Response to the Coronavirus
(March 2020) – In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we at Builders Surplus are continuing to adjust to the needs for safety and the health of our customers and associates.
We are open at this time, but all Builders Surplus locations in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts have adjusted store hours:
- Monday through Friday: 7:30am* – 5:30pm
- Saturday: 8am – 4pm
- Sunday: Warwick is open 10am – 4pm. All other locations are closed**
*Also note: Our Lunenburg (MA) store opens at 8am.
Our retail business is open as we supply building materials to contractors and homeowners. This is considered essential for home maintenance and repair while families are asked to stay at home. As a response to the Coronavirus, we are also implementing social distancing and CDC guidelines in the effort to keep everyone safe during this time.
It will be difficult for some, an inconvenience to all, but we hope everyone will pull together to get through this situation as best we can.
Keep the faith, stay strong, and be well.
