For fence and deck contractors, material supply is either an invisible strength or a daily headache. Crews standing around waiting on a shorted delivery costs real money. Here’s how the pros we’ve supplied for decades keep lumber from ever being the bottleneck.
Get Numbers Fast for Bids
Bid velocity depends on pricing velocity. Send us your material list and we’ll turn quotes around quickly — contractors tell us that speed is a big part of why they source from us. Repeat orders for standard builds go even faster once we know your spec.
Use Jobsite Delivery Strategically
Delivery from our Garland or Arlington yards direct to the jobsite means your crew starts building instead of hauling. For multi-phase jobs, staggered deliveries keep material from sitting exposed on site longer than it needs to.
Standardize Your Spec, Then Lean on It
Contractors who standardize on a picket grade, post size, and rail count get consistent material and consistent quotes. When a customer wants an upgrade — board-on-board, cap and trim, pre-stained material — it’s a clean line-item conversation instead of a re-spec.
Pre-Stain to Compress Schedules
Our pre-stain service delivers fence, deck, and pergola material already finished on all faces. That removes a weather-dependent step from your schedule and delivers a better finish than field-coating an assembled structure.
Custom Milling for the Weird Jobs
Matching a 1980s fence profile or a nonstandard trim dimension? Our Waco milling facility can produce custom patterns and profiles, so ‘we can’t get that anymore’ doesn’t have to kill a job.
Dallas Cedar has supplied North Texas contractors, builders, and remodelers since 1976. If you’re not already on a first-name basis with our counter team, bring in your next material list and see the difference a specialist yard makes.
