Can You Still Get New Floors Before the Holidays? A Las Vegas Planning Guide

Every fall, the same question comes up at our Decatur Blvd showroom: is there still time to get new floors in before family arrives for the holidays? In many Las Vegas homes the honest answer is yes - as long as the project is scoped realistically and the decisions get made early. The material you choose, the number of rooms, and what is under your current floor all shape how quickly a project can move. Here's how to plan it so the last plank or tile is down before the first guest walks through the door.

Start With the Decision, Not the Install Date

The biggest delay in most holiday projects isn't the installation - it's the time spent deciding. Bringing home samples, comparing them in your own lighting, and settling on a color can take longer than homeowners expect. Our team can bring samples to your home anywhere in the valley, or you can compare full boards side by side in the showroom. If you're torn between two hard surfaces, our LVP vs. tile comparison is a quick way to narrow it down.

Which Floors Fit a Tighter Timeline

Floating floors like luxury vinyl plank and laminate flooring typically install faster than other options because they click together over a prepared slab and can be walked on right away. Tile flooring is a fantastic long-term choice in the desert, but setting materials and grout need time to cure, so a large tile project generally needs more runway. Carpet in bedrooms is often one of the quickest upgrades of all.

What Can Slow a Project Down

• Removing existing tile from a concrete slab, which is common in older valley homes and adds demolition and cleanup.
• Uneven slabs that need leveling before a new floor can go down.
• Moving large furniture, pianos, or built-ins out of the work area.
• Changing the plan midway, such as adding a hallway or stairs after the order is placed.

None of these are dealbreakers, but each one is worth flagging during your estimate so the schedule reflects what is really involved. You can read more about what happens before installation on our demolition and prep page.

Prioritize the Rooms Guests Will See

If the whole house feels like too much before the holidays, consider phasing the work. The entry, main living area, and dining room carry most of the visual impact during a gathering, while bedrooms and offices can follow in the new year. Phasing also spreads out the investment, and our financing options can help if you would rather not pay for everything upfront.

Get a Real Schedule, Not a Guess

Every home is different, so the only way to know what is realistic is to have someone measure the space and look at the slab. Our team will walk your rooms, talk through materials that suit your timeline, and give you a written quote with a clear plan.
