Home Improvement Material Shortage Due To COVID-19
This year has been like no other than any of us can remember. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both the housing market and unemployment in the region is at a record high. Nobody could have predicted that the summer of 2020 was going to be the summer of renovations.
Troubled times are not going to stop the Windsor-Essex community from upgrading their homes. People are forced to spend much more time in their homes, making homeowners motivated to make their surroundings nicer and more welcoming.
Covid-19 is not just affecting Windsor-Essex residential properties. The past several months have limited the capacity of people to enter establishments. With restaurants in particular, outdoor seating has been the only option allowed. As restaurants scrambled to create patios, hardware stores struggled to keep up with the lumber demand.
Building Supply Shortages
Tamar has experienced a surge of homeowners coming in for building supplies and it doesn’t stop at lumber. Vinyl window and steel door wait time are at an all-time high with delivery dates of 10 to 12 weeks when typically they used to be 2 to 4.
PVC Shortage
There is also a PVC shortage. This has affected us from being able to keep a lot of vinyl siding in stock. This is causing frustrations for suppliers and homeowners alike.
