In today’s volatile economy, it’s very difficult to predict what will happen in the housing market. With never ending changes in the lending industry, and short sales and foreclosures at an all time high, many buyers and sellers are uncertain of where home values are going.
That doesn't mean consumers shouldn't invest money into a home, rather that they must be conscientious when making home improvements to ensure money spent will provide a good return on investment when it's time to sell.
One of today's top trends in home improvements is the addition or renovation of hardwood floors. As with many decor trends, fads change and go out of style before a project can even be completed. However, hardwood flooring offers a timeless and classic design that will stand the test of time. Consumers have a wide array of choices when it comes to hardwood flooring, including which rooms to install it in, the various types of hardwoods to choose from, and even accents and custom designs.
Home decorators and designers will be the first to tell you that hardwood flooring offers ageless elegance and style to any living area.
We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby! (In refinishing floors that is….)
If you already have hardwood floors but they are in less than great shape, you may shutter at the prospect of refinishing them because of the huge mess that it creates. Well, think again!! Sanding and finishing hardwood floors is typically a messy process that leaves dust in your home for weeks! Now, with the Bona Atomic Dust Containment System from BonaKemi, dust during resurfacing is virtually eliminated. Utilizing powerful vacuum systems attached to all sanding equipment, this state of the art technology will virtually eliminate the airborne dust that could otherwise settle back down into the finish. Not to mention, this system also provides a healthier environment for flooring employees and family members. The system contains 98% of the carcinogenic wood dust created by the sanding process. Who knew that even the flooring industry would one day “Go Green”?!
So I guess the answer in many cases is………To Hardwood!!
