I certainly know nothing in the way of flooring, but as conversation was less than a month ago, I still retained a few facts! He works with all different types of flooring and strongly recommends ceramic tile because it is longest lasting, most durable and easiest to clean and keep clean. Good luck with your remodel!!!

Laminate is very unforgiving. I've see the damage a spill can do. They look beautiful until then. Thanks for the good luck wishes! I think I was OCD before we started this project and now I'm just crazy with the mess that comes with remodeling. I wipe, clean and move things around when the painter leaves and then the next morning I see another mess. He's pretty good at cleaning up but not as good as me. If I ever do anything like this again Hannah and I are taking a 2 week vacation in the Bahamas and I will hire someone to totally come in and clean my house from top to bottom before I get home. Hannah & my Chi, Holly are camping upstairs while the downstairs is being done. Hannah loves it up there for some reason??? My Chi not so much! I can hardly wait until this is all done!!
