How Material Costs and Tariffs Affect Renovation Budget

We’ve been hearing a lot lately from clients, suppliers, and industry partners about rising costs—tariffs, inflation, and unpredictable home renovation materials cost. It’s real, and it’s impacting just about everyone planning a renovation.

One thing we want you to know: we’re listening, and we’re adapting.

Material costs are now shifting not month-to-month, but sometimes day-to-day. That’s a challenge for procurement and planning—but it’s also why our process is designed to minimize disruptions. Before construction begins, we ask that most materials are secured and ready to go. This helps ensure that your project doesn’t stall midway, with your home caught in a holding pattern. We don’t want you (or us) stuck in a waiting game.

We’re not economists, and we can’t predict the market. But we have seen what happened during COVID: prices surged, and many never came back down. If that gives you pause, we understand. Waiting might be the right choice for some.

But if you're ready to move forward, now is still a good time to invest in your home and your comfort. Understanding the cost to renovate home and planning for home renovation materials cost allows you to make informed choices while staying on budget.

The future may be uncertain, but we choose to move forward with hope, honesty, and the commitment to serve our community with transparency and care.
