Are you interested in updating your home carpet? According to Forbes, a 200-square-foot area costs $700 to $2,000 for a carpet redo. However, before you balk at that price, you'll want to consider the many benefits you'll gain from making this investment. Below, we've highlighted five reasons to update your home's carpet so you can decide if this project is the right next step for you and your home.

1. Improve Aesthetics

New carpet installations can improve the aesthetics of your home in two ways. First, the new carpet will rid your home of flooring stains, wear and tear, odors, and dirt buildup. It'll also result in your home looking refreshed and clean. Second, you'll have some design freedom for the look of your new carpet. The colors, textures, and styles of the flooring can take the aesthetics of your home to a new level.

2. Increase Lifespan

Today's carpet types have materials built to last longer than older kinds. Modern carpet fibers are durable and resistant to normal wear and tear. These factors result in a more functional living space with quality materials that will last for years.

3. Decrease Allergy Symptoms

Old carpet is a likely culprit for you and your loved ones' allergy symptoms. A worn carpet is prone to harboring damaging dust, dirt, and debris that initiate allergy flair-ups or worsen typical allergy symptoms. Whether you're experiencing coughing, wheezing, itchy skin, or swollen eyes, opting for a new carpet install may be just what you need.

4. Increase Warmth and Comfort

Unlike other flooring types, carpet offers warmth and comfort in your home's living space. Your home will have a welcoming energy that will make all your guests feel snug. Plus, a new carpet installation will include a thicker underpad that adds insulation to your home and makes your flooring feel plush and soft while walking or lying down.

5. Increase Home Value

Due to all of the benefits listed above, the value of your home will increase tremendously after the completed project. This increased home value will result in a financial benefit if and when you decide to put your home on the market. Plus, a new carpet might increase your chances of being seen by house hunters.

With these benefits, there's no reason not to invest in a new carpet install. Start your project today by reaching out to the professionals at Most Valuable Installers. We will be more than happy to help.
