Expect Rapid Increases in Shingle Costs

4/18/08

Why?  It's simple.  The major component in roofing shingles is asphalt.  Asphalt is derived from petroleum.  If you've been reading the papers about the cost of a barrel of crude oil or been filling your car's gas tank, you know what has been happening to prices.  They're up dramatically.

BSR's current costs from the manufacturer  was increased a little more than a month ago and will now be going up again in June.  If we have given you a proposal for a roof or will be receiving one shortly, it will be to your advantage to decide prior to June.

Following is a notification we received today from our supplier:
