We know your home is more than just a structure—it’s your comfort zone, your investment, and your safe haven. That’s why we’re committed to sharing valuable, up-to-date information to help you make the smartest decisions possible.
Here at Southern Builders, we specialize in high-quality, long-lasting roofing solutions for mobile homes, and part of our promise to you is transparency. Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s affecting homeowners all across the country: rising steel prices and how tariffs are playing a major role.
If you’re thinking about upgrading your roof or have been on the fence about when to move forward, this blog is for you. We’ll break down what’s happening in the steel market, what it means for your wallet, and why now is the time to invest in a Perma-Roof system.
Steel prices have been steadily increasing over the last couple of years, and a major reason behind that rise is the introduction of tariffs on imported steel. Most notably, the U.S. recently implemented a 25% tariff on steel imports from Canada and Mexico, two of our largest suppliers of construction-grade steel. These tariffs, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, are adding pressure to an already tight market.
Tariffs are essentially taxes imposed on imported goods. While they’re intended to support domestic industry, they also drive up costs for businesses that rely on those materials, like roofing companies. And when prices rise for us, they eventually rise for you, the homeowner.
So what does all this mean if you’re a mobile homeowner considering a roof upgrade? In short—it means increased material costs, more market volatility, and potential project delays due to supply chain strain.
At Southern Builders, we use #1 Commercial Grade Heavy Duty 29 Ga Steel in every Perma-Roof system we install. It’s not only top-of-the-line in terms of quality, but also one of the materials most affected by steel tariffs. As a result:
These industry changes aren’t just headlines, they have a direct impact on your home improvement plans.
We know how easy it is to put off a roofing project, especially when costs seem uncertain. But in this case, waiting may actually cost you more. Tariffs aren’t going away anytime soon, and prices are expected to continue rising in the months ahead.
By moving forward with your Perma-Roof system now, you can:
Not only will you beat the rising costs, but you’ll also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a durable, energy-efficient roof designed to last a lifetime.
We believe in giving our customers the tools they need to make confident, informed decisions. Understanding how steel tariffs affect the roofing industry helps you plan better and save more. And when you choose Southern Builders, you’re not just getting a roof, you’re getting a long-term solution backed by expert installation and a lifetime workmanship warranty against leaks.
If you have any questions about steel pricing, tariffs, or the Perma-Roof system, we’re here to help.
