Personal Flooring & Window Covering Consultations By Appointment Only, Call Ahead For Scheduling
Did you know flooring prices can drop 15–30% in certain months? Meanwhile, prices spike during fall's busy season. Early fall is the busiest time for flooring stores. That's when prices are highest and installers are hardest to book.
Before you visit a flooring store in Spokane, knowing the best time to buy can save you hundreds on your project. This guide breaks down the best months to buy flooring and when to avoid shopping. You'll also learn what to ask when you're ready to visit a local showroom.
The best months to buy flooring are late December through February and mid-May to early June. During winter, flooring stores clear out old inventory with deep discounts—often 15–30% off. Installers also have more open schedules. This can lower your labor costs. In late spring, stores run clearance sales before stocking new styles. Avoid shopping in early fall (August–November) when demand peaks and prices rise.
Flooring prices change throughout the year. Demand drives these shifts. When more people shop for floors, prices go up. When fewer people shop, prices drop.
Installers also adjust their rates based on how busy they are. During slow months like January and February, you may pay less for labor. During peak season, installers book out weeks in advance. You lose room to negotiate.
Weather plays a role too. Hardwood and laminate need mild conditions to settle before installation. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, wood flooring performs best at temperatures between 60–80°F and humidity levels of 30–50%. Extreme heat or cold can cause problems. Timing your project for stable weather helps your floors perform better.
Holiday sales offer some of the best deals of the year. Black Friday, Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekends often bring 20–50% off. Planning around these events can stretch your budget further.
In our Spokane showroom, we see the biggest crowds in September and October. But our best deals happen in January. Rushing during peak season means higher costs and longer wait times.
Winter is the sweet spot for flooring deals. December through February brings off-season pricing and clearance sales. Stores want to move last year's inventory before new styles arrive. Installers have more open time on their calendars. You benefit from lower prices and faster scheduling.
Late spring is another smart window. May and June bring pre-summer clearance events. Stores make room for fresh stock by marking down current products. The weather is mild, which helps with installation.
Holiday weekends are worth watching. Black Friday, Memorial Day, and Labor Day often bring 20–50% off flooring materials. These sales can make a big difference on larger projects.

Holiday Weekends
August through November is the busiest time for flooring stores. Homeowners rush to finish projects before the holidays. This spike in demand drives prices up. Installers book out quickly, leaving you with fewer options.
Summer can also be tricky. Hot weather affects how flooring acclimates before installation. Families are often busy with vacations and schedules are harder to pin down.
The weeks right before Thanksgiving and Christmas are hectic. Stores are crowded. Installers squeeze in last-minute jobs. Rushed work can mean lower quality results.
During peak season, contractors have less reason to negotiate. Their calendars are full. You lose leverage on pricing and scheduling.

A local flooring store offers expert advice you won't find at a big-box retailer. Staff know the products inside and out. They can guide you to the right floor for your home and budget.
Big-box stores may show lower prices upfront. But they often lack specialized knowledge. Their product lines may include lower-quality versions of name brands. You might not get the same level of service or support after the sale.
When comparing stores, ask about warranties, installation services, and return policies. These details matter as much as price. A good warranty protects your investment for years.
Look for stores that offer free in-home consultations and samples. Seeing a floor in your own space helps you make a confident choice. Natural light and room size affect how colors and textures look.
Check Google reviews and ask for references from past customers. A strong track record tells you what to expect.
We recommend calling ahead to ask about current promotions. Many local stores in Spokane offer deals that aren't advertised online.
