Hardwood Floors Spark Joy According to New Remodeling Report
Move over, Marie Kondo. It's hardwood floors that spark great joy for homeowners, according to new findings in the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report, a joint study from the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
The NAR/NARI report aimed to calculate consumers' viewpoints toward their projects upon completion. Projects that made the renovators want to remain home, or remodel jobs that sparked an increase of enjoyment among occupants, received a high Joy Score, with 10 being considered a perfect Joy Score. Some tasks that were awarded scores of 10 were as follows: hardwood floor refinishing, painting a home's entire interior, painting one room, adding a home office, closet renovation, and insulation upgrades, among other labors.
