Featured Reviews for Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA

Brazilian Direct, Ltd
Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2016
“I was recommended to Brazilian Direct by friends who had purchased this product about 12 years ago. They have an absolutely beautiful custom home and their floors are fabulous, so we had already decided if we ever renovated another house, we wanted the same type of teak flooring. We do not live very far from the owner of this business, and he was very accommodating and wanted to make sure we had good service. He is very specific about how these floors should be installed, and we ended up using an installer that he recommended (who was a super nice guy and did a great job per my general contractor, Old Woods Properties out of Green Lane, PA). I have to say that there was VERY little waste with this product and these installers, and we ended up with enough wood to do an additional small room, so following our general contractors recommendation, we decided to purchase a few more boxes and now our renovation has hardwood flooring throughout.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 April 2015
“No landscaping yet, but wanted to share the transformation. Thank you to Nick Talio and Joe Walsh for their professionalism and customer service. We have now put Timberlane shutters on two homes. Have loved the finished products both times! Impeccable work.”
Northern Roof Tiles
Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 July 2017
“I have worked with NRT for close to 20 years, as they have grown from a small organization offering a few roof tile options, to the industry leader in architecturally appropriate roof tiles. Stuart is a certified roof tile fanatic, and I learn more about roofing every time I work with him. He is a indispensible asset to anyone considering a roof tile project - either new work or a renovation.”
Glen-Gery Brick
Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 January 2015
“Very pleased with their products. We are a remodeling firm specializing in basement finishing, and incorporating Glen-Gery brick or stone into the finished design has truly added to the visual appeal and beauty of many of our projects. Would highly recommend! Leah Smith, President Buckeye Basements, Inc. www.buckeyebasements.com”
DL Stone Design
Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 February 2014
“DL Stone does our company's fabrication for quartz and granite counter-tops. They do a fabulous job and are pleasant to work with. They take accurate measurements and they have a quick turn around from the time it takes to make a template to installation. They take pride in their work and fix any issues that may arise. We look forward to continuing to work with DL Stone for many more years to come.”
Elkton Supply
Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 February 2018
“ELKTON SUPPLY is an excellent-- even outstanding Hardware Supply Company. We cannot say enough about them -- and their customer service! We ordered a Cupola -- along with a weathervane, and it arrived in tact. However, upon prepping the cupola for the weathervane, the roofing company discovered that the main rod (a KEY piece that holds the weathervane on top of the cupola, allowing it to spin), was missing from the order! Well, while the crane operator sat idle (and it was costing us money for his services that day), we deduced what was needed to make it work, and I decided to run to ELKTON SUPPLY (10 minutes from our home) in hopes they could help -- and in a hurry! I informed one of the hardware experts there of our dilemma, and he quickly but confidently went into action. Although they did not have a weathervane rod 'lying around', he nevertheless improvised and found a comparable rod, then threaded it for a nut -- providing a special nut, as well in order to keep the rod from flying off in a windstorm. I thanked him profusely, jumped back in my car, and got back to the crane operator in a 30 minute flat trip. They installed the weathervane, and the Cupola went up without a hitch after that. But I would be remiss if we didn't mention that we were so grateful for ELKTON SUPPLY -- and the smart gentleman who improvised a solution for us under pressure. Every time we go there the service is SECOND TO NONE! Hardware stores like this are very difficult to find, in particular ones who have such a supply of items they hold in stock at all times. We can't say enough about Elkton Supply! They get 5 gold stars!”
Benjamin Obdyke
Building Supplies Companies in Glenside, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 October 2017
“Benjamin Obdyke offers a great collection of products. I've used the Hydrogap Drainable housewrap on a number of houses. It performs great. House wrap tape no longer works well but I'll take that trade any day for the bulk water drainage. I've also used the Rain Slicker products behind stucco and stone. It offers a great comfort seeing that massive air gap between the masonry and the wood framing.”

What should I consider when choosing building materials?


One of the biggest challenges when building or renovating a home is deciding where to spend and where to save on building materials. One way to balance your spend is to use more expensive building materials, such as stone, timber panelling, and rain screens, sparingly, or to substitute a lower installation cost for a higher material cost.

When comparing costs, also take into account energy efficiency and lifespan. Some windows, for example, are more energy efficient than others; and while they may have a bigger price tag, the savings you make from insulation will, over time, offset the higher upfront cost. The same goes for timber flooring – often the cheaper the material, the sooner it will need to be replaced.

Raw materials and how they’re applied – including everything from metal roofing and timber panelling, to board-formed concrete and porcelain tiles – can provide infinite design possibilities. If you’re working with a Glenside, PA builder, architect or designer, they will likely have favourite building materials they like to work with, as well as favourite suppliers. Ask them for examples of how the material has been used in past projects, and seek out alternatives for comparisons.

Questions to ask a supplier of timber and building materials in Glenside, PA:


  • Where do you source your supplies from?
  • How is your timber harvested?
