The recent U.S. tariff changes are having a direct impact on construction costs in Canada, making home renovations more expensive than ever. Materials like lumber, steel, and fixtures imported from the U.S. are seeing price hikes, causing many contractors to pass these costs onto homeowners.
But there’s good news: Level One Construction is committed to keeping renovations affordable by sourcing Canadian-made materials whenever possible. Here’s what you need to know about the tariff increases and how to avoid higher costs on your next home remodel.
How U.S. Tariffs Are Driving Up Renovation Costs
The U.S. has imposed new tariffs on construction materials, affecting everything from:
✔ Lumber – Increasing the cost of framing, cabinetry, and flooring.
✔ Steel & Aluminum – Raising prices for structural supports, appliances, and fixtures.
✔ Finished Goods – Importing U.S.-made tiles, plumbing fixtures, and hardware now costs more.
For homeowners in Vancouver and across Canada, this means higher renovation prices if materials are sourced from American suppliers.
How to Avoid Higher Renovation Costs in Canada
At Level One Construction, we believe in supporting Canadian businesses while keeping renovation prices fair. Here’s how we help homeowners avoid tariff-driven cost increases:
✅ Choosing Canadian-Made Materials
We prioritize locally manufactured materials, ensuring top-tier quality while avoiding unnecessary import costs. This includes:
Canadian-sourced lumber & millwork
Locally manufactured cabinets & countertops
Domestic plumbing fixtures & tiles
✅ Avoiding Supply Chain Delays
With tariffs also impacting shipping costs, U.S.-sourced materials are not only more expensive but can also take longer to arrive. By buying Canadian, we ensure faster project timelines with fewer delays.
✅ Keeping Renovation Costs Fair & Transparent
Unlike contractors who rely on American suppliers, we proactively adjust our sourcing strategies to protect homeowners from unexpected price hikes. Our Canadian-first approach means better pricing, higher quality, and reliable service.
Why Buy Canadian for Your Next Renovation?
✔ Support Local: Choosing Canadian-made materials keeps jobs and money in our economy.
✔ Better Quality: Canadian manufacturers follow higher quality standards than many offshore suppliers.
✔ Faster Turnaround: Local sourcing reduces delays caused by international tariffs and shipping disruptions.
✔ Sustainable Choice: Many Canadian products have a lower carbon footprint compared to imports.
