Your Direct Line to Construction Product Training
As the only construction distributor in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic with on-staff trainers, customers lean on Garvin experts for technical knowledge and site support.
Our technical product staff has been on hundreds of customer visits. We don’t just recommend the best product on paper – we also evaluate job site challenges and material-to-material compatibility before bringing you a solution.
As experts on 7,000+ products, we can train you faster and more objectively. Or, as an insider to the supply chain, we can help get you the most accurate availability and lead time information and get in front of the manufacturer directly. And with an entire team of technical experts, we can give you a fuller, more-tailored solution than the “University of YouTube” can.
