Solid Hardwood vs. Luxury Vinyl (LVP) in New Rochelle

Compare the two paths most buyers and property owners weigh before moving forward locally.

Option A

Solid Oak Hardwood (Classic)

Usually the better fit when you want a simpler path, tighter short-term cost control, or fewer moving parts during the decision process.

Option B (Premium)

SPC Vinyl Plank (Waterproof)

Usually the better fit when long-term performance, durability, or a stronger upside matters more than the lowest upfront number.

Detailed Breakdown

Hardwood adds the most value in New Rochelle but is prone to water damage. LVP in Downtown / Residence Park kitchens/baths is 100% waterproof and scratch-resistant for pets.
