Why to Get Rid of Carpet

Making the switch from carpet to hard floor is an extremely common request. If you're on the fence, here are four key reasons our clients are glad they made the change.

1. Selling or Renting

Hard floors are widely preferred by renters and buyers. If you're renting out an apartment, hard flooring like vinyl is more durable and — unlike carpet — does not need to be changed between tenants. Hardwood floors specifically tend to sell more quickly than homes with carpet, and they add value to the home.

2. Style

It goes without saying that hard flooring is more modern. There's also a wide range of options — laminate, ceramic, hardwood, vinyl and linoleum. You can use wide tiles or planks, different stains, and even several species of wood to get exactly the look you want.

3. Day-to-Day Maintenance

Hard floors are easier to clean, don't stain as easily or trap odors, and stay in good condition much longer than carpets.

4. Long-Term Maintenance

Whereas carpet has to be replaced, hardwood floors are simply refinished. Other hard floors are also more durable and longer-lasting, making them a better long-term investment.
