If your carpet is looking frayed and tattered or your tiles have seen better days, you might be considering redoing the flooring in your home. You have plenty of options to choose from, including tile, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and laminate. Another popular option is hardwood flooring, but there are a few misconceptions about it that could lead you to choose a different type of flooring instead.
Here are three of the most common misconceptions about hardwood flooring to help you make a more informed decision about the flooring you choose.
- It’s too expensive. This is the most common complaint about hardwood flooring and often leads customers to choose a different flooring material. While it is more expensive than other options at the beginning, it is more of a long-term investment. Hardwood can last significantly longer than other flooring types when properly cared for, so you won’t have to replace it as often. There are also varying options and prices for different types of hardwood, so we can help you find the right material that fits both your flooring preference and your budget.
- Once it’s scratched, it’s done. This is another misconception about hardwood flooring. While it can get scratched over time, you can simply refinish it to restore it to its original beauty and luxury. It’s also a highly durable flooring material, so it’s more likely to maintain its appearance for a while before it starts looking worn and scratched.
- Options are limited for hardwood flooring. While hardwood flooring doesn’t offer as many color and design options as tile, laminate, or vinyl flooring, it does still offer a variety of options to choose from. We can help you choose the right hardwood material and color to match your budget and the overall style of your home.
