The Tree Court Story
Our tradition of exceptional customer service began in 1992 when Clifford L. Goetz first opened the doors of Tree Court Builder’s Supply. Back then we were more focused on builders, professional remodelers and custom homebuilders.
Virtually starting from scratch, we have grown our customer base to over 1,000 clients today. Added to the professional remodelers and custom home builders who helped build our business, we’re proud to have a number of area commercial builders as regular customers.
Our professional contracting clients believe that getting all the details right is the key to satisfying their customers. Contractors send their clients over to our showroom facility. This is due, in part, to our broad spectrum of products and the showcase environment that we provide. But there’s more to the Tree Court brand experience than products. We have a knowledgeable staff that can help you design and produce the perfect solution for commercial spaces as well as remodeled and new home construction. We maintain a large inventory and our shop can custom build anything that we can’t find commercially. We understand how important it is to you to receive your delivery on time, as ordered.
Visit us at our Kirkwood showroom and production facility at 3636 Tree Court Industrial Boulevard or call one of our sales people. We’d be happy to help you or your clients meet and exceed your design and timing expectations.
