Tips
Ø Quicklists gives customers the ability to build lists of items for recall and future quoting (such as “Deck Components”, “Fence Parts”, “Framing”, “Finish”, etc.) and will allow the customers to log in and quickly build their own quotes based of the items they like to buy or use regularly.
Ø Lineal footage of lumber, i.e. 500 lineal feet, cannot be entered in the Online Quotes. You will need to enter a tally of lengths of lumber to add up to the desired lineal footage. Your sales representative may suggest alternative lengths.
Ø How to change passwords. We strongly recommend you change your password regularly. Passwords should be at least eight characters long and contain at least one each of upper case, lower case, numerals, and special characters; and not contain any words found in any dictionary. Click on "Settings" at top of page. Enter your old password and your new password twice for verification, then click "Change password".
