a small job when a permit is required, i'm having a hard time deciding what material to go with.

Since the majority of the cost is labor (i'm being quoted around $5/sf install without material), i'm inclined to go with a slightly more expensive material if there's a benefit to it.

Any suggestions as to what I should go with?

I would like it to be durable, low-maintenance and neutral so it is easy to rent. Also, I want something that is currently popular and won't go out of style quickly so that I don't have to redo it anytime soon.

I am currently looking at high-gloss porcelain tile which many miami condos have these days.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Daniel
