Use the quote form insteadFour product families. Four different sets of questions.
Framing, roofing, deck and accessories don't get quoted the same way. Pick the one you're buying and you'll see the profiles, gauges and finishes we carry.
Three steps, one person, no queue
Email a PDF, an Excel sheet, or a photo of a handwritten list. We'll read it and come back with questions if something doesn't add up.
Web, flange, mil thickness and length checked against what the drawings call for. 362S125-43 and 362S125-54 are not the same stud and we won't quote them like they are.
You tell us the date, the entrance and who's receiving. We schedule the truck around your sequence and confirm before it rolls.
What we stock, and what we don't
We keep the common studs, track and accessories on hand, so the everyday order goes out fast. Everything else runs manufacturer-direct.
If an item is coming direct, we tell you the lead time before you commit — not after. You should never learn about a delay from your foreman.
Going direct is also why the pricing works. There's no warehouse of slow-moving inventory built into your number.

Everything your reviewer will ask for
Code reports, material data, profile drawings and submittals. If an architect or engineer needs it to approve the material, it should not take a phone call to get.
