Why hardwood flooring could be the last flooring you install

Wood flooring lasts for decades; unless there’s structural damage, all it ever needs is a refinishing.

It also has natural beauty and countless benefits. It's hard to imagine you'd want anything else in your home after this.

Long-lasting beauty

Solid wood has been known to last for 100 years. Engineered hardwood is ultra-durable and can last for decades.

These floors are so versatile they work in any decor. If you do want a change, however, it's no problem with sanding and staining]

There are few, if any, repair and replacement costs. This makes solid hardwood flooring and the engineered version a highly cost-effective option.

Wood flooring also adds value to a property

You’ll see this in two ways. Whether solid or engineered hardwood, you’ll recoup 70% to 80% of the initial cost as reflected in your home values. Theoretically, a home worth 300K could become valued at $316K.

Potential buyers often pay over 2.5 % for a home with these floors. There’s also the visual appeal; homes with wood flooring sell faster when in good shape.

Easy-to-care-for

Elegance and beauty don't necessarily translate to high maintenance. Water is the biggest enemy of solid wood so take measures to prevent it.

Dust mop several times a week) to keep dust and dirt from embedding between planks and scratching. Vacuum once a week and clean and polish a few times a year.

Put mats strategically, especially at entrances. Use furniture pads to prevent legs from scratching.
