Who owns Connecticut homes, and who bought recently
About two in three Connecticut households own their home. Table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 952,989 owner-occupied units out of 1,434,007 occupied units. An owner can sign for new floors; a renter usually needs a landlord to agree, so buyers ask the homeowner question before anything else.
Of those owners, 133,322 households moved in during 2020 or later, according to table B25038 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024): 115,813 in 2020 to 2022 and 17,509 in 2023 or later. Someone who has just closed on a house tends to pull up worn carpet or swap out old vinyl while rooms are still empty, and that habit is the reason flooring buyers track move-in years. These are household counts from the survey, not lead counts.
The table does not break the count down below the state level. Buyers who want newer owners can add a move-in question to the fields they receive and set the ZIP codes their crews reach.
Connecticut home values and the age of the housing stock
Connecticut has more housing from before 1940 than from any single decade since. In table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), 311,584 of 1,541,822 units were built in 1939 or earlier, while only 10,811 were built in 2020 or later. That second figure is 0.7 percent of the stock, the smallest share among the 50 states in the same table. Older homes can have original hardwood under later layers, or subfloors that need work before a new surface goes down.
The median value of an owner-occupied home is $366,900 in table B25077 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). Buyers whose installers work at a certain price point can map that to the ZIP codes they choose.

Connecticut Home Improvement Act and flooring work
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Flooring is listed by name. Section 20-419(5) (Conn. Gen. Stat., revised to January 1, 2026) includes flooring among the kinds of work that count as a home improvement on a private residence or residential rental property, where the total price agreed or offered is more than $200. The same section leaves out a seller of goods or materials who neither performs nor arranges any installation work.
Many flooring jobs start in a showroom. Under section 20-420(e) (Conn. Gen. Stat., revised to January 1, 2026), a retail establishment with a fixed location may apply each year for one salesperson certificate covering employees who sell entirely at the store, virtually or by phone, paying the fee that would apply to each person. A salesperson from that list who sells in a customer's home needs an individual certificate.
Deposits have a rule as well. Section 20-427(b)(8) (Conn. Gen. Stat., revised to January 1, 2026) bars a contractor from failing to refund payment within ten days of a written request when no substantial part of the work has been done and more than 30 days have passed since the contract's starting date, or since the contract date if no start date was set.

Filters Connecticut flooring buyers set
Each lead can be narrowed on four points before it is sent:
- ZIP code: pick the towns each crew drives to, from Fairfield County to the eastern shoreline.
- Homeowner status: owners only, so the person on the phone can approve the job.
- Move-in timing: a field for whether the house was bought recently.
- Material and rooms: hardwood refinishing, tile, luxury vinyl or carpet, and the number of rooms, which sizes the estimate.
