Get A New Floor
A new floor is a worthwhile investment. It can have a sizable return on investment (ROI), and -- in fact -- buyers reveal that they will pay up to $2,000 extra for quality wood inlay flooring. Remember, you do have different types of floor designs and materials to choose from. You may choose to replace floors with hardwood, carpeting, clean laminate floors, radiant flooring, and more. Keep in mind that each material may require different floor installation tools and have specific advantages and disadvantages. Wood, for example, may vary from soft woods (pine and spruce) to hard woods (oak, walnut, and maple), and installing a hardwood floor can improve air quality, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In 2015, It'll Be All About Decks
"Adding a tiny 16 x 20-foot wood deck with a bench, planter, and a few steps leading to the yard creates a natural transition from indoor to outdoor spaces," HGTV explains. And it's in high demand. Outdoor spaces, including functional patios and decks, are ever-growing in popularity. More and more Americans entertain, cook, and relax outside. Right now, homeowners can easily earn a 72.8% ROI by installing a new deck, and that return is only likely to increase in the future.
Make one of your new years resolutions to finally start that home improvement project. Research floor installation tools, designs, and materials and/or install a new deck for the most practical and profitable projects.
