If you’re considering a home renovation or addition, timing is everything—especially when it comes to cost. New tariffs on imported materials like steel, aluminum, and lumber are on the horizon, and that means homeowners in Greensboro and the Triad area could soon see a significant spike in construction pricing.
At KC’s Improvement & Construction Co., Inc., we believe in transparency and smart planning. Here’s what you need to know about how tariffs may impact your renovation budget—and why starting your project now could save you thousands.
🔨 How Tariffs Impact Home Renovation Costs
Tariffs are essentially taxes on imported goods. When the government imposes or increases tariffs on materials like steel and aluminum, it drives up the cost of those materials across the board—even for domestic suppliers. For homeowners, that means:
-
Higher material costs for framing, roofing, siding, fixtures, appliances, and more
-
Longer lead times as suppliers juggle demand and pricing
-
Increased overall project budgets for additions, remodels, and repairs
Even if your project isn’t materials-heavy, rising costs across the industry often ripple into labor rates, subcontractor pricing, and logistics fees.
🏡 Why Homeowners Should Act Now
