To quote the Wall Street Journal, “They [lumber mill owners] expected widespread job loss and economic uncertainty would torpedo demand for building products. Instead, stuck-at-home Americans undertook home-improvement projects en masse. Home builders are rushing to meet the soaring demand for houses, stoked by historically-low mortgage rates and a flight to the suburbs.”

While the supply chain is struggling to fill the gap, the good news is that Archadeck of Central South Carolina customers have not been affected. Because of our long-standing relationship with our lumber supplier, we are still able to get the materials we need to complete your project.
If you are thinking about building a sunroom, porch, or deck project, now would be a good time to lock in your pricing and get on our schedule for the fall or winter.
