Prefinished or unfinished? This is the question faced by many homeowners who are considering installing hardwood floors. Prefinished and unfinished options each offer some unique benefits. Carolina Wood Floors in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, wants to help you refinish floors with ease and choose the best options for your tastes and budget.

Below, the Carolina Wood Floors staff offers some insight to help you decide whether you should order unfinished or prefinished floors:

• Installation: Prefinished floors are ready to install, which means all the hard work and elbow grease have already been completed at the factory. All you have to do is make sure the floors are installed correctly. You don't need to worry about sanding or adding a stain to complete the floors. A prefinished hardwood floor is complete as soon as it is installed.
• Customization: With prefinished floors, you are getting the manufacturer's design, which leaves little room for customization of color or adding your own personal touch. Unfinished floors, however, can easily be tailored to suit the needs of your décor, taste, and budget. Let Carolina Wood Floors help you customize the ideal hardwood floors for your home. An unfinished wood floor can also be easily re-sanded and re-stained years later to the trends of the day or the desires of the next homeowner.
• Time: With a greater focus on personalization, it's not surprising that installing unfinished floors is a bit more time-consuming than prefinished hardwood. If time is an issue, prefinished floors may be better suited to your needs. Carolina Wood Floors will happily install whatever type of floor you find most appropriate for your space.
