Likely the most used material in Central Ohio homes today is granite. Most homebuyers have opted for granite counters in their kitchens. Ceramic tile has dropped to the wayside and been replaced with hardwood floors in kitchens and lighter wood finishes seem to dominate over the darker oaks of earlier days.

Considering doing some remodeling in 2008? You might want to consider checking on local trends. Certainly you want what appeals to your tastes and desires, but if you might sell in the next few years, your investment will return much higher if you stay with current trends.
