Well, the holidays are in full swing. Thanksgiving, Christmas and
Black Friday. (Is Black Friday a National Holiday??? lol.
Probably...). Along with cooler days and nights, Christmas lights going
up and mad dashes to the mall to shop, people will be trying to spruce
up their homes in anticipation of visiting family members.
You
may not realize this but you really only have about 2 weeks left to
shop for new flooring for your home. The lead time for most new flooring
is about 7 to 10 days. By the time you pick out and order the flooring,
have it shipped from the manufacturer or distributor and get an
appointment date for installation, it could take easily up to 2 weeks or
more during the holiday season.
With this being the
busiest time of year for carpet and hardwood flooring sales and
installation it is not uncommon for flooring retailers to be booked out
for 3 or more weeks. Let alone the fact that a lot of the most popular
styles and colors that are in high demand will be out of stock which
will just about insure the fact that you won't be able to have your new
flooring in time for Christmas.
So, there is no time like the present if you are planning on updating your old flooring.
We've
actually installed new carpet on Christmas Eve before but I wouldn't
recommend it. If anything were to go wrong then there would be no time
to rectify the situation before Christmas and that room would be
unavailable through the holiday.
So, here's hoping everybody has a great holiday season and remembers the reason for the season...
