[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4330497, member: 27991"] Pro: Carpet is less expensive, WARM in winter. Less labor cost to install. Easy to change color / style. Fast install. Condition of slab not as critical. Con: cleaning, wear, pets. Cheap carpet looks CHEAP, wears quickly. Pro: Hardwood engineered plank looks great, easy to clean, lasts for years. Con: labor cost, slab level, wood on concrete considerations. Pro: Ceramic wear, looks, styles. Easy to keep clean. Con: COLD, HARD, chips / cracks, slab shifting, slab level, labor intensive, no traffic for 24 hrs after install. We have carpet in bedrooms. Red oak hardwood in living room with an area rug. Engineered plank in dining room and kitchen. Sheet vinyl in bath and utility. I have sold and installed every type. GET WHAT YOU LIKE. Resale is subjective. Some see one flooring as an upper scale or positive selling point. The next will view the same floor as a negative. That's why we have choices. One point I will push, IF you choose carpet, do NOT get POLYESTER! Nylon only. [/QUOTE]
