Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order?

No. A few sticks or a truckload — same service, same price.

How do I get a price?

Call or text your cut list — price back within 15 minutes, business hours, at today's rate. You can run the entire order by text: (346) 200-4007.

C or Z — which purlin do I need?

Z purlins lap over each other for continuous runs; C purlins work for simple spans and framing. Not sure? Call with your span, spacing and load — we spec it in 5 minutes.

What's the longest purlin you can roll?

Up to 60 ft in one stick — as long as your truck or trailer can haul it. We load long trailers too.

Do you punch to my bolt pattern?

Yes — punched to your exact bolt pattern, or left plain.

Don't see your size or gauge?

We roll custom C and Z purlins — send your specification and we'll confirm on the spot.

Can I pick up the same day?

Yes — call by 3 PM and in-stock material is ready the same day. Custom work usually runs next business day.

How does pickup work? Do you deliver?

Our forklifts load every vehicle — pickup with a trailer or a full-length hauler, you never load yourself. In and out in about 20 minutes. Need delivery? We work with third-party haulers at fair Houston market rates.

Can you hold my order until I get there?

Yes — we'll reserve your material for 1–3 days.

How can I pay?

Card (debit or credit), cash, check, Zelle, bank transfer or online payment.

Can you count materials from my plans?

Yes — send us your plans and we'll do the takeoff and material count free.

Can I get documentation for the material?

Yes — material documentation is available with your order.
