Ipe Wood Contractor Program — Wholesale Pricing for Professionals
We work directly with deck contractors, builders, architects, and landscape designers who need a reliable ipe supplier for ongoing projects. Our contractor program offers volume pricing, project-based quotes, dedicated account support, and consistent stock availability.
Who Qualifies
Our contractor program is designed for licensed deck and construction contractors who build multiple decks per year, general contractors and builders specifying premium hardwood decking on residential or commercial projects, landscape architects and designers who want a trusted material supplier for client specifications, and lumber yards and building supply companies looking to carry quality ipe inventory.
We don’t require a minimum annual volume to open an account — just a valid contractor’s license or business registration and a project history that demonstrates professional construction experience.
Contractor Program Benefits
Volume pricing — our contractor rates are 10-25% below retail depending on order size and frequency. Pricing scales with volume: single-project orders, standing account pricing, and high-volume annual contracts all carry different rate structures.
Project quoting — send us your deck plans or square footage and we’ll provide a detailed material list with board counts, waste factor calculations, and cut length optimization to minimize your material cost.
Consistent stock — we maintain substantial inventory of standard decking dimensions. Contractor accounts get advance notice of stock availability and can reserve material for upcoming projects before retail demand depletes supply.
Cut-to-length service — need boards in non-standard lengths? We offer cut-to-length service on volume orders, reducing job-site waste and labor.
Dedicated account contact — contractor accounts work with a dedicated account manager, not a general customer service queue. Your contact knows your preferences, previous orders, and typical project specs.
Fast quote turnaround — we understand that project timelines are tight. Contractor quotes are typically delivered within 24 hours of receiving project details.
Our Ipe Inventory
We stock premium Brazilian ipe (Tabebuia serratifolia) in the most common decking dimensions: 1×4, 1×6, 5/4×4, and 5/4×6 profiles in lengths from 8 to 20 feet. All stock is kiln-dried to 12-15% moisture content. We also carry ipe for deck framing, ipe handrail stock, and ipe stair treads.
For large commercial projects or unusual specifications, we work directly with our Brazilian mill partners to fulfill custom orders on timeline. Contact us early in your project planning to discuss feasibility and lead times.
Installation Resources
As a contractor customer, you have access to our full installation documentation: pre-drilling specifications for preventing splitting, expansion gap recommendations by climate zone, hidden clip and face-screw installation guides, recommended finishes and application schedules, and material calculators for estimating board quantities. We’re also available by phone for installation questions during active projects.
