Material Shortage and Fence Replacement Price Increases

Stay Calm, We have the Materials

During the coronavirus pandemic that our nation and state of Texas has endured, there has been a few changes that don't seem to be going away.  As you may already know, our financial family leaders have been working from home if possible and the home improvement stores have become shopping malls.  Our "honey do" projects have run out of excuses and the time to get them done has presented itself in a major way.  With these things considered along with the natural storm and fence season ramping up, we in the fence business have had to travel to multiple stores for each project to find materials.  For example, visit a Lowes and try to buy yourself some 4x4 pressure treated pine posts or see how many cedar pickets they have available.  You may have a better chance finding a pallet of Clorox wipes at your local grocery store.

After speaking with the lumber yards in east Texas this past weekend, the shortage is only just begun as the mills have been working at half capacity and back logged during the pandemic.  As result, material distributors and home improvement stores have increased their material prices over ten percent or 3 dollars a foot from last year.  Small businesses in our industry have been purchasing bulk materials wherever they can be found and trying to save them in storage units to keep from shutting down.  With this being said, we unfortunately have not choice but to raise our prices as well to avoid going out of business.  Please understand that this is the last thing we wanted to do but we have no choice but to make these adjustments.

Effective immediately, Kingdom Roof and Fence has set a new pricing structure for our residential wood fence customers that will be competitive as usual.  Please refer to your estimates for more information regarding these updates from our company.  We would however like to remind you that we still offer metal post fencing solutions which are readily available and come with a lifetime warranty.  In addition, there are great wrought iron and aluminum fences available for you to choose from that have not been effected from the pandemic like the wood products have.  Thank you for reading our blog and understanding that is has been and will always be our goal to bring you the best our industry and marketplace has to offer at affordable prices.  -Kingdom

Insurance Claim Assistance

One of the most important aspects of the roofing process is insurance claim assistance.  The first step is to make sure if calling a claim in on your insurance is actually a good idea.  If you call a claim in on your insurance and the damage on your doesn't get approve while the other less expensive items do, you will be in worst shape than before you filed your claim.  This is because the items that will be approved for replacement will be under your deductible and then you'll have to replace them out of pocket before your insurance company will insure them again.  This is one reason that you need a professional to look at your project and make sure you're making the right decision.

After the decision of whether or not to file a claim with your insurance has been made, the next step is for your professional roofing contractor to meet the insurance adjuster at your property.  The insurance adjuster works for the insurance company and his employer makes sure that their adjuster is concerned about their bottom line.  It's important for you to remember that you need someone who's knowledgeable with the insurance process that works for you and has your best interests in mind.  That's where Kingdom Roof and Fence comes into to play.
