It's a great time to buy flooring for your home in Westchester County...Let me count the ways.
Thankfully, we have been super busy, and many customers have been coming out of the woodworks lately. We've gotten many calls from customers from 1- 2 yrs ago and yes, they are finally ready to buy their floors. It's very exciting.
Some of them have needed time to save up the money; others have recently refinanced and now have some extra money on hand to do the much needed and desired improvements to their homes.
It's a wonderful time to improve your Westchester Home.
First, prices are incredibly reasonable right now. Because the demand has been a bit more limited these last few years and because homeowners are getting multiple bids, most prices are competitive in the market place - both on material and labor.
Second, some companies are willing to work with you to help you save money. For example, some of my customers ask how much they can save if they do some of the work themselves such as ripping up the carpet or moving the furniture themselves. These are items that some homeowners can easily do themselves and they do not require professional skills.
Third, the gap in pricing between hardwood and carpet continues to decrease. So, if you are looking to trade up to hardwood flooring from carpet, it's the perfect time.
Fourth, prices are about to go up in January, so if you are going to be getting flooring soon, NOW is the time. Traditionally, material price increases take place in January as this is the slowest time of year. The carpet manufacturers were going to take an increase end of September and when 1 major manufacturer announced this; the other one said they would hold prices until Jan, and then, the original one backed down and all announced a double price increase for January. Likewise, other flooring materials will be increasing in January. I have been warning my current customers about this, and that we'd be happy to store their materials for a month or so, if they need us to, so that they can avoid paying a lot extra. (this is for customers that want to do their renovations right after the holidays).
So, if you are on the fence about your flooring, hop off it. Now, is a wonderful time to buy flooring. You'll feel great about the impact it has on your home...it's amazing how much a difference it can make. You'll get to enjoy your purchase sooner, and you will definitely be improving the value of your home which will help you if you are selling 2 yrs from now or 20 yrs from now.
