Hardwood Floors
Hardwood floors are one of the most widely used flooring types in North America and are a very common upgrade from carpet. They are natural, non-allergenic, give a warm feeling to any room, are resilient to staining, and will match any color scheme. Also, being a natural insulator, 1" of hardwood has the same insulating effect as 15" of concrete. However, when purchasing hardwood floor many people choose only by the color, being totally unaware that there are other important factors involved, which often companies do not take the time to explain. Horizon Home Remodeling knows bad choices may create an eyesore down the road, so we want you to be informed.
