Hardwood flooring can have a positive impact on the value of your home. In a survey conducted by the National Wood Flooring Association, 82% of the real estate agents polled said that homes with hardwood flooring sold quicker and often at the best prices. The specialists at JT's Floor Refinishing, a flooring company based in Springfield, MA, offer these tips on how to ensure that a hardwood floor installation done by a professional boosts the value of your home:

• Pick the Right Option: When it comes to hardwood floor installation, you've got lots of choices, and what works in one room may not work in another. Your options include unfinished plank, engineered, pre-finished strip, and hand-scraped wood. Your lifestyle, your home's humidity, and the condition of the room's subfloor all need to be considered when deciding on the best material for your hardwood flooring. For example, say you're installing flooring in your basement. If that room happens to be a high-traffic area in your home, an engineered option might be best, since it can be installed over concrete and is better suited than other choices for dealing with expansion and humidity. The capable flooring experts at JT's Floor Refinishing can help you figure out what the best flooring options are for the different rooms in your home.
• Go Green: Many buyers prefer homes with eco-friendly components, and the hardwood flooring industry has many options to choose from in this realm. Hardwood flooring that is sustainably harvested and made with non-toxic adhesives and finishes is available. This type of flooring is beneficial for the value of your home, the health of you and your family, and for the environment.
