As a service to our clients we want to keep you up to date on the industry. Currently we are seeing large increases in the Lumber Markets and Rebar Markets.

If you need to buy, do right now. Prices are expected to be $75 – $100 Higher per MBF (1000 Board Feet) in Lumber Markets with-in next two weeks.
