You might consider floating vinyl plank flooring. If you get a luxury quality you won't tell the difference from real wood, it's quieter, and it is better than wood in Florida. With high humidity wood flooring can have issues...plus vinyl is waterproof...so there's that.

LA Flooring installed Mohawk Luxury Vinyl Tile plank throughout our CYV for a great price to include moving furniture, removal and haul away of rugs, removal and replacement of floor molding, caulking and repainting of same (and any wall issues). Very fast work. Recommend product and installer highly. We selected the plank style and color and they obtained. NOTE: make sure they leave any overage of plank with you for any future repair needed.

I had luxury vinyl plank flooring installed. It looks like wood but a better option in Florida. Carpet One did a great job.

I second the recommendation!!! They did our home as well and did an excellent job!

LA Flooring was outstanding. Did our 3 bedrooms. Service, timing, and quality of work exceeded our expectations!

I also am a very satisfied Roberto’s customer - just had them rip out the rolled vinyl and carpet that came with my new patio villa, and replaced everything with luxury vinyl plank - have had a lot of compliments, they did great work and house looks great with this upgrade - I also had them upgrade the baseboards while they were at it. I’m in the process now of having Roberto’s paint the interior of home, install crown molding, and also replace the kitchen and bath counters and sinks. Roberto’s does great work!

We just had Roberto’s remove our carpet and entire contents of the living dining room, lay down a vapor barrier and install luxury vinyl plankIng. They added and painted shoe molding to cover the gap from the now missing rug. All within the day.
The Mrs. loves it so much we are now doing our master bedroom and closets floor.

I used CarpetOne - 940 Bichara Blvd, Lady Lake, FL 32159. They did my entire villa with LVP. I love it and it was a fair price. Ask for Laura West. She has good taste and will help you pick it out. They also have a visualizer on their website which allows you to upload pictures of your home and then try out different flooring styles on your computer.

Important to get a moisture test prior to installing a wood floor. We hired Floor Masters to install a wood floor which turned out to be a disaster. They couldn't produce the moisture test they claimed to have taken and would not honor their installation warranty. Cost about $5,000 and we installed a porcelain tile floor.

Not the same as wood. Make sure you get the thickest planks to avoid "clicking" sound when a person walks on it with hard soled shoes.
