you…but we’ll help. Hardwood Floors—Are They Worth the Investment? When deciding if hardwood flooring is ‘worth it’ you need to ask yourself a few questions: 1. What’s Your Long-Term Floor Goals? You’re likely giggling at this silly question, but it is important. Are you installing floors for a temporary home or will this be your long-term family home? Hardwood floors will stand the test of time, as they’re built to last for decades. So, if you’re planning on staying in your home a long time then hardwood can be a great investment. 2. Are you Hard on your Floors? If you’ve got pets, kids or tap-dancing shoes then you’ll likely be fairly hard on your floors. Hardwood floors are actually a great investment for ‘heavy users’ as they are strong—and can be refinished, easily, numerous times over the years, without having to replace them. 3. Do you Floors NEED Replacing? If you’re remodelling your home and are looking to spruce up your floors to match your new decor, hardwood is a great way to do it. Not only will they look extraordinary, you can stain your new floors the exact tone you need to match your new kitchen, new furniture or new paint. 4. Will They Match your Home’s Value? Adding hardwood floors to a home that doesn’t have other like-valued elements simply doesn’t make sense. Will hardwood floors not only match your home’s value but actually improve it’s overall decor? If not, then hardwood floors may not be worth the investment for you. 5. Are You Looking for Statement Floors? If you’re simply looking for a basic wood look, there are some beautiful laminate wood patterns that can give you a similar look for a lower price. But…if you’re looking to floors for a fashion statement—then something like hardwood, stone or cork will be your ticket. So, when you’re asking yourself if hardwood floors are a smart investment for your home, be sure to also ask yourself the above questions. Hardwood floors as an investment truly need to be evaluated on a home-by-home basis. If you’re still questioning if they’re right for you give us a call here at Tony’s Flooring.
