What is the best time to buy flooring?

Late winter is usually the best window. January and February bring inventory clearance, and installers have more open schedule in the slow season, which affects labour pricing as much as product pricing. Black Friday and Cyber Monday typically bring the deepest product discounts of the year, and late spring clearances land before new ranges arrive. Late summer into fall is the period to avoid, when demand peaks. In Calgary the winter scheduling advantage is real, though materials still need acclimating in a heated space before they go down.
