Building Success Together: A Guide to Choosing Your Ideal Building Materials Supplier

Whether you are building a family home or a 16,000 seat amphitheater, selecting the right building materials supplier is a critical decision that can significantly impact the success of your endeavor. Enter Carter Lumber, your trusted partner in construction for more than 90 years. Here's your comprehensive guide to making the right choice:

1. Reputation Matters

When it comes to building materials, reputation is key. Carter Lumber stands tall with more than 90 years of being a trusted name in the industry. We began in 1932, when W.E. Carter took a chance and purchased a bankrupt lumberyard at the height of the Great Depression. With hardwork, determination and a whole lot of grit, what started out as one lumberyard in Akron, Ohio, has grown to more than 165 locations across the eastern United States. Carter Lumber has always strived to be the best, not the bigges, and to provide exceptional customer service and top-notch materials to our customers and the communities we service. Our commitment has solidified our position as a reliable partner for countless successful projects.

2. Quality Assurance

Building with confidence starts with quality materials. At Carter Lumber, we go the extra mile to ensure our materials meet and exceed the highest industry standards. We build strong relationships with equally reputable vendors to make sure we pass on the highest quality products to our customers. This dedication guarantees the durability and longevity of your project, setting you on the path to success.

3. Variety is Key

Every project is unique, and so are its material requirements. Carter Lumber takes pride in offering a diverse range of materials, from roof and floor trusses to kitchen cabinets and prehung doors. Whatever your construction needs, we've got you covered with a comprehensive selection.

4. Customer Support

A reliable supplier extends beyond delivering materials — it involves excellent customer support. The Carter Lumber team is committed to assisting you at every step of your project, ensuring a seamless experience from material selection to timely delivery. Our dedicated sales reps will be your partner every step of the way. We know that our success is only as great as your success.

5. In-House Credit and Yard Rewards

Finances should never hinder your project's progress. Explore our convenient in-house credit options at Carter Lumber, making the financial aspect of your project hassle-free. Additionally, our Yard Rewards program is designed to give you more value with each purchase, providing an extra incentive for choosing us as your construction partner.

6. Competitive Pricing

While quality is paramount, we understand the importance of cost-effectiveness. Carter Lumber strives to provide competitive pricing without compromising on the excellence of our materials, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.

7. Timely Delivery

Project timelines are crucial, and so is timely material delivery. Carter Lumber prioritizes efficient logistics and operations, guaranteeing that your materials arrive on schedule, keeping your project on track for success. Unlike other companies that pass your orders off to an uninvested third-party for delivery, we have our own company-owned fleet of delivery vehicles operated by fully licensed drivers who make every single delivery of our products. We employ a state-of-the-art dispatch and delivery system that ensures every order arrives when it is supposed to arrive. With this system in place, we increased the efficiency of our fleet by almost 30%!
