Hardwood Flooring- A Timeless Finish
Parquet Flooring in a new Austin Home. Parquet has been popular since the 16th century originating in France. It became increasingly popular in the 1930's but is making a comeback in the 21st century.
As we all know, trends come and go, especially with home styles. Something that has been around for centuries is hardwood floor, dating back to the 1600’s. That may make it sound “Old school” but hardwood flooring is the opposite. It’s something that has been a luxury finish in homes and will continue to be. Wood Flooring holds its value extremely well, making it a great investment for any home owner. But why is it a good investment? Let’s go over a few reasons why.
First, Hardwood flooring, although having a finish that you pick once installed, can be changed as many as two to three times. This creates a lot of room for flexibility in your home. If you plan on staying at your home and later plan on remodeling, getting your hardwood flooring resanded and finished with a new color is a fairly simple process. Especially when compared to ripping out flooring and completely having to replace it. Which brings in budget.
Paying a professional company to come refinish your flooring can cost around $4 a square foot. Refinishing a floor makes the floor look brand new, removing all previous color, dents and scratches. It gives you the feeling of a brand new floor without the drama of ripping out the previous flooring. Once you’ve picked out a new color for your hardwood flooring and have it finished, you’ll feel as if you paid so much more money than you actually did! The fact that you can get this done two to three times after the first installation is huge. Your hardwood flooring will hold it’s investment for years to come.
