Why buying American made products is important

As the economy is constantly changing, and the job market fluctuates up and down, Basements & Beyond is reminded once again of the importance of buying American made construction products for our remodeling projects. Using American made products and tools can directly impact our local and national communities by creating jobs and revenue. The numbers can be staggering when added up.

As reported by Diane Sawyer on “Nightly News”, buying American made products can immediately improve our economy by creating thousands of jobs. If the construction industry used 5% more American made products, it would create an estimated 220,000 jobs. It is estimated that this number would jump exponentially as the increased amount of American made products were purchased and used for construction.

At Basements & Beyond we are dedicated to using American made products. From our locally manufactured cabinets by Master Craft to the wood studs from Washington State and drywall from Gypsum, Colorado, we are constantly looking for superior American manufactured materials to complete our projects. We also hire and employ only legal citizens and residents the United States. This effort helps keep American money in the U.S. to fuel our economy. At Basements & Beyond we recommend talking to your remodeler when starting a new project about his/her dedication to buying American made products.
