Who is the one salesman I would be dealing with?
Spectrum Building Products puts its founder on your account. Jared Jarnagin, a U.S. military veteran who started the company in 2016, pulls the take-offs, negotiates the vendor pricing and shows up on the job site.
There is no handoff. When you call, you reach the man who read your plans and who will be standing on your lot when the materials arrive. He already knows the house.
That matters most on the hard days. A load shows up with the wrong windows. The framer wants longer joists than the plans called for. A sub needs to know if the siding is on this truck or the next one. Each of those is one call, to someone who can answer without digging through another person's notes.
Where he works
Jared is based in Talbott and covers the primary East Tennessee service area, from job sites around Knoxville to cabin lots in Sevier County. In that area he is present when deliveries land. Office hours run Monday through Friday, and the number is (423) 736-0765.
What do I stop doing once everything runs through one supplier?
Spectrum Building Products takes over the vendor relationships, the ordering and the reconciliation. You stop chasing reps for answers and stop matching a stack of invoices from different suppliers against one job.
Think about a normal week on a build. The lumber rep has not called back. The window order needs a confirmation. The roofing supplier billed for something that never came. A builder can spend more time on the phone with suppliers than on the job site, and each of those five to ten vendors has its own rep, its own pricing and its own invoice.
Here is what comes off your plate:
- Calling around to find out where an order stands
- Placing separate orders with separate suppliers
- Keeping track of which rep quoted which price
- Checking each vendor's invoice against what was delivered
- Sorting out the paperwork when a wrong item goes back
The work still gets done. Someone else does it, and he is the same person who built your material list. If you are weighing the trade-offs, read our article on one supplier versus many on a custom home.
