BAKERSFIELD, CA, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Raw Welding Inc., a trusted name in the welding and fabrication industry, is speaking out about the challenges created by the recent tariffs and surging material costs. Owner Ruben Espinosa says the constant fluctuation in material pricing is making it increasingly difficult to provide accurate quotes to clients.
“With tariffs and global market shifts, prices are changing almost weekly,” said Espinosa. “What might be a fair estimate one week could be completely off the next. It’s creating a lot of uncertainty not just for us, but for our customers as well.”
The rising costs have left many business owners and developers hesitant to move forward with projects, particularly those with set budgets. For example, projects valued at $200,000 or more have stalled because the price of materials can increase significantly between the time of the estimate and the time work is ready to begin.
Raw Welding Inc. has seen firsthand how this uncertainty is impacting the local economy. “Our customers want to move forward, but they’re afraid of going over budget. We understand their concerns we’re all navigating the same challenges,” Espinosa explained.
Espinosa explained that this volatility puts pressure not only on businesses but also on employees and subcontractors who depend on steady project flow. “It’s not just numbers on a page, these delays affect jobs, families, and long-term investments,” he added.
Despite the difficulties, Raw Welding Inc. remains committed to transparency and customer trust. The company is actively working with clients to create flexible options, adjust timelines, and keep communication open so projects can move ahead as efficiently as possible.
