Your Favorite Supply House? - Plumbing Zone

Wethead · 11-26-2008, 06:22 AM

I know this answer may vary from state to state, although there are a few country wide distributors

Which is your favorite supply house?

It's ok if you name a small guy in your town or city as well.

I am just curious,

Some popular ones by me are Blackman , Furgerson and some local guys....

We have had good luck with Covenant Supply in Douglasville, GA. They have been around for like 35 years and their son has an internet supply business called National Builder Supply in Lithia Springs, GA. They both do a great job, reasonable prices, good service.

Kind of a conflict of interest when you work for the supplier that you are claiming gives you good service, isn't it faucetman?

At least his signature makes it clear he isn't in sales.

i use a supplier called northwest pipe , also winnelson. i had a pretty gnarly run in w/ ferguson about four years ago when i started my shop. corporate pretty much lied to me about starting my acct and the manager totally lied to me about it and put me in a tight place starting my business. i told ferguson to jam it up thier

and ended up sending the manager to the dentist.
