Climbing lumber prices are pushing up home, deck costs By Jeff Branscome, The Freelance Star
Price fluctuations in lumber forced Atlantic Homes to push prices up by about $1,000 per home this year, said Charles Caruso, director of purchasing for Atlantic Homes.
Some area builders and suppliers say gas prices are to blame for higher lumber costs, as more money is spent transporting the produce.
Others blame costlier lumber treatment methods on reconstruction efforts in Iraq.
Mike French, owner of Virginia Decking and Remodeling, said the Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for price increases in treated lumber. At the end of last year, lumber treatment companies no longer could produce chromated copper arsenate, which was used to protect it against rot and pests.------------------------------------------- posted 8:02 AM :: reference link ::
