Hardwood vs. vinyl plank flooring: which is right for your Hampton home?

Both look like wood. Only one of them is actually wood — and that difference matters more in some rooms than others.

Choose hardwood if: you're flooring a main living area with stable humidity, you want a floor that can be refinished instead of replaced in 15–20 years, and resale value matters more than upfront cost.

Choose vinyl plank if: the room sees water (kitchen, bath, mudroom, basement), you want a lower upfront cost, or you're flooring a rental property where durability matters more than resale prestige.

What we see most in Hampton: hardwood in living rooms and bedrooms, vinyl plank in kitchens, baths, and finished basements — often in the same house.
