Hardwood Floor Restoration Beats Replacing It!

Nov 3, 2013

Hardwood Floor Restoration Beats Replacing It! - My Floor RestoreWhen a hardwood floor begins to look worn out and damaged, one has to decide whether to have the floor replaced or instead go with hardwood floor restoration. There are a number of very good reasons to have your current floor restored instead of replaced. Consider the following:

  • Material Cost – The cost of supplies required to restore a hardwood floor is much less than buying the materials for a new hardwood floor.
  • Sales Tax Savings – Less material cost also equates to lower sales tax expense, and in areas where labor is not taxed, it can be next to nothing for sales tax on a hardwood floor restoration.
  • Time Savings – To replace a floor entails taking up the previous floor, which adds considerably to the time it takes to do the job.  The actual installation is a bit longer than a restoration, as well – about 3 hours longer for a 300-square-foot room.
  • Earth Friendly – With the exception of bamboo, hardwood floors take wood resources from the planet that are not quickly replenished. Restoring a current floor is better for the planet.
  • Overall Cost – The overall cost for a hardwood floor restoration is about 1/3 of a hardwood floor replacement.

Depending on the quality of the original hardwood floor, it can be restored a number of times before it needs to be replaced. A professional can assess your floor to determine if restoration is an option and give you a quote so you can see how much more affordable it is to restore instead of replace.
