Trying to decide on new flooring or what to do for a remodel can be difficult. Many people go online to learn more information about their options to help guide them to the best decision and investment. When it comes to flooring, we believe hardwood is the best option and here are a few good reasons why we think everyone should put hardwood at the top of their list.

Installing or refinishing hardwood flooring can greatly influence the appearance of a room. Hardwood floor can have a modern or classic look, depending on the finish and type of wood. Recent trends show that ebony and gray colored hardwood floors are popular modern looks for 2015. At the same time, scraped hardwood and matte finishes are also gaining in popularity and are great choices for a natural looking space. The added value to a home after a hardwood floor installation is definitely worth noting. Wood flooring increases the value of a home or space and are truly an investment.

One of the biggest benefits of hardwood flooring is the fact that they are so easy to clean. For those who suffer from allergies hardwood flooring can be a great way to improve the quality of the time they spend at home. Carpeting can become moldy, dirty and filled with dust mites. Allergies will be constantly triggered by these factors and become almost impossible to clean. Hardwood flooring eliminates the threat of dust mites and keeps the level of dust at a much lower level compared to carpeting. By adding hardwood flooring homeowners can spend more time enjoying their home without allergic reactions.

The life span of hardwood flooring is extensive. Hardwood floors can last up to 100 years when properly taken care of. The value of the floors will not decrease over time. Often hardwood flooring will outlast the owners of a property by many years.

If you are doing a remodel or getting ready to sell a home, hardwood flooring is the best option for you. According to market research, not only are buyers looking to have hardwood flooring in their new home purchase, but they are also looking for move in ready homes. By adding hardwood, your home will be more likely to sell, and in a shorter amount of time.
