Materials in Stock and Ready to Move

A contractor cannot install a product that is sitting in a distant distribution center or waiting to enter a manufacturer’s production schedule. When materials are unavailable, projects slow down, crews lose productive time, and homeowners begin asking difficult scheduling questions.

Suburban Wholesale and Supply invests in local inventory because we understand that availability matters. Our goal is to help contractors move from signed contract to completed project without unnecessary material delays.

We stock a wide selection of exterior building products for contractors throughout Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, East Moline, and surrounding Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois communities.

Current quantities should always be confirmed before scheduling a project, but our inventory gives local contractors a strong and dependable starting point.

All 29 Gentek .046-Inch D4 Colors

One of the clearest examples of our commitment to inventory is our Gentek premium vinyl siding selection. Suburban Wholesale and Supply stocks all 29 colors of Gentek’s .046-inch D4 vinyl siding.

We made that investment because contractors should not have to limit homeowners to a few basic colors simply because their local supplier does not carry enough inventory.

A broader selection helps contractors create better exterior designs, respond to local color preferences, and confidently present premium options. It can also make it easier to obtain additional material if a project requires another carton.

We encourage contractors and homeowners to visit our Davenport showroom to compare actual siding panels. Colors can look very different on a physical panel than they do on a phone, computer monitor, or printed brochure.

Delivery Helps Keep Crews Productive

Picking up materials requires more than driving to the supply house. A crew member must leave the project, travel to the supplier, wait for the order, load and secure the material, return to the jobsite, and unload everything.

That trip consumes paid labor, fuel, vehicle capacity, and productive installation time. If the rest of the crew is waiting for those materials, the cost becomes even greater.

Suburban Wholesale and Supply offers jobsite delivery, including next-day delivery on many stocked products when availability, order timing, location, and scheduling allow.

Jobsite delivery can help contractors:

• Keep skilled installers focused on productive work
• Reduce fuel and vehicle expenses
• Avoid repeated loading and handling
• Maintain a more predictable project schedule
• Supply multiple active jobs more efficiently
• Respond quickly when a project requires additional material

Fewer Delays Mean Fewer Expensive Return Trips

A nearly completed siding project can become surprisingly expensive when the crew is short a carton, a corner post, or several pieces of trim. The contractor may need to move the team, return later, set up equipment again, and reopen a project that should have been finished.

Having commonly used products available locally gives contractors a better chance of resolving shortages quickly. A responsive delivery team can add even more value by bringing the needed material to the jobsite.

Careful estimating and complete order preparation remain essential, but strong local inventory provides an important safety net when field conditions change.

We Are Locally Owned

Suburban Wholesale and Supply is not a distant national corporation managed from another state. We are locally owned and operated in the Quad Cities.

Our leadership, employees, customers, and contractors live in the same communities. We shop at the same local businesses, attend the same schools and churches, support many of the same organizations, and work through the same Iowa and Illinois weather.

Local ownership allows us to listen closely to contractors and make decisions based on the needs of our market. Our inventory strategy, delivery service, training programs, and showroom resources were developed for the professionals we serve here.

Decisions do not have to travel through several layers of corporate management before someone can respond. Contractors can speak directly with people who know the products, understand the market, and are personally invested in the relationship.

Led by People Who Understand Contracting

Suburban Wholesale and Supply is led by Brian “JR” Girskis and Darin Wilson. Both bring extensive experience from operating a successful Quad Cities home-improvement company.

They understand what happens after the material leaves the warehouse. They have worked with homeowners, managed installations, scheduled crews, addressed service concerns, handled warranty questions, and stood behind completed projects.

This experience shaped Suburban Wholesale and Supply into a distributor that considers the contractor’s entire project—not just the products on the order.

JR and Darin understand that the wrong accessory, missing carton, or delayed delivery can affect labor, customer satisfaction, final payment, and the contractor’s next scheduled project.

Knowledgeable Staff Who Want to Help

Product knowledge matters in exterior construction. A siding system includes much more than wall panels. Contractors may need starter strip, corners, J-channel, utility trim, soffit, fascia, ventilation, flashing, house wrap, fasteners, sealants, and other compatible accessories.

Our team helps contractors think through the complete exterior package. We can assist with product comparisons, color coordination, accessory identification, availability, order preparation, and delivery planning.

We do not pretend that every project has a simple answer. When a technical question involves a specific product or field condition, we work to identify the appropriate manufacturer information and help the contractor locate the right guidance.

Our goal is to be useful before the order, during the installation, and when an unexpected question arises.

Access to a VSI Certified Trainer

President Brian “JR” Girskis is a VSI Certified Trainer who can help contractors strengthen their understanding of recognized vinyl siding installation practices.

Contractors can ask questions about panel movement, fastening, starter strip, accessories, wall preparation, flashing principles, water management, hot- and cold-weather installation, and common causes of callbacks.

General training should always be considered alongside the manufacturer’s current installation instructions, applicable building codes, relevant ASTM standards, and the actual conditions at the project.

Having a trainer available locally gives contractors access to education from someone who understands both installation practices and the business realities of completing exterior projects in the Midwest.

A Showroom Built for Contractors and Their Customers

Exterior products are easier to understand when they can be seen and compared in person. Our Davenport showroom gives contractors a place to review siding panels, colors, profiles, textures, windows, doors, and other exterior products.

Contractors can also bring homeowners to the showroom. This allows the contractor to use full-size displays and physical samples as part of the sales presentation without carrying every available product to the kitchen table.

A showroom visit can help customers:

• Compare actual Gentek siding colors
• See differences in panel profiles and textures
• Coordinate siding with windows, doors, roofing, and accents
• Understand the visual difference between basic and premium products
• Make a more confident final selection

Training That Helps Contractors Grow

Suburban Wholesale and Supply is also a contractor education and training resource. We host programs involving manufacturers, installation practices, product demonstrations, sales education, and new exterior technologies.

Training can help contractors reduce installation mistakes, strengthen their sales presentations, introduce new products, develop employees, and build more profitable projects.

When our contractors become stronger, our entire local industry becomes stronger. Better-trained professionals produce better installations, fewer callbacks, more confident homeowners, and healthier contracting businesses.

Yes, We Take the Work Seriously—and We Have Fun

Exterior construction is demanding. Contractors work through unpredictable weather, changing schedules, physical labor, customer expectations, and countless details. A supplier should make the day easier, not more frustrating.

At Suburban Wholesale and Supply, we believe professionalism and personality belong in the same building. We take orders, deliveries, product questions, and contractor deadlines seriously, but we also enjoy the people we work with.

There is room for conversation, humor, events, training lunches, product demonstrations, and the occasional friendly disagreement about the best siding color—or the best football team.

Contractors spend enough time dealing with stress. When they walk into Suburban Wholesale and Supply, we want them to feel welcome, respected, and comfortable asking questions.
