Increase the value of your home with hardwood floors

(BPT) Whether you’re looking to sell your home or just modernize it, it always makes sense to consider renovations that will increase the enjoyment of your home and increase the long-term value of your property. One important improvement many homeowners consider is replacing their home’s flooring with solid or engineered hardwood flooring, an investment that can maximize the style and value of a home.

Hardwood flooring transforms a room in an instant. You can choose from many wood species and colors to find the design style that suits you. You can also stay on trend by using hardwood flooring throughout your home for a seamless, unified look.

“Hardwood floors are always eye-catching and add timeless, stylish charm to any home,” says Jennifer Meska, Director of Merchandising at LL Flooring. “Solid or engineered hardwood floors offer a natural look that can vary in color, finish and style, instantly adding modern style and elegance to any home.”

The National Realtor Association’s 2022 Remodeling Impact Report found that homeowners who install new hardwood floors see an average return on investment (ROI) of up to 118%. Additionally, the National Wood Flooring Association found that 99% of real estate agents believe homes with high-quality hardwood floors sell more easily, and 90% believe they sell for a higher price. All of this means that hardwood floors can essentially pay for themselves through resale value.

The timeless appeal of hardwood floors

Hardwood floors have been around for a long time and for good reason. They can perfectly complement a variety of interior styles and offer a natural tone, beauty and elegance that cannot be achieved with any other material.

In addition, hardwood floors are known for their timeless quality – hardwood has been a tried and tested flooring choice for hundreds of years and it is almost certain that it will remain in fashion for generations to come.

Another benefit of hardwood flooring is that you can choose from a wide variety of styles and wood species to achieve different looks. Depending on the needs of your home, you can choose between solid wood or engineered flooring for even more options.

These are just a few examples of the choices available to today’s homeowners from LL Flooring’s premium Bellawood line of solid and engineered flooring, which is backed by a 100-year residential warranty.

Classic, timeless style

Hickory is the hardest of all North American woods, making it perfect for those who value beauty and long-lasting quality, especially for high-traffic areas. The 5-inch wide planks of LL Flooring’s Natural Hickory solid hardwood flooring are factory finished with high-quality aluminum oxide, which provides a reinforced surface and offers excellent resistance to stains, scuffs and scratches.

This natural hickory flooring option features contrasting color variations and unique grain patterns, with colors ranging from light brown to deep brown and reddish tones. Hickory floors are equally attractive in a more classic or traditional home, a sophisticated and modern city loft, or a rustic country cabin.
