You’ve been staring at your floors for a while now. Maybe they’ve lost their color. Maybe you’ve moved into an older Nassau County, NY home and pulled back the carpet to find original hardwood underneath. Maybe you just want to change the stain from that orange-tinted oak finish that was everywhere in the ’90s to

If you’ve ever gotten a flooring quote and wondered whether the contractor is actually licensed — not just claiming to be — you’re asking the right question.

Your agent flagged the floors. Maybe they said it casually, maybe they put a number on it — but either way, you’re now wondering whether fixing them is actually worth it or just another pre-sale expense that eats into your proceeds. It’s a fair question. And the answer, at least for Nassau County homeowners, is
