So my property is in a 4 seasons climate, snow in winter, hot in summer and everything in between. its 6 bedrooms and about 40 years old, lots of original fit out so everything costs money to fix or replace...
what i have is:
parquetry floors in kitchen
carpet in all main living areas and bedrooms
tiles in bathroom
what i would like to have:
-eventually replace carpet in living areas, although the warmth is great. the existing carpet is tough wearing and we get professional carpet cleaning every couple of years, usually prompted by a guest spilling something but there will be a time, we will have to call it quits. got lots of rugs to cover stains and protect what is there atm.
-carpet in bedrooms -im still in 2 minds. had guests spill some major stuff in there as well or vomit (yep) so leaning towards replacing that as well
- parquetry - i love it but its particularly worn in places and showing it. do i spend the money to restore it (big expensive professional job, not like normal hardwood sanding) or replace with luxury vinyl. that is the big question and why i ended up at this forum to start with. i don't restoring it will mean i can charge anything more, i would have to update the whole place and it puts me in a different/harder price bracket.... replacing with luxury vinyl is a much cheaper option than parquetry restoration
love to hear what others think?
