bought a house in 98 for $160.000 and sold it for 1/2 million in 2006. Why did not cut any costs on the renovation.

It would help to know what kind of floors you have now....carpet over wood, wood, linoleum?
If you have the original wood floors, and they are not too scarred, I'd refinish them.
You can replace linoleum with tile.
Forget about carpet. Once it gets dirty, it never comes clean, no matter how many times you clean it. The pad and the carpet also are a breeding ground for dust mites and other allergens.
You get what you pay for. Not investing the money now will mean you replace it more than once, which isn't much of a savings.

If you plan to sell it someday, it is best to put in hardwood floors.
Then if you wish, you can put carpet over the hardwood for yourself.
This will give the buyer a choice.
Go to places such as Home Depot and Lowes and talk to a knowledgeable clerk. Home Depot also has a lists of companies that can help you.

what is on the floors a present. Give us a starting point. If it is dirt, you could always plant grass.
