Scroll through almost any real estate listing and you’ll notice a pattern: hardwood floors are almost always highlighted as a key selling feature. Buyers see them as luxurious, timeless, and a mark of quality. But beyond their beauty, hardwood floors also deliver one of the best returns on investment of any renovation.
Unlike carpet or vinyl, hardwood is an upgrade that holds its value for decades — all while elevating the look and feel of your living space today. If you’re considering a renovation, here’s why solid hardwood flooring can add long-term value to your home.
Hardwood Floors Last for Generations
One of the biggest reasons that installing hardwood floors is such a great investment is because there's a low annual cost. Sure, the upfront costs might be a bit higher than vinyl or carpet but hardwood lasts 5-10 times as long as those materials. Also, keep in mind that installing Easiklip is likely the only floor you will purchase over the next 50 to 60 years of your home which makes the annual costs quite minimal in comparison.
Refinish Before You Sell
Let's say you owned your home for 50+ years and you are thinking it is time to downsize or move to warmer climates. In this scenario, not only will you have had a single hardwood floor over the period of time that you are the homeowner for you to enjoy, you can also have it sanded and refinished before selling to make it look like new.
As a result, you have paid a comparative minimal intial cost to own and enjoy the floor for 50+ years but you can most likely recoup your entire upfront investment (or in some cases make more money) when you sell your home.
A Floor Every Buyer Wants
It may sound like a blanket statement to say that every buyer likes hardwood floor but consider this:
- Hardwood floors are easier to clean and less dusty for allergy sufferers.
- For those that prefer carpeting, hardwood floors can be easily covered with carpet, which will preserve the resale value of your home down the line.
- Hardwood floors match almost any décor while also giving your home a more upscale feel.
- For those who do not like the current color of their hardwood floors, the wood can be sanded and stained to either a darker or lighter color.
- Hardwood floors have little to no maintenance involved.
- Easiklip hardwood floors that get damaged can be easily replaced, which is very helpful for those with pets and kids.
- Easiklip floors are an eco-friendly choice because of their long life span and low emittance of harmful VOCs.
