Why We Love Wood Floors for Homes
There are many reasons to love wood floors. They are timeless, classic, warm, and instantly enhance any room in your home. If you have been thinking of adding wood flooring to your home and need a little extra nudge, allow ED’s Paint & Decorating to help! Whether you want to add wood flooring to one area in your home or do a total home floor redesign, there are many reasons why we love wood floors for homes. Read on to learn more!
Reason 1: Increases the Value of Your Home
Whether you are looking to move in the next few years or are staying put for the foreseeable future, it is always good to enhance your home to make it sellable when you are ready. One of the reasons why we love wood floors is that they instantly increase the value of your home. In fact, potential home buyers are privier to buying homes that have wood floors than old carpet. After all, carpet tends to cling to every spill, accident, and piece of dirt, which is not exactly appealing for someone looking to move in. Wood floors boast an elegant, clean feel that will instantly make potential home buyers happy.
Reason 2: Manageable Maintenance
If you have owned carpet in the past, you have probably spent a good amount of time cleaning them over and over and over, especially if you have young children or pets—beings that tend to create chaos wherever they go. It’s practically a rite of passage to scrub some sort of stain out of your carpet when you’d rather be doing anything else. And the smells that carpet clings to? No, thank you. That is why another reason why we love wood floors is that they are incredibly easy to maintain. Simply vacuum, wipe, or mop down the floors and move on with your day. No worrying about staining or smells clinging to the carpet. Wood floors also do not hold onto pet dander and dust like carpet does, which is perfect for people with allergies.
Benefit 3: Cost Effective
It is no surprise that wood floors can get quite expensive, depending on what type of material you choose and how big your floor plan is. However, we encourage prospective wood floor buyers to consider the long-term cost benefits of wood floors. In fact, another one of the reasons why we love wood floors is that they are so incredibly cost effective. You don’t have to spend money on extensive cleaning and you don’t have to worry about extensive damage, as wood floors tend to be very sturdy. While you will be spending up front for your wood floors, the long-term benefits are worth it.
