As always, you'll have to try to negotiate the dangerous waters of flooring retailers ! Be careful about meaningless words like "luxury", it's being used like the term "healthy" on the many salt and sugar laden products sold as "healthy". The name Roberto's keeps coming up over and over for years now as an honest business, but, always do your own research and ask the RIGHT questions. WHO is going to install your floor ? The store ? Or, is the job going to be "shopped out" like at Lowe's, so you have no idea of you are going to get a quality, or mediocre, crew ? WHO is going to take responsibility for any errors or poor workmanship ? And HOW will you find the same installation people once they leave your home ? Ask PROBING questions no matter where you shop !

Also include questions about material warranty and installation warranty. Do you have pets or considering pets, be sure to ask about the resistance to claw marks. Finally make sure to discuss water resistance, while there have been lots of improvements some products may have a wood core that does not like water.
As for installation, you did not mention the existing floor, I am assuming carpet. When this is removed there will be dust, old glue and small pieces of concrete that all need to be removed, the best way is vacuum and damp mop. If the decision if for a wood plank product pay attention to the underlayment, failure to use underlayment can lead to a floor that makes noise whenever you walk on it. If you go with tile you MUST have a crack suppressant layer installed. This gets glued to the concrete, and provides a suitable surface for the thinset and the tile to be applied.
I have personally done both types of projects. Send me a PM if you would like to discuss further over the phone.

I am very happy with the work Flooring Store servicing Belleview, FL | ANW Flooring ANW Flooring did. They are in Belleview so I do not know if you are in their area.
Do not know how they will stack up on costs. I would go to their store to see what you like and they will come to your home to give you an estimate.

I have used Great Lakes to do my entire house and have been quite pleased.

As others have mentioned here, and re what was my specific experience, you would want to avoid The Floor Shoppe on 301 in Oxford.

We used LA Flooring in Wildwood for pretty much whole house (carpet in master bedroom and tile everywhere else...didn't re-carpet spare bedrooms) and loved them. Family owned, very conscientious and reasonable pricing.

I just used Great Lakes Flooring and could not be happier with the service I received. Their quote was extremely reasonable, it included the tear out and disposal of the old carpet, they moved the furniture and placed it back. installed vinyl tile planks and painted the quarter round trim (I had to supply the paint) !

We have been very pleased with Roberto’s. And will be using them again when we redo the three bedrooms. The choice of type is flooring is much more difficult!
