But it is a lot, and I do mean a lot of work to maintain. We run into people that have had saltillo before and won't buy a home again that has it. They want simplicity of care. Dave Barbara,

I think it can really accent a southwestern style home. But it is a lot, and I do mean a lot of work to maintain. We run into people that have had saltillo before and won’t buy a home again that has it. They want simplicity of care.

I am purchasing a home in the Show Low area and will put satillo in the home there. It is warm, has the feel of western/southwestern living, and definitely fits the old Pueblo. I have a ceramic thoughout my house that is gorgeous and I have wished a 1000 times that I had put down satillo. I have bullnosed corners and archways and it would have looked better, I think. Look at the leading magazines and see how many ads and homes use satillo. I don’t think satillo hurts a home sale in Tucson, especially if it fits the style of the house.

If has been neglected, it may or may not hurt the value of the home, depending on the condition. It can always be restored to new new condition for a nominal amount, especially compared to replacement and turning off a prospective buyer. Usually, a home with Saltillo, will have a southwestern flavor and be the right choice there. All natural products have a real charm that the imitations attempt to replicate. While they may need maintenance, it is always easier and less expensive to keep up with maintenance, than put it off. Of course that is true with everything in life. For the do-it-your selfers, I suggest you call Mexican Tile Company for the right products and procedures to maintain your Saltillo floors.
