The construction materials market is "hot" every day due to the increasing demand for repairs.

After the storm, many building material dealers in Hanoi continued to sell at the listed prices.

Overheating repair order

Mr. Xuan Truong, the owner of a building materials agency on Le Trong Tan Street (Thanh Xuan District), said that in recent days, due to the impact of typhoon number 3, the demand for house and production facility repairs has increased sharply. This mainly relates to issues such as leaky or damaged roofs, or walls damp from heavy rain that need to be addressed.

"The workload has increased considerably. Every day, people call needing help with roof-related issues, waterproofing, etc. I've also urged my colleagues to try their best to assist families as quickly as possible, because the weather has been unpredictable lately, and if we don't fix it quickly, it will take even longer to repair," Mr. Truong shared.

Meanwhile, many building material dealers in areas such as Hoang Quoc Viet, Kim Nguu, Dai La, My Dinh..., all acknowledge that after typhoon No. 3, people's demand for repairing leaks, trimming fallen tree branches; and buying and selling roofing sheets, building materials, wall adhesive... has increased significantly.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Sang, owner of a steel and iron business in the My Dinh area (Nam Tu Liem district), said that in recent days, his shop has been fully booked for repairs due to a sharp increase in orders. Because of the limited number of workers, they cannot meet all the repair needs, and in many cases, they have had to turn away customers from distant locations.

"Currently, all our weekend repair appointments are booked in advance, and we won't be able to resume work until next week. Most of the repairs and reinforcements are for corrugated iron roofs that were installed carelessly by many families in the past, resulting in deterioration or the use of low-quality products that are not thick enough to withstand strong winds during storms, causing the roofs to be blown off or punctured by falling trees," Mr. Sang said.

Material prices are low.

Despite the high demand for repairs and building materials, business owners are trying to support people by selling at the listed prices and providing price quotes in advance when needed, so that people can repair their homes and get back on track after the storm.

Mr. Tran Quoc Thang, in charge of sales at the General Agency for Building Materials in Dai Mo (Nam Tu Liem), said that despite high demand, the agency does not increase product prices or take advantage of the demand to raise prices for profit.

"After the storm, although we received many orders, my agency will send out price quotes in advance and provide support during the construction process, such as pumping, sealing, and replacing gutters..." - Mr. Thang said.
