HARDWOOD FLOORING VALUE



                  ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME!!!




 Homeowners, real estate agents, and interior designers all agree on one thing: hardwood floors offer more than just elegance and style, they can also add enormous resale value to any home.



While new flooring may seem costly at first blush, a CNN report found that homeowners stand to increase their property value by 3-5% simply by installing hardwood flooring. For a $350,000 home, that’s a margin of up to $15,000. Whether you’re limiting your new floors to the living room or filling your home with espresso-colored walnut, a renovation with a nearly guaranteed return on investment is nothing to sneeze at.



Investing In Your Property

When renovating, a homeowner’s first priority should be adding to their property’s resale value. Updates to plumbing, roofing, layout and design are all decided with a future sale in mind, and every renovation is meant to raise that price higher. That’s why hardwood floors are such a popular renovation project: because homebuyers are willing to pay a premium for homes with hardwoods.

Not only will they pay more for them, but many buyers have come to expect hardwood flooring when they browse new homes. For those buyers, hardwoods are essential, not a luxury, and they want their new home to be move-in ready. These homebuyers may not even visit a prospective home if it doesn’t already have hardwoods.

Even if you don’t plan on selling your home for years or even decades, the investment will still pay off. Hardwood floors are remarkably durable and can last a lifetime when properly installed and maintained.

6 Questions to resolve Before Buying  New Floors By  J & J Flooring  and  carpet Supplies inc.   1. Where is the room located, and how will it be used?

Also, if the room will serve as an entry area for your home or a play area for pets and kids, look for flooring that can handle wear. If the floor needs to support a wheelchair, walker or cane, make sure the flooring material will allow easy, unobstructed movement. 2. What is your climate? Wood can warp and buckle, and carpet can mold in humid environments.
