Flooring Pros Experience a Month of Project Delays

Residential flooring pros are experiencing 4.4 weeks of delay before starting new projects, according to the Houzz Subcontractor Backlog Index.

The index tracks wait times in weeks before a company can start work on a new midsize project.

“Labor shortages are a leading challenge among residential builders, remodelers and designers. Houzz research shows a range of three to six weeks before subcontractors can begin work on a new project, with the most significant backlogs among masonry and cabinetry services,” Houzz Staff Economist Marine Sargsyan said in a statement. “These wait times highlight the need for careful planning and coordination to ensure timely project completion.”
