Linoleum - Is "clean" good enough? Sell Your Home

I'm often asked if it is "worth it" to replace worn linoleum in a kitchen or bath when putting a home up for sale. Depending on the situation I offer different advice. First of all it is NOT always necessary to upgrade linoleum to tile or hardwood flooring unless your home falls into a price range where these upgrades are expected as "standards" by the home buyer. If you have the ability to clean linoleum SPOTLESSLY and it appears as "new" with no cuts or loose or shrinking edges around the baseboard molding then normally it is more than acceptable to have it remain. Keep in mind however, that replacing linoleum is one of the cheapest upgrades that you can do in a house. If you have dated or otherwise "out of style" patterns or colors then absolutely replace it 100% of the time. Watch the video below to see a house I visited recently. The sellers had spent thousands of dollars on upgrades including a brand new kitchen but they missed a very critical and inexpensive fix that shattered their chance at a favorable first impression.

If you had a good eye you would know that LINOLEUM looks nothing like the VINYL in the entry!
