Listing your home for sale can be a stressful time, especially if it’s damaged or dated. Since your floor design contributes to a large percentage of the visible interior space of your home, it is important to do what you can to prepare your space for potential buyers. Here are three ways to revamp your flooring before selling your home so you can attract the right offers. 

3 Ways to Spruce Up Flooring

1. Clean Carpets & Polish Floors

Cleanliness sends a message of careful home upkeep, so consider having your carpets, tile flooring, and hardwood professionally cleaned. Cleaning carpets helps to remove bad smells and stains, and polishing hardwood and tile removes shoe scuffs and surface grime while adding a beautiful shine. 

2. Refinish Your Hardwood

If you have hardwood flooring that has seen better days, consider refinishing the surface to remove scrapes and dents. During refinishing, the entire surface is carefully sanded, and damaged areas are patched or filled. Next, the entire surface is varnished to protect the results. Refinishing can be expensive, but it could breathe new life into a damaged floor. 

3. Replace Your Flooring 

Unfortunately, some flooring damage is beyond the point where the surface can be refinished. For instance, if the flooring is uneven or damaged in several sections, it might make more sense to replace the entire surface. During floor replacement, experts remove existing tile, hardwood, or carpet, and prepare the subfloors until they are clean and smooth. Next, you will be able to select new flooring material and floor designs, and professionals will install it throughout your home.
