Indiana aluminum pergola maker says Supreme Court tariff ruling won’t significantly impact business

(20 Feb 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Noblesville, Indiana – 20 February 2026 1.

SOUNDBITE (English), Harrison Elmore, chief operating officer of The Luxury Pergola “My reaction to the Supreme Court's overall decision is that it probably won't change a huge amount of the day-to-day here because we source most of our stuff domestically. And at this point, most of the extrusion market has already absorbed the new pricing that has been a result of the importing of raw goods from other places.” 4.

SOUNDBITE (English), Harrison Elmore, chief operating officer of The Luxury Pergola: The importing of products from other countries has been something our competition has done for a long time, and it allows them to sell products at a cheaper price point, a couple reasons for that. For us, the advantage to the concept around the tariffs around finished goods was that we would have a better competitive advantage price per pound, essentially. The fact that the tariffs wouldn't be there would mean, in theory, they could retail it for less money.” 8. Wide of aluminum sheets stacked in a the factory 9.

SOUNDBITE (English), Harrison Elmore, chief operating officer of The Luxury Pergola: “While it in theory would help us, the problem is that the domestic pricing for aluminum has also skyrocketed as a result. So what we thought originally would be overall beneficial for us has cost our prices to also rise substantially, which means that all prices have basically gone up.” 12. Mid of workers operating machinery 13. Close up of machinery in operation 14. SOUNDBITE (English), Harrison Elmore, chief operating officer of The Luxury Pergola: “So the product, we don't import any of our product. We're happy that all of our products are made here in the United States, extruded here and sent to us. There have been effects from the tariffs on us, primarily on domestic pricing. Our extrusions have gone up 40 to 50% just because the price of aluminum is expensive because it's made elsewhere and imported into the United States. However, it's helped us because we don't have any supply chain concerns from importing from other places." 15. Mid of worker handling aluminum beams 16.

SOUNDBITE (English), Harrison Elmore, chief operating officer of The Luxury Pergola: “Because these tariffs shock the stock market, if you watch the stock market, it reacts to the news around the tariffs. Our customers are very sensitive to that. While they're not sensitive to the price of everyday products all the time, they do have money invested that they see as their overall worth or value, or they're pulling dividends from those stocks that they have invested. And so when the stock goes down, they don't wanna buy from us in those moments because they're afraid. So, we had a...up and down year, overall it was good. We did do better than the year prior and I think we hit most of our goals, but it was a little rocky because of a lot of different things and one of those was the news around the tariffs.” 18.
