How hardwood floors add value to a home

How hardwood floors add value to a home

You will see value added to your property in two ways. First, you'll recoup 70% to 80% (some go even as high as 90%) of the initial price reflected in your property values. In short, it could add as much as $12,000 to the cost of your home.

The other way it adds value

Real estate sales associates from around the country tell us that prospective buyer will often pay 2.5% more for a home with wood flooring. On top of that, the visual appeal of solid hardwood flooring adds interest to the home sells easier and faster.

Enduring style
Style: No one can ever doubt the allure of wood floors. They are classic, elegant and warm and charm to any room and are available in hundreds of species and a wide variety of colors and finishes.

Versatility: Hardwood floors into all styles of decor, from the most contemporary to traditional.

Long-lasting: We've heard of cases where they last up to 100 years, and they get better with age.

Cost-effective: Usually, all it takes is a refinishing to bring them up to their original luster, making replacement costs minimal or even non-existent and, since scratches are often in the veneer and not the wood itself, a simple refinishing may be all it takes. That fact alone makes them cost-effective.

While they shouldn't be exposed to excess water, hardwood floors are relatively easy to care for as long as they are installed correctly. Wipe spills immediately and put mats strategically in front of sinks and at entrances. Use protective furniture pads when moving, avoid wearing stilettos on them, keep pet nails trimmed, and you'll be enjoying your floors for a long time.
