Both options can add value, but it depends on the condition of your current flooring. Refinishing is cost-effective if your floors are in good shape, while a brand-new installation can provide a stronger selling point for potential buyers. Our team can assess your floors and recommend the best option for your goals.
If your floors have deep structural damage, warping, or have already been refinished multiple times, a new installation is often the smarter long-term choice. Otherwise, refinishing may restore them beautifully at a lower cost.
Hardwood flooring is one of the most sought-after features for homebuyers. A new installation can increase your property’s resale value and make your home more appealing on the market. On average, homeowners can expect to recoup a significant portion of the investment, while also enjoying the beauty and durability of new floors.
A brand-new hardwood floor installation can last 30–50 years or more with proper care. Refinishing an existing floor typically extends its life by 10–15 years, depending on the condition of the wood and how many times it’s been refinished before. If your floors are structurally sound, refinishing can be a cost-effective option — but for worn-out or damaged floors, a full installation is the longer-lasting solution.
