Hurricane Season Prep
Preparing for hurricane season is quite possibly one of the most looked past forms of prep in the world of logistics. Hurricane season for the Atlantic Coast and Gulf Coast runs from June 1st through October 31st with heightened chances from early August through the end of October. Everyone has heard the phrase “better safe than sorry,” and this couldn’t ring more true when discussing the possibility of a potentially devastating hurricane interrupting your supply chain. Being located in Tampa, Florida, we take every precaution to ensure your products and pallets arrive safe to all of you throughout the United States.

COVID-19 & Hurricane Elsa Update
As everyone is well aware, we are experiencing a global pandemic and have to navigate our business accordingly. We know that you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your doors and hardware.
We are happy to announce that we are no longer experiencing lumber and wood product delays. Glass delays are an ongoing issue. We are dealing with major shipping and freight delays as well. Our current lead time is 10 weeks and all freight shipping, as well as small packages (UPS, FedEx, USPS), is experiencing longer than normal delays. Freight carriers are currently rejecting one in every four loads tendered under contract terms. Unfortunately, the driver shortage is still an issue. Backlogs continue to hamper some parts of the country due to weather, COVID-19 impacts, and overall capacity constraints.
Thank you for your continued support and allowing us to continue building your custom doors. We appreciate all of you so much!!!
