Tips to Save Money on Flooring

 If you’ve bought anything recently, you know that prices of goods are going up. We are all aware of inflation by this point, and it may be greatly affecting your buying decisions. So, what if you need new flooring for your home right now? Thankfully, we have some tips to help! As experts in flooring in the Minneapolis area, we want to share some ways you can save some money on your next carpet or flooring purchase.

Type of Flooring

To start, the type of flooring you purchase will greatly dictate the price. Right now, the lease expensive flooring option is carpet. Nearly all carpet is made in the United States, whereas laminate, luxury vinyl and other hard surface floorings are mostly manufactured overseas. Since carpet is made domestically, the shipping and delivery costs are much less. If carpeting will work for your situation, you should at least consider it.

Extreme Value

If you decide on carpet for your flooring needs, we can help you find the best quality for your budget. Be sure to ask about our Extreme Value carpets. We partner directly with the manufacturer on these carpets to offer better pricing. We currently have 26 styles available. These carpets are more plush and less pattern or loop variety, but they are still good quality carpets that can meet your needs and, more importantly, your budget.

In Stock Flooring

At Hopkins Carpet One, we keep a limited supply of certain carpet and flooring in stock in our warehouse. Although, we will be limiting the amount of stock we keep, you can always check to see what we have available and if it might meet your needs.

Investment

Another consideration is whether the flooring you need will be a short- or long-term investment. If you don’t need a super high-quality carpet or flooring right now, you may choose to buy a lower quality option to last a few years and then replace with something of better quality down the road.

On the other hand, you may want to go ahead and invest in a higher quality flooring that will last for decades. It’s hard to say if the market will calm down and prices will decrease or if they will continue to rise. Keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for, so if something is cheap, it usually won’t last long.  Just consider the investment value of any flooring product you choose.

DIY Installation

Another way to save on new flooring is to install it yourself. Some flooring is easier to install than others, but if you have the tools and are somewhat handy, you may be able to tackle the installation and save on those costs.

Financing

One final option to help with a new flooring purchase is special financing from Hopkins Carpet One. We offer 12 months interest-free financing to help you pay for your new floor over time.
