4 Reasons to Consider Hardwood Flooring For Your Renovation

Whether you’re remodeling your entire home or want to change up your flooring choice in one area, making the switch to hardwood can help you enjoy your home to the fullest. Hardwood flooring installation can instantly transform a space and can allow you to see your house through new eyes. Although there are reasons to opt for carpet, vinyl, or tile flooring in your home, here are four good reasons to consider opting for hardwood flooring for your renovation:

• Durable
  With carpeting or vinyl flooring, you or the next owner of your home will eventually have to replace these materials. But because hardwood flooring stands the test of time, you most likely won’t need to replace properly installed hardwood floors in your lifetime. Hardwood is much less likely to sustain scratches or dents than other materials, so if your home or area in question gets a lot of foot traffic, hardwood is a great option. And if your floor does sustain any noticeable damage, it’s typically a lot easier to rectify — imperfections can be sanded down and refinished with no replacement required.
• Beautiful and versatile
  Hardwood flooring is undoubtedly beautiful and is often the preferred material for most home buyers and owners. And because it comes in a variety of colors, stains, and styles, there’s bound to be a type of hardwood that fits in perfectly with your home.
• Adds value
  Although installing hardwood floors can be a bigger initial cost than some other materials, it adds a lot of value to your home. Plus, proper maintenance ensures that you won’t need to replace it, so the installation is a one-time cost. If you’re thinking of eventually selling your home, hardwood floors are extremely attractive to buyers and have been shown to sell a home more quickly — and for more money. In fact, 54% of buyers are willing to pay more for a home that has hardwood floors! Whether or not you stay in your home for the rest of your life, it’s a solid investment you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come.
• Helps with allergies
  We bet you might not have thought about this one! Carpeting can be a difficult material for allergy sufferers to be around because the fibers can trap dust and pet dander. But hardwood is doctor-recommended! Physicians often recommend that those who suffer from allergies replace the carpets in their home with hardwood. And because this flooring is easy to maintain, you won’t have to worry about cleaning it very often — or sneezing when you do!
