Why We Build with Ohio-Made Materials (and Avoid Tariffs Doing It)

At Bo Lacey Construction, we believe in building smarter—starting with the materials we use.

While global tariffs have driven up the cost of imported construction products, we’ve taken a different approach: sourcing materials made right here in the U.S.—especially in our home state of Ohio.

We’re proud to use roofing, siding, decking, and windows manufactured by trusted American companies with deep roots in the Buckeye State. Not only does this support our local economy—it helps us avoid shipping delays, reduce tariff exposure, and ensure long-term quality for our homeowners.

Ohio-Made Products We Trust

Here’s a look at some of the brands we use every day on homes in Mansfield, Norwalk, Mount Vernon, and Circleville, and surrounding areas:

  • Shingles: CertainTeed – Made in Erie County, Ohio
  • Siding: Alside – Manufactured in Wayne County, Ohio
  • Deck Boards: TimberTech (AZEK) – Produced in Clinton County, Ohio
  • Windows: ProVia – Built in Tuscarawas County, Ohio

Whether you’re in Ashland, Sandusky, Bellville, Apple Valley, Chillicothe, or Ashville, we’re using materials built for this climate—and built to last.

More Than Just Materials—It’s a Mindset

Ohio is one of the strongest manufacturing states in the U.S., and it’s personal to us. We actively support manufacturers who share our values and vision. In fact:

  • We’ve partnered with Alside and TimberTech for joint marketing campaigns and billboards.
  • We receive exclusive homeowner leads from AZEK TimberTech.
  • CertainTeed supports our visibility in key Ohio markets.

This local sourcing means more jobs in Ohio, fewer headaches for homeowners, and projects that finish on time and on budget.

Why Homeowners Benefit

By choosing American- and Ohio-made materials, our customers enjoy:

  • Shorter lead times (products are shipped from in-state)
  • Fewer price spikes (less impact from global tariffs)
  • Better warranties (U.S.-backed manufacturers)
  • Peace of mind (you know exactly where your materials came from)
