New Year, New Floors: Why Right Now is the Perfect Time to Upgrade Your Home
As we step into 2026, the “New Year, New Me” mantra usually applies to gym memberships or diet plans. But at Flooring 101, we believe the best way to start the year is by refreshing the foundation of your home.
Whether you are in the coastal breeze of Ventura and Goleta, the heart of Bakersfield, or the vibrant communities of Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Santa Maria, and Simi Valley, your home is your sanctuary—and there has never been a better time to give it the upgrade it deserves.
2026 is a Fresh Start for Your Interior
The beginning of the year is naturally a time for decluttering and reorganizing. After the holiday rush, many homeowners notice the wear and tear that seasonal foot traffic has left behind.
Replacing tired, worn-out carpet or outdated laminate isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a psychological reset.
New flooring provides a clean slate, improves indoor air quality, and instantly modernizes your living space for the year ahead.
3 Reasons to Remodel Your Home with Flooring 101 in 2026
Reason #1: Beat the Spring Rush
While many people wait until the “spring cleaning” fever hits in March or April to start home projects, savvy Californians know that January and February are the “sweet spot.”
By starting your flooring project now, you can take advantage of better installation availability and factory-direct pricing before the busy season begins.
Reason #2: Dream Big, Pay Easy – The Shaw Credit Card
We know that a new floor is a significant investment. Jimmy Poulos founded Flooring 101 with the mission to make luxury flooring accessible to everyone in Ventura, Kern, and Santa Barbara Counties.
That is why we are currently highlighting a powerful tool to help you achieve your home goals without stressing your household budget.
The Shaw Credit Card is an easy and convenient way to pay for your dream floors. As a cardholder, you can enjoy exclusive benefits throughout the year, including:
