Home » Blog » 5 Flooring Upgrades That Increase Property Value —LVP, Tile & More

…and why property managers, facility teams, and owners keep asking for them.

If you’re looking to boost your property’s value without breaking the bank, flooring is one of the smartest places to start. It’s the foundation of every room—literally—and it speaks volumes about the quality, cleanliness, and care of your space. The right flooring choice can help you lease faster, reduce maintenance costs, and create a better experience for everyone who walks through the door.

Let’s break down the five flooring upgrades that are actually making a difference in the field—based on real feedback, case study results, and proven ROI.

1. LVP & LVT: The Look of Luxury Without the Price Tag

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) continue to dominate the commercial flooring scene—and for good reason. You get the modern aesthetic of wood or stone with unbeatable durability and water resistance, making it a top pick for high-traffic areas like multi-family housing, senior living, or retail environments.

“After we upgraded to LVP, our tenant turnover time dropped significantly. It’s easier to clean, lasts longer, and gives units that high-end feel tenants are looking for.”
Jamie B., Property Manager, Multi-Family Housing

2. Carpet Tiles: Smarter, Faster, More Flexible

If you’re still installing broadloom carpet in commercial spaces… it might be time to rethink that. Carpet tiles are making waves thanks to their ability to be replaced one square at a time. They’re budget-friendly, visually versatile, and reduce waste in the long run.

“Carpet tiles changed everything for our maintenance team. We’re able to replace small sections without tearing up an entire floor—huge time and cost savings.”
Leo M., Facility Director, Assisted Living Facility

3. Rubber & Antimicrobial Flooring: Safety First

For hospitals, gyms, childcare centers, and schools, choosing the right commercial flooring isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about safety and health. Rubber flooring and antimicrobial surfaces reduce slip hazards and help meet compliance standards with ease.

“We noticed a drop in slip-and-fall incidents after switching to a rubberized surface in our rehab center. Plus, the antimicrobial layer gives our patients peace of mind.”
Karen S., Director of Operations, Healthcare Facility

4. Engineered Hardwood: Where First Impressions Count

Whether it’s your leasing office, lobby, or executive suite, engineered hardwood delivers elegance and performance. It offers a more stable and moisture-resistant option than traditional hardwood, making it a great fit for spaces where you want to impress.

“We wanted that ‘wow’ factor without the maintenance headaches. Engineered wood gave us a luxury feel—and helped seal the deal with new clients.”
Derrick F., Regional Director, Commercial Real Estate

5. Stone & Ceramic Tile: Built to Last (and Look Great Doing It)

Entryways. Kitchens. Restrooms. When you need flooring that can handle wear and tear—and still look sharp—stone and ceramic tile are a go-to. These materials instantly elevate any space and stand up to moisture, grime, and heavy foot traffic.

“We installed ceramic tile in our high-traffic entrances and immediately got compliments from guests and staff. It’s a small upgrade that made a big visual impact.”
Michelle T., Facilities Manager, Hospitality Industry
