Hardwood

Hardwood flooring enhances a room and provides a sense of permanence, stability, and warmth. Even in rooms with minimal square footage, wood floors add a well-crafted, upscale appearance. In one recent survey, over 90% of realtors say that wood floors help sell a home faster and for a higher price.

Wood floors tie a room together, yet complement virtually any furniture, artwork, or style. The wide range of species, colors, and patterns offer endless design possibilities. Wood floors are easy to clean and are ideal for people with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems. Because dust particles, pollen, and dust mites remain on the surface, they can be easily cleaned and removed. For the price of a high-quality carpet installation, a well-maintained hardwood floor can easily last beyond a 30-year mortgage, while carpets are replaced an average of three times in the same time span. A wood floor costs roughly the same as a high grade carpet and pad installation. However, carpet is replaced an average of every 10 years while wood floors last an average of 50 years.
