These are the types of posts that I hate to make and ones that truly affect the small business owners and our customers. I take a lot of pride in what we do and working with my customers to keep costs inline and will always do what I can to help my customers where I can to save money. I received the first of three notices on Monday and got the last one today. Effective Monday August 24th ALL countertop pricing for solid surface, quartz,granite, etc is going up in cost because of added TARIFFS. I asked if my jobs that are already estimated are affected and was told any job not templated is affected. Some companies aren’t doing the increase until September 1 but I can’t have much done by then as that is less than a week away. I have contacted several of my customers already and will be contacting more in the near future but wanted to let everyone know that if you received a countertop estimate from Creative Edge Cabinets that the price will be more than estimated because of tariffs. Sorry but I can’t control that and will be sure to let you know what the new cost will be once I know. My vendors don’t even have an exact amount yet as this is all just transpiring
