Cedar Supply North

What Cedar Supply North does

Cedar Supply North is a family-owned specialty lumber and building materials distributor headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado. Founded in 1979 (originally as Northern Colorado Fence & Cedar Supply) and relocated to its current Highway 287 showroom in 1980, the company operates a single retail showroom and warehouse stocked with over 150,000 square feet of decking materials, 50,000+ feet of cedar fence material, and 20,000+ feet of hardwood decking. It sells fencing (cedar, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron, split rail, agricultural), decking (wood, composite, hardwood), building materials (shingles, shakes, dimensional lumber, timbers, metal roofing), siding, outdoor living products, pergolas, Belgard pavers, and interior millwork to residential homeowners, professional contractors, custom builders, property developers, and farm/ranch operators across Northern Colorado and Wyoming.

The business model is transactional hardware sales with no subscription, recurring, or software revenue components. Revenue is generated through direct point-of-sale transactions at the Fort Collins showroom, phone-based quoting, and delivery services. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with materials purchased in truckload quantities enabling pricing competitive with wholesale suppliers and big-box retailers. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, anchored by an experiential showroom with indoor and outdoor product displays, expert in-person consultation, and a curated referral network of professional installation contractors that creates a two-sided ecosystem without the company owning installation labor. Marketing relies primarily on local SEO, word-of-mouth, and showroom-driven traffic rather than digital advertising.

The company has no disclosed proprietary technology platform, software products, or AI/ML capabilities; its competitive position rests on inventory depth, supplier relationships, knowledgeable sales staff, and four decades of brand recognition in Northern Colorado. The customer base is highly distributed across individuals and small contractors, with no enterprise anchors and concentration risk assessed as low.
