Remove your carpeting
“Modern home buyers are turned off by carpeting,” says Earl White, founder of House Heroes Realty and House Heroes, LLC. “Laying down a shiny new wood floor across easily pays for itself several times over.”
And if you’re worried that authentic flooring is going to cost you an arm and a leg, there are always “good alternatives to traditional wood floors,” says White. “Home renovators can buy engineered or laminate wood for a fraction of the cost of an expensive floor.”
