Tariff Shock Hits Cabinet Prices | Durham News

Starting January 1, imported kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities face a tariff jump from 25% to 50%, aimed at boosting U.S. manufacturing—but American factories aren’t ready. The largest cabinet maker in North America isn’t even preparing for the hike, betting it won’t happen. Meanwhile, domestic wood production is in freefall: sawmills are shrinking, capacity’s down, and jobs hit a decade-low. Even if prices drop, custom orders get more complicated—not simpler—due to processing bottlenecks. If you’re renovating, act fast: lock in pricing and deadlines before Jan 1 with a written guarantee—or risk paying more later.
