What Flooring Adds Value To Your Home?
Whether you’ve just moved into your house or are getting ready to sell, there’s never a wrong time to think about your financial future. Any new floors can reinvigorate or reinvent your home, but the right flooring choice can also add real monetary value to your home.
While these floors may cost more up front, they’ll also give you a better return on your investment when it comes time to sell your property.
Hardwood Flooring
Everybody loves hardwood floors, and not just because they’re luxurious, beautiful, and long-lasting. They can also increase the value of your home by up to 3%, depending on the quality and quantity of wood you choose.
Wood floors also offer enough variety that you can find a species to fit any interior decorating style. Check out maples, oaks, and hickories for classics that potential buyers will love.
Tile Flooring
Tile floors aren’t just for your bathroom and kitchen. Like wood, tile flooring is timelessly beautiful and immensely popular. Unlike wood, tile is particularly sought-after in humid climates like Florida, where wood floors can warp from absorbing airborne water.
Because tile floors have such a diversity of kind and quality, your return-on-investment is going to be tied directly to the size of your renovation budget. Marble and granite are going to improve your home’s value more than simple ceramic, but this comes with a greater up-front cost.
Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Luxury vinyl flooring is ideal if your current floors are less than stellar, but you don’t want to pay tile or hardwood price. Perfectly waterproof and exceptionally durable, luxury vinyl can imitate all the beauty of traditional hard surfaces at a much lower cost.
Vinyl floors won’t provide as great an ROI as hardwood and tile will, but they can still increase the value of your home in the long run. These are also the best floors for beginner DIYers, so you can save on the cost of installation.
Whatever floors you choose, just make sure you give your home a consistent design. Homebuyers may walk away from a property with a different type of flooring in every room.
