We distribute metal roofing and other specialty building materials to the construction industry in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico. We'll go even farther, if you need us. As a part of the vibrant and often stressful construction industry, you need suppliers who provide product instead of excuses and surprises - and that's where we want to become your trusted partner. We stock and distribute specialty products including aluminum shingles, steel roofing, standing seam, and aluminum patio cover components.
ARS Building Supply was founded by Jim Wakeland and his family in 1972. Over the years, they worked hard to build relationships and meet customer needs, all the while resisting the "big box" and "national conglomerate" philosophies that were taking over building materials distribution. The problem with those business models is that they stuff all of their customers into the same box. They know customers primarily by account numbers and they know inventory only by product codes. There is no personalization and there are no friendships that draw the supplier and the customer together in a way that provides confidence that the distributor "has their back" and consistently has their best interests in mind.
