Anticipated Moulding Price Jump due to Chile Earthquake

I have just read a notice from one of our building material suppliers regarding the unstable price of moulding during the upcoming building season. I had no idea that 45% of the fingerjointed wood moulding in the United States came from Chile- most produced within a 100 mile radius of the recent earthquake epicenter! Pro Build sent the office of Grand Bay Building and Remodeling a very informative letter so that we could take both the shortage and price increase possibilities into account as we estimate and bid projects.

I remember hurricanes causing plywood, shingle and drywall shortages but never considered that the recent earthquake would directly impact our business.

Let's hope that the many people affected in Chile aand Haiti find the strength and resources to rebuild their lives and keep their families sheltered during the approaching rainy season. Nancy at Grand Bay Building and Remodeling ph 231 995 9057
