Shepley Wood Products

What Shepley Wood Products does

Shepley Wood Products is a wholesale distributor of lumber and building materials that has operated on Cape Cod, Massachusetts since 1878, currently functioning as an account-based B2B supplier to builders, contractors, architects, and (indirectly) homeowners across Cape Cod and Nantucket. The company maintains three sales/yard locations — a headquarters and primary yard in Hyannis plus sales offices in Wellfleet and Nantucket — and provides free delivery within a 75-mile radius of its Hyannis facility, with adjacent island delivery handled by special arrangement. The product mix spans commodity lumber (SPF, pressure-treated Madison Wood, fir plywood, Typar house-wrap) and branded specialty lines (Andersen Windows, Simpson WaterBarrier doors, CertainTeed roofing, VELUX skylights, TimberTech PVC decking, NanaWall bifolds, Maibec/MultiCedre/Bardobec white cedar shingles, Rocky Mountain Hardware bronze hardware, TruStile and Brosco interior doors, RIVA hardwood flooring, Build With Halo thermal systems).

The digital layer supporting the wholesale operation is modest and primarily transactional: ShepNet provides around-the-clock account access for inventory checks, pricing, quote creation, online ordering, and invoice/job tracking; ShepPay (hosted on Billtrust) handles online payments for charge-account holders; and a 3D Virtual Showcase enables remote product configuration of Andersen Windows. The company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no public or partner-facing API, and no proprietary platform architecture — technology serves as account-management glue rather than a competitive differentiator. Marketing relies on a monthly 'Shepformation' email newsletter, the 'Tony's Terra Firma' industry blog by founder/owner Tony Shepley, Toolbox Talks safety content, and the 27-year-old 'Shepley Wide Open' charity golf tournament, alongside Cape Cod Community Choice Awards brand recognition (2025 Best Window Supplier for Andersen; 2025 Best Top Employer in the 101–500 employee category; 2025 Person of the Year for Tony Shepley).

Commercially, Shepley operates a sales-led, account-based wholesale model requiring all purchasers to hold a Shepley account (either charge or cash), with pricing not publicly disclosed and no transactional e-commerce for non-account holders. The go-to-market is regional by design: revenue is concentrated in Cape Cod and Nantucket, a geographically bounded market with limited off-Cape expansion. Ownership has transitioned within the past several years — first to Kodiak Building Partners and then, in 2024, to QXO following QXO's acquisition of Kodiak — placing Shepley inside a larger building products distribution platform while preserving the Shepley brand, its three Cape Cod and Islands locations, and its management under Tony Shepley.

Product overview

Shepley Wood Products is a wholesale lumber and building material supplier serving builders and building professionals on Cape Cod and Nantucket, MA.

Core offerings center on lumber, building materials, windows, doors, roofing, and siding products, supported by digital customer service tools including ShepNet (online account portal), ShepPay (payment processing), and ShepTrack (order tracking). The product portfolio features both branded products Shepley supplies (Andersen windows, Simpson doors, CertainTeed roofing, TimberTech decking, VELUX skylights) and commodity building materials (white cedar shingles, pressure treated lumber, SPF lumber, house wrap, plywood).
