Current Lumber Surcharge = 0%

As of 9/14/2022

 

NOTE:  PLEASE READ THIS!

 

 

We are so happy to announce that our lumber surcharge is finally going away!!!   It seems like lumber prices have settled down some, at least for now, although they are still almost double what they were before the pandemic.  Many other costs of other materials have also risen sharply in recent months.  Instead of adding a surcharge, we have re-adjusted our pricing to reflect current material costs.  We sincerely apologize for the need we had to implement a surcharge and we hope that prices will remain relatively stable for the foreseeable future so that we will not have to re-instate a surcharge.   We will leave the following notice on our website for now just in case there is a need to re-instate a surcharge in the future.  As for now, you may ignore the notice below.

 

Please read the following notice for an explanation of this charge.

 

Why a surcharge?

Due to the huge increase in lumber demand and material shortages nationwide, lumber prices have more than doubled and almost tripled on some items in the last 10 months.  Many of our other materials have had large price increases as well.  Much of this is because of the huge increase in homeowners doing home projects.  However, on top of this, most lumber mills were shut down or running on skeleton crews for almost 3 months due to the pandemic.  These two issues combined have caused an unprecedented increase in material costs.   In addition to this, demand for sheds is higher than it has ever been and our operation costs have increased as a result of having to hire more personnel to keep up with the demand.

 

How are we handling this?

We have done everything we can to keep our prices competitive and fair and we strive to give you the best product for the money.  However the steady climb in material costs has forced us to implement a temporary surcharge on all sheds.  Even with this small surcharge we are still not reclaiming the profits we are losing during this unique and challenging time.  However we hope to offset some of the losses in order to maintain short and long term profitability.  This surcharge is a percentage figured on the base price of your shed.  We are only charging this surcharge on the base price of the shed and not on accessories or upgrades.   This surcharge is subject to change as material prices increase or decrease.  We will review this situation every week and determine whether we will need to raise or lower this surcharge.  We sincerely apologize for this and hope that our customers understand the unique and challenging circumstances that have forced us to make this decision.

 

What does "temporary" mean?

We hope that this huge increase in material costs is a temporary phenomenon caused by the ongoing pandemic that will correct itself as things get back to "normal".  Lumber prices do typically fluctuate some on a regular basis and we are aware of this.  However, this increase has been far greater than the typical normal fluctuations that we usually see each year.  We anticipated that lumber prices would begin to drop around the first of the year but we were wrong.  Lumber prices have continued to rise and  we really do not know when or if things will get back to "normal".
