We get asked this constantly starting in April: "Should I wait until after hurricane season to do my floors?" There's no wrong season to install waterproof flooring, but timing does affect scheduling, humidity conditions, and how disruptive the project feels in your home.
Before Hurricane Season (Spring)
March through May is our busiest stretch - homeowners want projects wrapped before summer storms and family visits pick up. If you're set on LVP or tile, there's no real weather constraint; it's purely a scheduling question, so book early.
During Hurricane Season (June-November)
Humidity runs highest and storm risk is real, but waterproof products don't care. This is actually a fine window for LVP, sheet vinyl, or tile installs - and if a home has taken on water from a storm, old-floor removal followed by waterproof flooring is often the fastest path back to normal.
After Hurricane Season (Late Fall/Winter)
November through February brings more stable indoor humidity, which is the best window for engineered or solid hardwood installs - the planks acclimate more predictably and expansion gaps are easier to set correctly.
Our Take
If you're installing anything waterproof - LVP, sheet vinyl, tile - the calendar doesn't really matter, book whenever works for your household. If hardwood is on the list, aim for the cooler months when possible. Either way, most projects finish in 1-2 days once we start.
