With all the news about tariffs in Canada, it's only natural to wonder what this might mean for your upcoming renovation. Will it affect the cost of materials? Could it slow things down? Should you wait?
At MKZ Drywall, we want to flip that uncertainty into opportunity—and show you how your renovation can still be everything you imagined (and more), even with these changes in play.
The Tariffs: What’s Happening?
Canada introduced tariffs on certain imported goods in response to global trade shifts. This includes construction and renovation materials like drywall, insulation, and finishes that are sourced internationally. But while change is in the air, it doesn’t mean your project is in trouble.
Here’s the Bright Side:
1. Local Materials, Stronger Communities
Tariffs often push us to look closer to home - and that’s a great thing. Canadian-made materials are not only high quality, but they also support local businesses and reduce shipping times. MKZ Drywall is actively sourcing local alternatives that won’t compromise on quality, look, or feel.
