Recently, industry-wide we are experiencing unprecedented increases in prices of raw materials, skyrocketing freight costs, and manufacturer labor shortages. This is all impacting retailer costs which will impact yours. As an example, within the past 90 days we had increases between 5-8% from our providers. In some cases, some of our manufacturers have increased their prices twice within the past six months. In addition, in some cases we are experiencing delays in shipping and back-orders of material.
Therefore, if you are considering new flooring, we recommend you consider potential additional cost increases and delays and plan accordingly, especially if you have a tight deadline. We will do our part in keeping you informed as we navigate through your flooring project and the flux our industry is experiencing. We continually monitor prices to ensure our customers receive the best deal possible. Thanks for your understanding.
