We have yet to see a wood floor depreciate. Quite the opposite! Adding a hardwood floor to your home can even increase the market resale value of the home should you decide to sell at some point.
Real, solid wood is something that will be around for more years than you might first imagine. Some hardwood floors are even as old as our nation itself! The White House, for example, has wood floors that are still walked on, and just as beautiful as they have ever been. In fact, carpet will need to be replaced an average of five times in the same time it takes a hardwood floor to even need any type of repair.
When you choose hardwood for your floors, you have the option of choosing prefinished or unfinished. If you go with unfinished hardwood, it can take several days to finish the job of installation and finishing. Prefinished hardwood is a much quicker installation process.
