Introduction: Why Wholesale Flooring is a Contractor’s Best Friend
Every contractor knows — profit margins are tight, deadlines are tighter, and clients want results yesterday. Flooring is one of the biggest line items on most jobs, so where you source your materials matters. That’s where wholesale flooring comes in.
At Floor Trader Wholesale, we supply contractors, remodelers, and builders across Tacoma and the South Sound with in-stock flooring at wholesale pricing. Whether you’re tackling a flip, a multi-family project, or a luxury home build, buying direct means more profit, fewer delays, and happier clients.
1. Lower Costs Per Square Foot = Bigger Margins
One of the biggest advantages of wholesale flooring is cost savings. Contractors who buy retail are paying 20–40% more per job compared to wholesale buyers. Multiply that across dozens of projects a year, and the numbers get painful fast.
-
Example: Installing 1,200 sq. ft. of waterproof vinyl plank.
-
Retail price: $3.99/sq. ft. → $4,788 total.
-
Wholesale price: $1.99/sq. ft. → $2,388 total.
-
Savings: $2,400 — enough to cover labor or boost your profit margin.
-
With wholesale pricing, contractors can stay competitive on bids while protecting their margins.
2. In-Stock Inventory = No Delays on Your Job Site
Time is money, and every day lost waiting on back-ordered flooring is a day you’re not billing. At Floor Trader Wholesale, our warehouse is fully stocked with thousands of square feet of carpet, waterproof vinyl plank, laminate, and hardwood.
-
Same-day pickup: Start your install tomorrow instead of next week.
-
Bulk rolls of carpet: Perfect for multi-room or multi-unit installs.
-
Pallets of vinyl plank: Load today, install tomorrow.
👉 Pro Tip: Contractors who shop wholesale can avoid “job-site downtime” — one of the biggest hidden costs in construction.
3. Flexible Options for Every Job
Contractors work on everything from rental units to custom homes. That’s why wholesale selection matters.
-
Carpet rolls – Affordable, soft, perfect for bedrooms and rentals.
-
Waterproof vinyl plank – The #1 choice for kitchens, baths, and basements.
-
Water-resistant laminate – Stylish and scratch-resistant for busy homes.
-
Solid hardwood – A timeless upgrade for luxury builds.
-
Remnants – Save big on small jobs or repairs.
Instead of bouncing between multiple suppliers, contractors can source everything under one roof at wholesale prices.
4. Financing That Fits Your Project Flow
Big projects mean big upfront costs, but contractors shouldn’t have to drain cash flow to buy flooring. That’s why we offer financing options from 18–36 months. Spread out payments while your client pays their invoice, keeping your business cash-positive.
-
Ideal for multi-family renovations
-
Helpful for custom builds with higher material costs
-
Smart for contractors managing multiple jobs at once
