What is the best flooring for a kitchen remodel?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Luxury vinyl plank and tile are the most popular choices for kitchens due to their water resistance, durability, and affordability. Porcelain tile is highly durable and water-resistant but can be cold and hard underfoot. Hardwood adds warmth and value but requires careful maintenance near sinks and dishwashers. Engineered wood offers a good middle ground.

Why It Matters

Kitchen flooring must withstand spills, heavy foot traffic, and dropped items. Choosing the wrong material can lead to premature wear and costly replacement.
