🚨 ALERT: Steel Prices Skyrocketing—20% and Climbing! 📈

It’s **Debbie from Louis E. Page**, and I’ve got some **spicy news** about our industry that you **need to know about**.

Those **tariffs on Chinese steel** (where our materials come from) aren’t just political noise—they’re creating a **pricing nightmare**. One of our vendors hit us with a price increase last week... and then **ANOTHER ONE today**. We’re seeing jumps of **20% and still climbing**.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something **unprecedented** is happening. We’re not just seeing **one round of increases**—we’re seeing **multiple hikes back-to-back**, sometimes from the **same vendor within days**.

We’re experiencing this rollercoaster **firsthand** here at Louis E. Page, and I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t **sound the alarm**.

---

### **The Brutal Truth About Steel Prices 💥**

Here’s the **hard reality**: Vendors are hitting us with **consecutive price hikes**. What was shocking last week is **already outdated** as new increases arrive on our desk today. This isn’t just a **one-time adjustment**—it’s a **rapidly evolving situation** with no clear ceiling in sight.

We’re watching our **pricing structure change in real-time**, and it’s creating **significant challenges** for all types of projects across the board.

### **Your Quote Expires in Just 3 Days! ⏳**

Look, I’m not here to **panic you**. But I **am** here to give you the **unvarnished truth**.

If you’ve got projects in the pipeline that need our **wire mesh or plastic netting**, you’re facing a pricing situation that’s changing by the **week—sometimes by the day**. What we quoted last month is **obsolete**. What we quoted last **WEEK** might already be obsolete.

And here’s the **kicker**: Our vendors are now **only guaranteeing their prices for THREE DAYS**. That means any quote we give you today has a **72-hour expiration date** attached to it.
