I have put in pergo flooring, And corian counter tops. Tile bath and kitchen

All this you can do for fairly cheap.

The tile work is hard..but simple. The benefit is that when one breaks..you just replace the broken one in the future (be sure to keep lots of extras..the color will change between lots)

The pergo flooring is simple to lay. Again, you can just replace indictable planks when needed.

The corian is the only thing you have to pay a professional to do...but, it comes with lifetime warranty against chipping and staining. Worth the cost in the long run.

All this will make your place competitive with the rest of the local market, but still provide you with some easier maint in the future

Thanks Katie, Did you do Pergo in Kitchen as well or tile? I see HD has Pergo for $2.79 sq ft. so $1469 including kitchen plus labor. Not that handy. Read something about HD having a contractor price that prob is lower.

Pergo (and the knock offs...which are just as good these days) are wood products...they will warp if it gets wet. So, no...not in kitchen. I put tile in kitchen and bath.

Am now looking at LVP since I can put throughout first floor including kitchen and bathroom. Did you consider this before going to laminate?
