Lumber prices are 300% higher than a year ago.

Because lumber prices continue to surge, we must add a 7% surcharge on June 1st.

Thankfully we purchased many truckloads of lumber prior to this most recent spike. So, if you place your order in May, you can buy your gazebo or pergola at the current prices and avoid the 7% surcharge in June.

We’ve Held This Off As Long As Possible...

You may have seen in the news that lumber prices have risen over 300% over the last twelve months. We have not increased our prices in three years nor throughout this unprecedented rise in lumber costs. (See graph below.)

Vinyl, hardware, and all supply costs have also increased. These persistent increases in the price of raw materials are now too great for us to absorb, and we regrettably have no choice but to increase our prices by 7% starting June 1st, 2021. Please do not miss this opportunity to lock in our current prices.

Why Lumber prices Have Skyrocketed

The pandemic has severely impacted our raw material costs, especially lumber prices. The following factors help us better understand why:

Before the pandemic, lumber prices were sufficiently low that some lumber mills reduced output or closed completely. Some consolidation took place as smaller mills were purchased by larger multinational firms.
When the lockdown happened, many lumber manufacturers, mills and lumber transport companies shut down for several weeks. Huge producers reduced or stopped production in the spring of 2020 due to stay- at-home orders and social distancing measures at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
With the stay-at-home orders in place, many people’s appetite for home improvement projects surged. Major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s remained open and provided lumber and other materials to supply this explosion of demand. When construction workers returned to work and when the current housing boom began, lumber consumption soared.
With unprecedented government-provided stimulus funding, homeowners had more disposable income. Plus, low interest rates fueled new housing demand and home renovations. Lumber consumption boomed, and lumber mills could not sufficiently ramp up production.
Lumber producers could not anticipate the huge increase in demand from do-it-yourselfers and big box retailers during the pandemic.
Canada supplies a lot of lumber to the USA. Our neighbors to the north previously reduced output when some of their forests were diminished by disease and fire. Ramping back up is taking longer than anticipated.
Last year’s massive wildfires in California and the west further reduced lumber supplies and impacted prices in other parts of the country.
