I'm looking for recommendations on a good brand of vinyl plank flooring. I had laminate installed before, and it was a mistake—turns out it's not very durable at all! I definitely want something that will last, especially since I'm not planning to replace it until I'm retired at 87. Also, a quick question: when hiring pros, do they charge based on how tough the job is or just square footage?

Both the brand and the thickness matter for durability. Remember, a cheap vinyl plank usually isn't going to last long because it’s made with lower quality materials and construction.
Don’t forget that prep work is crucial! Even if you use top-quality materials, poor installation can lead to issues. Make sure you have a solid, flat surface to avoid problems down the road.
I’ve had great experiences with vinyl plank flooring! It’s durable, waterproof, and has worked perfectly for us. I would recommend checking out brands like LifeProof from Home Depot. Just make sure to choose the thickest layer you've got; it's worth the investment!
