5 Ways Tile Can Boost Your Home’s Value
Whoever owns this room understands the value of new and professionally installed tile.
Home upgrades are not just expenses, they are investments. There are many things that you can upgrade in a home that will increase its value, and new tile is near the top of that list. According to an article from Costuless Flooring, “Real estate professionals often note that homes with tile flooring tend to have higher appraisal values. This is because tile is seen as a long-term flooring solution, reducing the need for immediate renovations.” This does not just hold true for flooring in particular. Tile, in many different areas of your home, is a surefire way to boost the value of your property. If you have still not hopped on board the tile train, here are 5 reasons why tile is one of the best investments that you can make in your home.
Adds Visual Appeal to Key Spaces
One of the most obvious effects is that you get an immediate boost to the visual appeal of your renovated area. Adding or replacing the tile in an area can make this section of your home stand out, bringing an instant pop to that room or space. You want to focus on areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, or entryways. This is usually where tile is found in every home, and these are also the most value-impacting areas of your home. The easiest way to make your home feel more modern and clean is simple - new tile.
Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance
Another often overlooked benefit of tile is that it lasts for a long time, and there is very little maintenance required to keep your tile in top-notch shape. Compared to other options, tile is one of the most durable things that you can install in your home. Not to mention, tile is usually very easy to clean. Other options may leave you with higher repair costs, more maintenance, and special cleaning routines to keep it looking fresh.
Water and Stain Resistant
Tile is water and stain-resistant. This makes it a top-tier option for areas like your kitchen and bathroom, as we discussed earlier. Tile will make these areas more functional and minimize the risk of long-term damage. Using alternative options in these spaces may cause moisture to get into areas where it should not be, increasing the potential for the growth of mold and the risk of structural damage. This is also why it is important that you seek the help of a professional when taking on a project like this, as we talked about in the post “Why Professional Tile Installation Matters”.
Works With Any Style
Tile is great because you can always find an option that works with the style of your home. Because of all the different materials and styles out there, you are not as limited as you might be with other options. Tile is versatile. You can find tile to go with modern, rustic, traditional, and the list goes on. Also, it is easy to update the tile in an area without taking on a full renovation project. You don’t have to completely remodel your kitchen to install a new backsplash, making improvements or changes in style quick and cost-effective.
Increases Buyer Confidence
Homes with quality tile will feel more “move-in ready” to potential buyers. They walk into your home and see that you have taken care to ensure that a bathroom, entryway, or kitchen has high-quality materials and installation, and they instantly feel more at ease. They don’t see a need for major renovations, so they feel more confident in making an offer on the home. This will lead to quicker and higher offers on your home, and allow you to get the most out of your investment.
So, if you're looking to make a smart upgrade that looks good, lasts long, and adds serious value to your home, tile should be at the top of your list. It checks all the boxes: durable, stylish, easy to clean, and attractive to future buyers. Whether you're staying put or thinking about selling down the line, investing in new tile is one of the easiest ways to elevate your space and get the most bang for your buck.
