We also offer technical guidance for DIY roof repairs and replacements.

Our commercial roofing division supplies materials for large-scale projects including built-up roofing, modified bitumen, single-ply membranes, and cold-applied systems. We work with contractors to specify code-compliant solutions for flat or low-slope commercial roofs. Our technical team provides product recommendations based on building requirements, climate considerations, and longevity expectations while maintaining competitive pricing for bulk material purchases.
Masonry Supplies
We offer a complete line of masonry materials including bricks, concrete blocks, paving stones, and natural stone products. Our inventory supports both structural and decorative applications for residential and commercial projects. The product range includes standard building materials alongside premium options for custom outdoor kitchens, patios, and architectural features. Showroom displays help visualize finished installations before purchasing.
Contractor Referrals
Our contractor referral service connects homeowners with pre-vetted roofing and masonry professionals.

This complimentary service helps clients find reliable professionals for installation, repair, and maintenance projects while ensuring material compatibility with our supplied products.

We support roof repair projects with material supply and technical guidance. Our inventory includes replacement shingles, flashing, sealants, and underlayment materials. Staff assist in diagnosing common roof issues like leaks or storm damage while providing advice on temporary fixes versus full replacements. We also refer repair jobs to qualified contractors in our network for professional service when needed.
Questions
Can I reroof my house myself?
While possible for experienced DIYers, we recommend professional installation for safety and warranty reasons. We provide materials and guidance if you choose the DIY approach.
Does roof replacement require a building permit?
Most jurisdictions require permits for roof replacements. Your contractor typically handles this process, but we recommend confirming local requirements with your city office.
How do I know when to replace my roof?
Signs include leaks, missing granules, cracked tiles, or storm damage. Use binoculars to inspect from ground level, or contact us for professional assessment referrals.
How long does roof replacement take?
Typical residential replacements take 1-3 days. Commercial projects vary by size and complexity. Weather conditions and material availability may affect timelines.
What roofing material types do you offer?
We carry asphalt shingles, clay/concrete tiles, metal roofing, synthetic slate, fire-retardant wood shakes, and built-up roofing systems for commercial applications.
Do you provide contractor warranties?
We refer contractors who offer their own workmanship warranties. We recommend discussing specific warranty terms directly with your selected contractor before project commencement.
