Mobile Screen Gutter has long been a trusted provider of window screen repairs, installations, and steel security screens across Southern California. However, impending U.S. tariffs on imported materials may bring challenges that could affect both our business operations and the prices our customers pay.
Rising Costs of Essential Materials
Many of the materials used in window screens and security doors—such as aluminum, steel, and specialty mesh—are sourced internationally. With new tariffs increasing the cost of imported metals, businesses like ours may see price hikes of 6% or more on aluminum-based products.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Beyond cost increases, tariffs can also lead to delays in shipments and limited availability of certain materials. If suppliers struggle to absorb the additional costs, they may reduce exports or shift to alternative markets, making it harder for us to maintain a steady inventory of screen frames, mesh, and security doors.
Adjusting Pricing and Business Strategies
To navigate these changes, Mobile Screen Gutter may need to adjust pricing to reflect increased costs while ensuring customers still receive high-quality service. Businesses like ours might also explore alternative sourcing options or bulk purchasing strategies to mitigate the impact of tariffs.
What Customers Can Expect
While we remain committed to providing top-tier window screen solutions, customers may notice:
- Slight price increases on aluminum and steel-based products.
- Longer wait times for certain custom screen installations.
- Potential shifts in available materials as we explore alternative suppliers.
Despite these challenges, Mobile Screen Gutter will continue to offer reliable and affordable services while adapting to evolving trade policies. By staying informed and proactive, we can ensure that our customers still receive the durable, high-quality screens and security solutions they need
