Buying Roofing Supplies Online: What You Need To Know

Benefits To Buying Roofing Supplies Online

There are many benefits to buying roofing and construction supplies online which we will cover below. One of the often overlooked aspects is also that you are supporting businesses like Roofing Direct instead of big box stores. That can have huge positive impacts in local communities around the nation, so thank you for supporting small business as you purchase roofing equipment from sites like ours.

Larger Product Selection In An Online Shop

One of the major benefits is that our product selection can be immense compared to a box store. Warehouses for online distributors can often hold more products and more efficiently than that of a big box retail store. This is because a dedicated industrial warehouse doesn’t have to have customer areas like check out lines or a large parking lot. We can dedicate more space to holding products and to expanding product selection. It is also easier to search through our warehouse for exactly what you need rather than wandering aimlessly through the huge aisles at a retail store. 

Better Discounts And Better Pricing Due To Lower Overhead

Online retailers can typically offer better product discounts than brick and mortar stores because they have significantly lower overhead costs and a much more efficient picking and packing and delivery system. A smaller warehouse staff means more savings for you and an easier shopping experience overall. At Roofing Direct, we also have an excellent loyalty rewards program in which you can receive discounts on each purchase. To learn more about the Loyalty Rewards program, simply click here. 

Easy Delivery

Another great benefit of shopping online is the aspect of delivery. With our store, you can purchase all of your roofing supplies and have them delivered to your next job site which saves you and your crew time and effort. With gas prices the way they are today, you’ll be happy that you won’t have to fill up your tank as often and it saves wear and tear on your truck. So, the next time you are dreading that hours long trip to the local big box store to resupply your roofing crew, remember that you can place an order with us directly from your smartphone or tablet and have the products delivered either to your business or job site. 

An Online Roof Store Can Offer Multi Language Support

It’s a gamble every time you walk in the door of a big box store. Will they be able to help me and answer questions in my language? Not all of them will and you can’t always be sure when their multi-language support staff will be on hand when you need them. Instead, if you shop through a website, you can view and search every product in your native language whether it’s Spanish, or English. We also have Spanish speaking experts on hand every day to help you with your questions about products or services or tracking an order. No matter what language you speak, we are always happy to help you get the materials you need for your next job.

Better Customer Service 

Big box stores are always hit or miss with their customer service. They may have friendly people on staff, but they are not always experts. We are able to have truly the best of both worlds: friendly staff who are knowledgeable about our products and your needs. We can help you pick out the right products for your job or track an order or just about anything else you may need help with. We’re standing by to help you with any questions you might have. Give us a call (during business hours) or send us an email anytime, day or night and we will get back to you as soon as humanly possible. Click here for more information or to drop us a line. We can’t wait to hear from you.  

Saves You Time With Easy Reordering

If you made a huge shopping trip to your local big box store last week and you need the same supplies and parts this week, you will have to haul a huge cart all around the store and boxt it up and put it in your truck and haul it back to the work site yet again. With online re-ordering, you can input your last order with just a few quick clicks and have it on its way to you without ever having to leave your office or jobsite. You can save time, money, and the hassle of getting stuck in traffic to and from the store. 

Order Anywhere

That’s right. You don’t have to drive across town and fight traffic to make your purchase. Simply pull up your smartphone, laptop, or tablet and start putting things directly into your virtual cart. Our site is fast, easy, and very mobile friendly to help you get what you need quickly and easily. Our entire warehouse is in the palm of your hands. Try it today!
