It’s no secret that hardwood flooring is a luxury preferred by many homeowners. Not only does it look great, but installing it is a good way to increase the value of your home. For those who want to renovate an older home with the intention of selling or those who are looking for a simple upgrade that their family will enjoy, wood floors can do nothing but good for the overall property value. Here are a few benefits of installing each type of hardwood floor.
Engineered Wood
The value on a home is very dependent on the quality of what’s inside. Engineered hardwood adds minimal value to a home, but poses benefits for those looking to marginally increase value. If you’re short on time, sometimes engineered hardwood is the way to go. The installation process is typically much shorter than other options.
Solid Hardwood
If you want to add the most value to your home, true hardwood is your best option. This is the most desired type of wood for homes given the genuine aspects of the product and the versatility it has compared to the alternatives. While it is typically more expensive than engineered options, the long term value outweighs the initial cost. This is because it has the ability to be refinished multiple times and will undoubtedly last longer. In fact, a study shows 54% of homeowners were willing to pay more for a home with hardwood flooring installed.
