Why Real Wood Floors Add Value to Your Home (And How to Protect Them)

When it comes to increasing your home’s value, few features typically make a stronger statement than real wood floors. At 901 Elite Floors, we specialize in bringing new life to older homes, churches, and high-end spaces across West Tennessee—and hardwood flooring is one of the most timeless upgrades you can invest in.

Real wood floors offer more than timeless beauty. They are durable, long-lasting, and they never go out of style. Whether it is a historic home or a luxury remodel, buyers and appraisers will recognize the quality and craftsmanship of solid hardwood. That recognition often translates to a higher resale value and quicker sales.

However, the real magic happens in how you care for them.

Here’s how to protect your hardwood investment:

• Keep dirt and grit in check. We recommend that you use rugs near entrances and sweep regularly to avoid scratching the surface.

• Watch the moisture. Wood and water do not mix well. So, clean up spills quickly, and use a damp mop—you never want it soaking wet.

• Use the right products. Harsh chemicals and steam cleaners can damage the finish. So, stick to cleaners that are made for hardwood floors.

• Refinish when needed. If your floors are looking dull or scratched, refinishing can make them look brand new again—and this will also extend their life for decades.

At 901 Elite Floors, we specialize in restoring and installing real hardwood floors that will stand the test of time. We believe your floors should reflect the character of your home—and we are here to help protect that investment for years to come.
