The National Wood Flooring Association surveyed real estate agents about the benefits of hardwood flooring in a home.

Overwhelmingly, 82% responded that homes with hardwood often sell faster and for a greater price.

At Smith Bros. Floors, we’d have to agree. We’ve been around since 1918 and with all the modern advances in flooring, it’s easier than ever for Calgary homeowners to find the perfect flooring to fit their home and their budget.

In a recent article in Style at Home they state:

“Between unfinished plank, prefinished strip, engineered and hand-scraped, it’s easy to get confused by all of the flooring options. You’ll need to think about issues like humidity, the shape the existing subfloor is in, how level your floors are and your family’s lifestyle before you pick what’s best for you and your budget. If your TV room is in the basement and that’s where you spend your time, you might go for an engineered option because it can be installed over concrete, and can handle humidity and expansion better than hardwood can. If you’re looking to install hardwood on your main floor or upstairs in the bedrooms, prefinished strip or plank floors are the way to go to save the step and expense of staining unfinished wood.”
