Home Buyers See Value in Hardwood Floors, Says Mr. Sandless

According to the National Association of Realtors, hardwood floors are among the most sought-after house features of prospective home buyers. That is why Mr. Sandless is encouraging home sellers to make sure their wood flooring is in tip-top shape.

Mr. Sandless Founder and CEO Daniel Praz recommends that homeowners follow the steps below before placing their home on the market:

1.  Evaluate Your Floors: The first step to determine if your floors need
    refinishing is to simply give them a good look. Are there areas where
    the sheen is uneven, or where the finish is missing completely? Are
    there sections or areas on the floor where there are boards that are
    turning grey or black? These are all good signs that a floor refinishing
    is needed. It is not a good idea to simply ignore these signs because if
    the finish is worn off your floor, board damage could occur, making the
    refinishing process a costly one with board replacement.

2.  Consult a Professional: Wood floor refinishing is not something you want
    to try on your own! While many rental places and big box stores will
    rent you the equipment to attempt to sand your floor, it takes a solid
    year of apprenticeship to learn to handle a sanding machine properly.
    Without this training, you can ruin your floor in just a few moments.
    Professional floor refinishers, such as Mr. Sandless, have the training,
    system and know-how to make refinishing a simple and affordable process
    without moving out of your home!

3.  Choose a Sheen: The sheen you choose for your floors directly impacts
    the entire feel of your home. So don't be afraid to experiment by asking
    your professional to show you samples of gloss, semi-gloss and satin
    finish. A gloss look can add a "wow" factor to the showing of your home,
    where a satin look will present a more subtle appearance. Choose what is
    best for the look and feel of your home.
