While not every DIY project is created equal as it relates to the amount of value it adds to your home, you can rest assured that you won’t regret updating your floors. Depending on the length of time you’ve resided in your current home, floors can look outdated and become damaged. So, how do you choose the right flooring option for maximum resale? We’re going to share with you some insights to help you work through those tough decisions.  

Solid Hardwood

If you’re searching for a product that will provide the maximum ROI for your home, look no further than hardwoods. Real estate agents project that homeowners recover around 106 percent of their investment when investing in hardwood floors.

Solid hardwood is made from solid lumber and then milled into a specific thickness and width. The result is beautiful planks where no two pieces are exactly alike. Other flooring options have been developed over the years to compete with solid hardwood, but homeowners still love its classic beauty.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood is also made of 100% hardwood, but it is constructed in layers of wood veneers. This cross-layer construction projects the same beauty of solid hardwoods but makes them more resistant to humidity.

Homebuyers will love the visual resemblance to traditional hardwoods with added durability. Engineered hardwood also comes in a variety of wood species that will fit any contemporary or traditional spaces.

Waterproof Flooring

Looking for something that can withstand a busy and often hectic lifestyle? Waterproof flooring is the perfect fit. It’s especially best for areas of your home prone to water damage, such as kitchen spaces and laundry rooms.
