Recent government policies, including an executive order boosting U.S. lumber and timber industries and new tariffs on imports, have raised questions about the future of home construction. While change can feel uncertain, these developments actually create opportunities for homeowners and builders alike. At Jack Home Construction, we want to assure you—there’s no need to be afraid.
Stronger Domestic Lumber Industry Means Stability
The executive order aims to increase domestic lumber production, making materials more available and reducing dependency on foreign imports. This move helps stabilize prices, preventing the extreme fluctuations seen in recent years. For homeowners, this means a more predictable and affordable market when planning to build.
Navigating Tariffs with Smart Strategies
New tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China affect building materials like lumber, steel, and aluminum. While some worry this could lead to price increases, the U.S. construction industry is adaptable and resilient. Builders are sourcing materials locally and finding innovative solutions to keep costs manageable.
