Supply-chain issues have made home-improvement projects more expensive. Shipping delays, as well as the Texas freeze, have emptied shelves at stores like Home Depot and Lowe's. From refrigerators to cabinets and windows, here are some of the items that are getting pricier. Many home-improvement goods including appliances, paint, and fertilizer are getting more expensive as companies continue to announce price hikes to combat shortages and rising shipping costs. Price tags on consumer goods have risen over 10% from a year ago, The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend, citing NielsenIQ. Demand for home improvement items caused by the work-from-home boom has pushed prices to new highs and these price hikes are not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon.
