I really do not like the echos from tile floor, especially in the bedrooms. I found Mohawk Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring (Lowes) that was an easy DIY project, and I did not have to empty the room for contractors to remove carpeting and install new flooring. Took me 2 weeks 2 to 3 hours a day to do 2 bedrooms, 3 closets, 1 hallway (about 800+ square feet), and all the rooms were useable every day, saved $$$$, total material cost was under $1500 about 3 years ago. Very happy with the results, and this flooring is relatively quiet almost as quiet as carpet.
