The past few years have seen many changes and difficulties to the supply chain across industries, and the kitchen and bath industry is, unfortunately, no exception. While the normal expectation is for slower business environments to bring reduced costs in materials, that trend has not held. With rising expenses across the board, especially for lumber, Conestoga needs to keep its pricing in line with supply costs.
While Conestoga and The Cabinet Authority do as much as we can to cushion our customers against rising costs, we are now faced with having to increase costs for Hard Maple (including Standard and Paint-Grade) and Hybrid products. Additionally, our finishing materials supplier, Sherwin-Williams, has announced a nationwide price increase of 5% to 7%. To minimize the impact, we will be applying the lower 5% increase across all finishing pricing and products.
These price changes will go into effect on all orders placed on or after January 20, 2025. We understand that these increases can make it difficult to plan for future projects. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your account manager directly.
