Many things can be done to upgrade a new home. One of the most popular ways a homeowner can improve their new investment is to replace the floors. When moving into a new home – particularly foreclosure homes and stressed homes – the owner is often faced with a house full of ancient stained carpet or pitted and vinyl or wood floors in a state of horrible disrepair.

 

New or refinished hardwood floors instantly increase the market value of your new home. According to the Hardwood Flooring Center, hardwood flooring can add as much as $10,000 to a home's resale value. They last a lifetime and are always in style, a worthy investment! And you’re no longer restricted to the basic hardwoods such as oak. Make them uniquely yours. Today you can customize your color, get an exotic wood like bamboo, elaborately design the borders of your room, and on and on.

 

You have many options when it comes to improving your flooring, including money-saving options. Maybe you're getting ready to move or you've just realized how abused your floors look. Don't immediately call a professional installer to refinish your floors – it can cost up to $2,000 for 400 square feet and is a cumbersome project. Do it yourself with Orange Glo Hardwood Floor Refinisher - a $10 bottle will take care of the same amount of space. Twenty minutes to apply and one hour to dry - you've saved yourself a lot of headaches, along with thousands of dollars. Best of all, your floors shine like new all over again!

 

So make some immediate improvements to your floors, whether they’re new or old. Orange Glo can help refinish your old floors and keep your new floors looking new.
