OT-July BBQ "Flood" damages

Since I've had several people ask...The contractor State Farm sent out just left.  Here's what he's recommending to the insurance company.  Upstairs bathroom: new subflooring and replace vinyl tile.  Downstairs Utility room: paint/repair ceiling, replace vinyl flooring.  Hall: replace laminate flooring and paint walls.  Downstairs bathroom: replace vinyl flooring.  Unfortunately we have old fashioned vinyl flooring everywhere and they will only pay to replace it at their cost for the product and labor.  If it didn't cost so much for the labor, I'd love to upgrade it to ceramic tile.  He will submit on Monday and we'll see what they say.  The downstairs bathroom actually got no damage but he said since the vinyl was stained he'd submit it and see if they approved it.

Steph, the laminent wood flooring is pretty easy to install IF you and Clay want to DIY.  Blane and I did our house in Houston, took time but once you get started it goes fairly quickly.

We did our's originally too.  Unfortunately State Farm pays the contractor directly so there's no way to "make any money" on the deal.  Since that's the case, we're letting them do it all.

How do the prices compare and the labor prices?  I want ceramic tile in my kitchen and dining room(we have laminate in the kitchen and carpet in the dining room now).  I like the thought of the "tile-like" stuff, especially if it's comparable and cheaper.  If it would withstand my dog having peeing accidents on it better than the laminate has...curled up and bloated in the seams...nasty. She's way better than she used to be but still has the accidents occasionally and we catch them and clean them as quick as we can.

what do they do about grout with the tiles? I like the idea of the "fake" tile to replace real tile.  Real tile is so cost-prohibitive for installation.
