If there’s one thing Americans are known for it’s their national pride, and that includes products manufactured and made in the United States. According to a 2020 survey from The Reshoring Institute, nearly 70% of respondents said they prefer American-made products, and slightly more than 83% said they would pay up to 20% more for products made domestically.
Plumbing contractors echo the sentiment. According to Larry Shoemaker, owner of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based Deluxe Plumbing & Heating, he will choose American-made products over those manufactured overseas.
