Installing new floors?

Trying to decide which TYPE of floors to install?

At 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, we’ve worked in real estate for quite some time. And naturally, we’ve had to make all sorts of decisions about properties… INCLUDING what types of floors to install to fit both budget and aesthetic.

Since there are a lot of options, we thought we’d drop by and give you some pointers.

Here’s a breakdown of the choices!

𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 — Laminate flooring is sturdy and resists warping, as well as scuffs or scratches. Aesthetically, it can match almost any style. Cost is between $1 and $7 per square foot.

𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥 — Hardwood flooring is beautiful, long-lasting, and can go with any decor. It’s susceptible to moisture, however, and costs as much as $14 per square foot.

𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘭 — Vinyl flooring is inexpensive and very resilient. It only costs $1 to $5 per square foot.

𝘉𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘰 — Bamboo flooring has similar beauty to hardwood flooring. It’s durable and made from a renewable source. It costs $3 to $8 per square foot.

𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 — Ceramic tiles are great for kitchens and bathrooms. They come in a lot of different colors and styles. Cost is between $1 to $20 per square foot.

𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘮 — Linoleum is an eco-friendly choice. It’s also very durable and comes in a lot of vibrant colors. Cost is between $2 to $5 per square foot.

Hope that helps!

Warm house for less money

Want to keep your home warm without breaking the bank?

At 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, we’ve helped a lot of homeowners with a lot of problems… and we’re no spring chicken when it comes to keeping a property heated on a budget.

So we thought we’d come by and drop some tips for you :)

Here you go!

𝘜𝘴𝘦 𝘢 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 — Many of the newer space heaters are extremely energy efficient. So try turning down the thermostat by a few degrees and put the space heater in the rooms where people spend the most time. Most of them are also easily portable and can be taken wherever they’re needed.

𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵 — A smart thermostat is a little spendy up-front, but it’ll save money in the long-run. It allows homeowners to set exactly when the house should be exactly what temperature. Most people save about $180 per year by using a smart thermostat.

𝘜𝘴𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 — It might sound counterintuitive, but we recommend using credit cards to pay utility bills, so long as the credit card used offers good cash back and there isn’t a high transaction fee.

𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘴 — Installing solar panels is a big upfront investment, but it’ll definitely save plenty of money in the long-run on all of the home’s utility bills. Plus, there’s a big tax deduction included when solar panels are installed on a home.

Hope that helps!
