i have a new apartment just over 1k sqft, looking to replace the current tiles with a wood look flooring. a quick search showed sooo many companies doing it, all claiming to be the best or most experienced. plus there are so many types of flooring, thicknes, and even underlay material. firstly which companies would be best to use (i dont mind paying a bit more if the work and material quality is good). 2ndly what material should i go for that looks and feels like wood, easy to maintain and can withstand water spills etc. plus any other considerations? any help to refine my search would be much appreciated.

Replace? means remove current tiles, re-screed and install? Or simply lay on top of current flooring?
If lay on top current flooring, much faster, cheaper and much much less mess. But need to make sure your door got enough clearance.
Biggest limitation is your budget. If you know your budget and size to do, can already narrow down selection easily.

ya i think lay on top. what is the minimum thickness floor that will last long and feel good to walk on? also i just went to floor depot and they said all their flooring is waterproof. but youtube say all these floorings only water resistant, not waterproof coz moisture gets thru the seams.

Since you're laying on top, I think your thickness will depend on on the floor-door clearance.
