1903 house sand and refinish in Dickson TN

This job is still a work in progress the home owner sold the home he was living in and wanted to move in, so we sanded and refinished the floor.  This is out of order the house and walls should be done before we sand the house but the client wanted to the floors done so he could move in while he worked on the rest of the house.  We put ram board down to protect the floor.  I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the floor before they got covered with ram board.  When I do the showers ill post pictures of the hardwood.

The true cost of hardwood V Carpet

I have been asked many times what is more money long term carpet or hardwood.  It is really an unfair question because they are two very different products each with totally different benefits but here we go.

I did this over a 15 year period and based it upon carpet costs $3 sq ft and hardwood cost at $7 sq ft factoring in maintenance for carpet at .35 sq ft for cleaning and hardwood at $1 sq ft for a buff and coat and 2.5 sq ft for a full refinish.   With customers normally replacing carpet every 7-8 years recoating their floors every 7 years and refinishing every 15 years and the house being ready to sell at the end of the 15 year period.  I used 1.5 sq ft price for cheap builder grade carpet to be installed to sell the home and the area being 1000 sq ft.

There are different things to think of obviously the longer the period the more the hardwood will save you money.   Some people dont clean their carpets as they should and some will move every 7-10 years so why invest the money into your home.  But if I asked my financial planner what to do with the money he would tell me to fully fund my roth ira or whatever.  Its a bad investment, I dont know anyone who picks a floor based on their return on investment.  You want a floor that will last and hardwood flooring will outlast almost any carpet.
