How Schumacher Homes is responding to 2021 material and supply chain challenges

August 10, 2021

Twenty-nine years ago, Schumacher Homes was started so families across America could build high-quality, affordable, completely customizable homes that were as unique and special as they were.  That’s what we continue to offer today and are focused on delivering for every homeowner.  Our goal and commitment has not wavered.  

We are doing everything we can to keep construction prices as low as possible and building timelines as short as possible.  Unfortunately, all home builders across the country, including us, are facing the challenges to all supply chains brought on by the pandemic.  

The pandemic has created both a shortage of important materials and caused increases in pricing at the same time.  And it’s not just lumber, it’s all the things that go into the building process – i.e. windows, garage doors, paint, concrete, siding, drywall, PVC, copper, and so much more on the inside and outside of the house – now cost more than ever.

At the same time as materials costs are going up, many areas have a labor shortage of quality, skilled tradespeople and labor costs for them also continue to increase further adding to prices and possible delays to build times.  You’ve probably experienced these same economic conditions in other areas of your life recently when visiting the grocery store, gas station, restaurants, etc.  

What are we doing about it for you?

We have a relentless focus on managing costs and prices for our customers to keep custom homes affordable for families.  At the same time, we will not sacrifice or compromise on quality of materials or workmanship.  We are working with our trade partners and suppliers to ensure we are receiving materials as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

This is still a fantastic time to purchase a brand-new home with interest rates hovering near record lows and existing home inventory being limited, and often selling above the asking price.  Making custom homes attainable for the many, not just the few, is what drives Schumacher Homes and we are committed to bringing your dream home to life. Our comprehensive, one-stop-shop offering and service continue, as always, to provide ease and pricing transparency for homeowners throughout the home building process.  Reach out to us to discuss your questions and dream home.
