Advice

A few things to remember...

First, set a budget…and stick to it! AZFI offers flooring in every price range.

A few things to consider when determining a realistic budget:

  1. How long are you going to continue living in your home?
  2. What is your home value?
  3. How old is your home?
  4. What are your priorities?
  • Remember, as you remodel your home it comes at a cost. Your return on your investment will be about 75% to 85% of what you spend. For every $1,000 you invest, your home will increase in value approximately 75% to 85%.
  • Kitchens and bathrooms are the most important. Flooring, light fixtures, and window coverings dress the house and set the design theme.
  • When remodeling remember that your home’s value and location will have an impact on the size of your budget. The products that buyers expect in a $200,000 house are different than a $750,000 house. However, always remember that it’s your home– you live in it. Make it what you want.
  • Don’t overspend or underspend. Regardless of your budget…enjoy your surroundings.
  • Floor preparation will make or break the quality of the job done. Your new floor is no better than the floor it goes over!
  • Kitchens are the center of your home. Make it an expression of yourself. Backsplashes, kitchen faucets, and color all go into making your kitchen environment your own.
  • Accent walls are used more and more these days.  The ideas are endless and you can really allow your creativity to soar with colors and textures.  Ideas to consider are Tiles, Wood Plank, Marbles, Stones, etc.  You can create subtle textures or bold pops of colors! 
  • Don’t forget your fireplace. Make the fireplace a focal point of the room. Use decorative materials and maybe a pattern or a unique mantle.
  • Remember: Before replacing your floors, consider what each room will be used for. This will help in determining the type of flooring you want.
