Delivery Text Alerts
We're adding on another feature to the same delivery service that has brought you HBS SELECT, same/next day deliveries and the one and only Paul Kutz. Now you will receive a text message when your delivery is leaving our yard and once it is dropped off at your project.

The program is pretty simple, make sure you or your project manager provide the best phone number to reach you at for a delivery and then you'll receive a text message alert when we're rolling to you. We'll still call you when we're on our way, but if you can't talk, a text will let you know we're coming.

!! Price DECREASE !!
Did you just read that correctly? You sure did. Pricing for engineered wood products like LVL beams, posts and I-Joists is starting to come down. Going forward we'll realize and pass along decreased prices for engineered wood.

So are other manufacturers going to start cutting their prices? Unfortunately, that's highly unlikely for now. Engineered wood cost is driven from mill productivity and raw wood. Since typical new home starts are dropping faster than a tape measure off a hip rafter, that's relieving a lot of the production burden at the mills and increasing overall material availability for distributors.

Manufacturers of more complicated products like windows and doors are still facing exceptionally long lead times, increased labor wages and raw material prices. In order for us to see some pricing relief from those manufacturers, we need to see some lead time relief first.
Wood Stile & Rail Doors
Simpson and Woodgrain interior and exterior doors have announced a variable price increase that goes into effect on August 1st. We can expect a price increase of 5%-10% for interior doors and exterior doors respectively. This price increase is driven from your garden variety factors - raw material wood increases, freight increases, labor wage increases and general inflation.

If you need an interior or exterior wood door because you want to have it stained, then we highly recommend considering TruStile Doors. TruStile can provide raw wood doors AND they offer them prefinished (stain or paint) as well. If you're going to put a wood door up, having it prefinished makes it a turnkey solution.
