Replacing carpet with vinyl or wood

[rrwayne]

Has anyone replaced carpet with vinyl or wood? I am assuming that under the carpet is at least 1/2 inch plywood.

I am not looking for how-to-do-it info, just want to know if others have done it successfully without any major problems.

As always, THANK YOU.

We recently had a floor repair done and when they went to put the vinyl back in it had shrunk, like 1 1/2 inches from the wall. Replaced all the vinyl with laminate flooring and we love it. No issues with slide clearance and very easy to maintain.

I think vinyl would work well and look good too but I would think that wood could add more weight than you'd like.
