Build.com is one of the larger online destinations for home improvement, offering everything from lighting and appliances to plumbing fixtures and hardware. For anyone planning a renovation or just looking to update a room or two, their Black Friday sale can be a good time to make a purchase. Here’s what to expect from their 2025 Black Friday event based on past years and current patterns.
Expected Sale Timeline
In previous years, Build.com has typically started their Black Friday event a little ahead of the traditional Thanksgiving weekend rush. For 2025, the sale is expected to begin online around Tuesday, November 18. While specific end dates can vary, it usually runs through Cyber Monday, which falls on December 1 this year.
Expect rolling discounts to be introduced throughout the event, with some of the deepest cuts appearing closer to Black Friday itself (November 28).
How Much Can You Save?
Historically, Build.com offers tiered discounts depending on product category and brand. In 2025, expect to see up to 55% off select items across a wide range of departments. This won’t apply to everything, but major categories like lighting, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen hardware typically see the biggest price drops.
Here’s a rough breakdown of expected discount ranges:
- Lighting: Up to 55% off chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and recessed lighting from brands like Kichler, Hinkley, and Progress Lighting.
- Bathroom Fixtures: Savings in the 30% to 50% range on vanities, faucets, shower systems, and toilets. Kohler, Delta, and Moen are among the brands likely to be featured.
- Kitchen Fixtures: Expect up to 40% off sinks, faucets, and accessories.
- Hardware: Door handles, cabinet pulls, and locks from names like Schlage, Baldwin, and Kwikset can see markdowns up to 50%.
- Appliances: Smaller kitchen and laundry appliances are typically included, with discounts varying by brand.
- Outdoor and Home Improvement: Lighting, patio heaters, ceiling fans, and outdoor plumbing options may also be marked down by as much as 30% to 40%.
What to Prioritize
If you’re planning to buy during the Build.com Black Friday sale, it makes sense to go in with a strategy. Start with the categories you’re actively shopping. Lighting and bath tend to have the largest and most consistent markdowns. These are often good value buys, especially if you’re remodeling or just need to upgrade existing fixtures.
Kitchen hardware and sinks are also solid picks during this sale, especially mid-range and premium brands. Price drops can add up quickly when you’re purchasing multiple items for a full room refresh.
On the other hand, larger appliances are a bit hit or miss. While some are discounted, you might find better appliance deals at specialized retailers or big-box stores. Still, it’s worth browsing to compare.
Bundle Deals and Coupons
Another thing to look out for is Build.com’s bundling offers. They occasionally run additional promotions such as:
- Spend $500, save an extra $50
- Buy more, save more tiered discounts
- Brand-specific coupon codes
These may stack with existing sale prices or apply only to full-priced items, depending on the terms. It’s worth reading the fine print or using their chat support to confirm details if you’re combining offers.
Shipping and Availability
One of the advantages of shopping at Build.com is that they tend to provide detailed shipping timelines and stock availability. During Black Friday, some high-demand items may sell out early or experience shipping delays. If you know what you need, it’s better to shop earlier in the sale window to avoid backorders.
They typically offer free shipping on orders over a certain threshold (often $49), but some oversized or heavy items may incur additional freight charges.
Returns and Price Adjustments
Build.com has a return policy that generally allows returns within 90 days, but some exclusions apply—especially for customized or special-order items. During promotional events, it’s not common to see price matching or adjustments offered retroactively, so if you buy early, there’s a small chance the price could drop further later in the week.
That said, if you’re on the fence about buying something at the start of the sale, it’s usually safe to wait until Black Friday weekend itself for the steepest discounts. Just don’t expect everything to stay in stock that long.
Cyber Monday Expectations
After the main Black Friday weekend wraps up, Build.com is expected to launch a separate Cyber Monday event on December 1, 2025. This sale often includes a fresh set of deals, though some Black Friday offers carry over. In previous years, the Cyber Monday sale has focused more on bundled promotions or limited-time flash deals rather than deeper discounts across the board.
Brands to Watch
Some of the top brands that have been consistently featured in past Black Friday sales on Build.com include:
- Kohler
- Delta
- Moen
- Kichler
- Progress Lighting
- Schlage
- Kraus
- Hansgrohe
These brands cover everything from faucets and fixtures to lighting and hardware. Not every item from each brand will be discounted, but many will have at least a selection of deals.
