When I speak to potential sellers here in Valley Village and around Los Angeles, they often ask me "What do I need to do to get my home ready for a quick sale?"
I ask my seller to think like a buyer. I say "What would you look for in a home that you would consider buying? What would you think of your home if you were a prospective buyer?" Often their eyes settle on the floor and they realize, their flooring has to go! If this is the case for you, there are some things you should consider...
If you are looking to install wood flooring , you will likely be looking at a several thousand dollar investment. When making an investment that large, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of flooring options so you can choose what is best for you and your family. Here are some things to consider when choosing between laminate and hardwood:
Pros of Laminate Flooring
Easy Installation
Easy Maintenance
Cost-Effective (Usually 1/2 the $$$ of hardwood)
Cons of Laminate Flooring
Appearance (Not authentic)
Potentially Dangerous (Slippery)
Pros of Hardwood
Boost Home Value
Visually Appealing
Easy to Refinish
Very Durable
Environmentally-Friendly
Cons of Hardwood
Expensive
Prone to Moisture Issues
High Maintenance
If you currently have hardwood floors but they are in less than ideal shape, there is a good chance that you would refinish them for less than the cost of replacing it! Get a few estimates from professionals and weigh the cost and expected outcome against doing a full replacement.
