live stock — on one screen.

What you get
01
Trade pricing, instant
Apply once. Approved accounts see contractor pricing on every PDP — no quote-by-quote phone tag.
02
Net-30 terms
Approved accounts ship on terms. We invoice when the order ships, not when you start the project.
03
Jobsite delivery
Schiller Park + Bridgeview cover all of Chicagoland. Drop at the job, not your shop.
04
Dedicated rep
Real person on your account — same name, same number, picks up the phone.
05
Sample bundles by job
Tell us the project profile ("4BR new-build, white oak") — we'll ship 8 SKUs same day.
06
Custom milling priority
Mill runs we'd refuse for a one-time buy, we'll queue for accounts with history.
How pricing works
Three tiers.
Clear, before you call.
Most distributors hide the trade tier until you sign. We don't. Here's what each tier covers, and what you'd typically pay on a ~$8k order.
| Tier | Who | Typical discount | Net-30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Retail | Homeowners · one-off projects | List · IL tax applies | — |
| Trade ● | Approved contractors | 15–22% off retail · tax-exempt w/ resale cert | Available after 2 paid orders |
| Trade Elite | High-volume builders · $40k+/yr | 22–28% off retail · custom milling priority | Default · 60-day on request |
Tiers are guideline only. Brand-specific MAP and lot pricing override. Final pricing confirmed on your account.
