As U.S. tariffs continue to push building material costs higher, Chicago-area families are feeling the strain. Flooring — a major component of home improvement and rental property maintenance — has become significantly more expensive across big-box stores and traditional retailers. But one local, family-owned business is doing everything it can to shield customers’ wallets from inflation.
Show Flooring, located near Chicago’s Midway Airport, is doubling down on its mission to keep flooring affordable. The retailer stocks more than 1,000,000 square feet of ready-to-go flooring and continues to despite the challenging economic climate.
“Consumers shouldn’t have to cancel renovation plans or live with unsafe or damaged flooring because of foreign tariff disputes,” said Cole McNabb, President of Show Flooring. “We’re committed to holding flooring prices down by buying American made products, buying full truckloads, negotiating liquidation deals, and passing every savings directly to the customer.”
Industry experts warn that tariff increases have hit waterproof vinyl plank flooring especially hard — a product heavily relied on in homes with children, pets, and high-traffic rentals. In response, many retailers have quietly raised prices, leaving consumers with fewer affordable options. Show Flooring, however, insists that transparency and fairness must come first.
No matter the material, Show Flooring is committed to holding flooring prices down on its most popular categories — including vinyl plank, hardwood, porcelain tile, laminate, and carpet — ensuring Chicago-area customers can still access quality flooring without sacrificing their budget.
Whether customers choose to purchase flooring directly from the warehouse or take advantage of the company’s professional installation services, they can count on the same honest pricing and unbeatable value.
The company says bulk buying, factory-direct sourcing, and liquidation purchasing channels allow them to continue offering deep discounts on top-selling products including luxury vinyl planks (LVP), laminate, porcelain tile, and even hardwood — inventory that contractors and DIY homeowners rely on daily.
McNabb emphasizes that protecting customer budgets isn’t just a marketing message — it’s a responsibility.
“As a third-generation family business, we’ve seen people put off important repairs during tough economic years,” he said. “If we can help them update their homes safely and affordably, that’s something we’re proud of.”
Consumers are encouraged to compare prices and see the differences firsthand — particularly those managing rental property turnovers, preparing to sell, or planning budget-friendly home upgrades.
