Crateworks Supply Co. · Volume I · 2026
One sourcing partner for the whole project.
Crateworks is a factory-direct sourcing company for builders, designers, and homeowners: windows, doors, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, stone, and bath on one coordinated quote. A single-family home saves $30,000 to $70,000; commercial fit-outs scale the same math across the build.

Where are you in the build?
Every category comes back at direct cost, with no dealer, showroom, or rep margin in the price. That is how a single-family package saves $30,000 to $70,000. Where you are in the build decides what to lock first.

Why we built this.
We started Crateworks because the gap between premium brand pricing and what the product actually costs to make is wider than most builders realize. Dealer, distributor, and showroom margins compound. The result is a 60 to 70 percent retail mark up on aluminum that already meets the same engineering specs as the brand-name line.
Crateworks is our answer. Same engineering, qualified at the source, sold direct. We carry the supplier relationships, the freight, and the warranty desk so you carry the project.
We sign ten founding partner builders to anchor the launch. You spec one opening as your first project. If margin is not where you need it after install, we refund the markup. No questions, no waiting on a year of orders.
