Navigating Roofing Costs in a Tariff-Driven Market: How AMF Keeps You Ahead
Tariffs and trade policy shifts have long been a wild card in construction material pricing. Recent 2025 activity, is making a sharper impact on the roofing industry. As reported in a recent Yahoo! Finance article, new tariffs on foreign aluminum and steel imports are pushing material costs upward. For contractors, builders, and homeowners alike, that means increased prices, and greater uncertainty, when it comes to roofing projects.

We’ve taken proactive steps to protect your timelines, budgets, and customer relationships.

The Real-World Impact of Tariff Increases
Here’s a little summary of how tariffs are affecting the roofing industry—and what that means for your bottom line:
Steel prices could increase by up to 25% due to newly proposed tariffs on Chinese-made steel and aluminum used in building products, including roofing panels and fasteners.
Domestic manufacturers face cost surges even when buying U.S.-sourced materials, because those products are also affected by supply and demand volatility once import competition is restricted.
Contractors are seeing material quotes expire faster than ever, sometimes in less than a week, making it harder to budget and bid with confidence.
Homeowners may delay or scale back projects, creating a slowdown effect in construction pipelines due to budget uncertainties.
Lead times are lengthening, especially for specialty roofing products and custom metalwork, as supply chains adjust to changing import rules and sourcing limitations.
