GoodLifeFamilyMag.com MAY JUNE 2016 47 Flooring Want to pump up what your home is worth Just look downat the floor Leibow says updating floors is another home improvement with a payback. New floors can give your home a fresh new look. Replace flooring in all areas that could possible get wet with hard surfaces such as tile stone wood or vinyl plank says Steven Pidgeon CEO of Star Floors in Dallas. That means the kitchen bath laundry and entryway. Pidgeon notes the latest trend is luxury vinyl tiles and luxury vinyl planks that have the look of tile and wood yet are durable cleanable and waterproof. Theyre very realistic the industry has really gotten good at this. Pidgeon also recommends eliminating any evidence of the prior owners habits or experiences. For instance remove carpeting that holds cigarette smoke or pet odors as well as that which shows a foot traffic pattern. Replace with a neutral color for the best resale potential. Whatever improvements you choose to make remember they can not only make an impact on your homes resale value but also offer you immediate gratification and enjoyment.
