Flooring industry not experiencing the same delays as others in building materials
We understand that many people are concerned about delays in getting materials. Earlier in the year there was a carpet pad/cushion shortage. It seems as though this shouldn’t be an issue going forward. At this time our typical special orders are taking 4 – 5 weeks. This is only 1 week longer than previous years of 3 – 4 weeks. Though, we are not experiencing much for delays, we are seeing increased costs. Shipping rates have been on the rise nationwide. January 1 we will be seeing additional material cost increases. Our schedule is booking out 4-5 weeks. Please know that we will continue to fight for good pricing on quality materials and pass those savings on to our customers.
Thank you to everyone in the community for your continued business. We appreciate you.
Key points:
Average special order times are 4 -5 weeks
Installations are booked out 4 weeks
Material costs will continue to increase into 2022
