Looks great! One of your best. Although I still think that The Second Chance House is your best one so far. But Second Chance was staged and this one isn’t–it does make a big difference.

Alex -

Definitely true about staging. I would have loved to have seen this one staged…it would have looked amazing. But, then again, I’m pretty happy that I likely won’t have to stage it!

How much was the rehab for this project?

Never mind I found it. Thanks!

Wow! This one looks great. I noticed carpet in the bedrooms – would you ever go with hardwood floors if they were under the old carpet? Is one or the other better for a higher end resale project? I’m trying to help my mother-in-law make the decision. Thanks.

Hey Sean -

I can put down nice, new carpet for less than it would take to refinish hardwoods (the bulk of all the carpet made in the U.S. is only about 90 minutes from where I live). So, unless I needed hardwood as a selling point, or unless it were a higher-end rehab, I would generally just use new carpet in the bedrooms.

That said, if refinishing the hardwood were cheaper, and if I were certain the owner would prefer that over carpet, there’s certainly nothing wrong with hardwood in the bedrooms.

Another thing to consider is the climate…if it gets excessively cold (like where you live), carpet may be a better choice just from an insulation and comfort standpoint.
