Hardwood flooring is experiencing a renaissance. There are so many perks to hardwood: durability, easy-cleaning, natural beauty. Many older homes already have hardwood flooring, but it’s often covered by carpet or laminate and in need of significant repair. The question is: are the repairs worth it? Or, is it smarter to simply replace the hardwood floors altogether?

Refinishing

To give an old hardwood floor new life, you simply need to sand, stain, and finish it. Where it gets complicated: this can be a long, backbreaking, messy process. Further, it can be just as pricey as buying new. If you value the unique character of your home’s original hardwood, refinishing might be the right choice for you. That said, installing new product could save you time and hassle.

Replacing

Hardwood floor replacement is a great option with a variety of benefits, including:

• Choice in hardwood material and color
• Eliminating squeaky sounds
• Added warranty
• Resilient to nicks and scratches
• Quick process

By choosing to replace your hardwood floors instead of refinishing them, you can get a fresh start. Instead of dealing with the imperfections of existing hardwood, you can select the product that is perfect for your lifestyle, whether that’s aesthetic style or durability.
