Could Roofing Prices Rise Due to Tariffs? What You Need to Know
Between rising material costs, supply chain delays, and international trade shifts, homeowners are asking more often:
“Will my roof cost more because of tariffs?”
The short answer: It depends on who you hire and what materials they use.
At Kline Home Exteriors, we help protect our customers from unexpected costs by using American-made products—including GAF shingles, which are manufactured right here in the U.S.
How Tariffs Could Affect Your Roofing Project
Tariffs are taxes placed on imported goods. When tariffs increase on materials like steel, aluminum, or imported shingles, some contractors pass that added cost on to the homeowner.
You may see:
- Higher bids or last-minute price changes
- Delays due to limited availability
- Lower-quality materials substituted to cut costs
📍 Homeowners in areas like Canton, Zanesville, and Medina have told us they’ve received quotes from other companies that varied wildly—often due to imported materials with unpredictable pricing.
Why Our Customers Are Protected
We’ve built strong relationships with U.S.-based manufacturers like GAF and other trusted supply partners. That means:
- Consistent pricing
- Shorter wait times
- Access to warranty-backed materials without the uncertainty of international shipping
And because we don’t rely on overseas product sources, you’ll never hear us say, “We can’t get your shingles right now.”

A Quick Tip: Ask Where the Materials Come From
If you're comparing quotes, don’t just ask about brands—ask where the materials are sourced. A cheaper bid using imported, tariff-heavy materials might cost you more in the end (both in money and frustration).
