Carpet argument vs. wood is same in houses. Everyone feels very strongly it seems, just half for wood and half for carpet.

In homes, pull it up and you might see anything. Sometimes rot and you have to pull every bit of the sub flooring out, maybe even joists, and start over. Then the occasional home buyer gets the surprise of their life. Underneath the horrible carpet they find incredible hardwood just needing to be refinished. Those apparently were owned by people like my mother. She wanted carpeting throughout but it had to be on top of hardwood floors.
