Frequently Asked Questions

What is your dealer area?

In Nova Scotia, we deliver regularly to all points from Annapolis Royal, Digby Neck, Weymouth, Clare, Yarmouth, Pubnico, Wedgeport, Argyle, Cape Island, and Barrington. 

I live in elsewhere in the province, but I'd really like to deal with you for our next project, can you deliver to us?

Absolutely.  We have shipped houselots to Cape Breton, Halifax, Sackville, Dartmouth and many in the Annapolis Valley.  Each project is different, we'll want to talk to you about the costs and the timing issues involved.

Do you charge for delivery?

Yes we do.  There are very real costs in operating a delivery fleet.  Fuel, insurance, maintenance, driver's wages and the costs of the trucks themselves.  If you know of a way to run trucks for free, please call us as we'd like to know.

We believe we offer value with our delivery service and it is certainly well worth the cost we charge. 

In addition, some items when advertised as Cash and Carry may involve additional delivery charges for us to deliver.    

Does everyone pay delivery? 

Yes we charge all our customers for delivery, this includes new home builders and contractors.  Our contractors have come to value the efficiency of our service and believe it is well worth the amounts charged. 

Can you deliver drywall in the rain?

Our latest addition to our fleet is a 1-1/2 Ton Covered Box Truck which we hope will allow us to deliver drywall and other items during rainy days. 

Can you boom the materials where I want them?  Will you put the shingles on my roof?

The purpose of our boom is to unload our truck.  We will try to accommodate homeowner wishes for placement of product to the best of our ability.  However, we are not a crane service and there may be additional costs involved to prevent the abuse of this service.

As to shingles on a rooftop, we leave that to the discretion of our boom truck driver.  If he believes it can be safely done and in a reasonable time frame, he may.  However, do not call our store complaining the driver refused to put the shingles on the roof, as we will always support the decision of our driver on this matter. 

I have material left over from a job, do you charge for pickup?

Yes, a separate pick up charge will apply to all material pick-ups.  When calling for a pick-up of left-over goods, please realize that deliveries get priority in our system.  There may be up to a week's delay in having our trucks stop in and pick up your material. 

There is a $20.00 pickup fee if we pick up your left-over materials.  This is necessary to pay for the fuel and driver's time while on site.  Again, if you feel this charge is excessive, you are more than welcome to bring your return directly to our store. 

I see you also have a Rental Center, can I get staging delivered with my order?

Absolutely.  We can deliver any item from our rental center direct to your home or jobsite.  It is very common for scaffolding to be delivered with window, siding or roofing orders.  

We can also pick up Rental Items. However, we do not schedule our trucks based on pick-ups (as deliveries get priority).  You will be responsible for Rental charges up to the day our trucks are able to pick up the material.  Staging must be completely dismantled and ready for pick-up. 

Do you deliver on weekends?

We do not schedule drivers for deliveries on weekends.  However, we are flexible and have a great team of drivers.  If you have special circumstances that warrant a weekend delivery, let us know and we will try to accommodate. 

Will the driver have help on the truck?

The delivery charge includes only the driver on the truck.   If you require additional assistance, please let us know in advance, however there will be an extra charge for the extra person on the truck.
