I'm also a native New Yorker and have been in The Village for 12 years.
We were here for a couple of years before deciding to replace carpeting, but instead of vinyl we went with hardwood flooring.
Since we were already here for 2 years, we had all our furniture in place, and it did not seem to be an issue.
The place we purchased the flooring was Floor Masters - 9581 US-301, Wildwood, FL (352) 399-0090
They have a large selection of hardwood, but I also believe they have tile and vinyl.
I don't know if it is the same today, but when we went the place was jammed packed with homeowners and contractors.
If you can I suggest you give it a try.
