I have carpet in my bedrooms, tile in the bathrooms and kitchen and engineered hardwood in the rest of my condo.
The engineered product I chose can be refinished 3 times since it has a thick layer of quality wood at the top. Due to condo regulations, I could not do a nail-down traditional wood flooring.
I put in the first floor myself (I'm a girl, BTW and that was my first attempt at a project like that.) It was pretty easy. Unfortunately, I had a flood in my apartment and the whole floor needed to be replaced. That floor was done by professionals via my insurance company. Until the flood, I had no problems at all with the DIY floor.
I love the look of the cork and bamboo options out now and would definitely consider them if I needed to make a change.
