AIRDRIE
We specialize in hard-to-source interior and exterior home finishing products including flooring, doors, mouldings and especially wood products. Our goal is simple - focus on our customer's needs and provide outstanding customer service. We're more than a local building supply company, and our business model is also very different. Most of our locations are family affairs - independently locally owned and operated, not top-down like most franchise groups.

We carry high quality, responsibly sourced products and are committed to providing outstanding value and personalized, one-on-one service to all of our customers.

We are proud to have been in business 50 years with stores across Canada and in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
