Material Pricing FAQ

How often do building material prices change?

Lumber and steel prices can change weekly based on commodity markets. Drywall, concrete, and roofing materials tend to shift quarterly. We update our data monthly to reflect national trends.

Are these prices installed or material-only?

These are material-only prices. For installed costs including labor, see our service cost pages. Labor typically adds 50–200% on top of material costs depending on the trade.

How can I save money on building materials?

Buy in bulk when possible, compare prices at multiple suppliers (Home Depot, Lowe's, local yards), look for seasonal sales, and consider alternative materials that offer similar performance at lower cost.
