Adds Value to Your Home
Wood floors can add value to your home. When it comes time for you to sell your home, buyers will pay more for a house with hardwood than carpet. Many home buyers don’t want carpet… especially somebody else’s carpet.. Many home buyers would plan on replacing carpets, which is why they will pay more for a house that already has hardwood floors. Because it’s a sought out feature, wood flooring may even help sell your house faster.
Easy To Clean
Hardwood floors are incredibly easy to keep clean. They can be swept, steam-cleaned, or vacuumed to remove any dirt or debris that has accumulated. Imagine not having to clean very often, while still knowing that your floors are not harboring any environmental hazards like dust mites or pet dander. What makes wood floors even easier to maintain is the fact that they are significantly more stain resistant than carpets. If you spill something, all you need to do is wipe it up.
Can Be Refinished
Unlike all other plank flooring options, hardwood floors can be refinished rather than replaced when the finish needs an update. The cost to refinish is significantly lower than buying and installing new flooring.
