Pros: Low maintenance, budget-friendly, and versatile for any room. Brands like Coretec or Shaw are popular.
Cons: Can fade under direct sunlight if low-quality.
Porcelain Tile
Why It’s Great: Stylish, extremely durable, and water-resistant, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor patios. Resists Florida’s moisture and heat.
Cost: $5-$15 per sq ft (installed).
Pros: Wide range of designs (e.g., wood-look or stone), easy to clean, and long-lasting.
