Relationships.
We know our customers.
From the beginning, Kenroc has understood the importance of knowing our customers, building relationships and understanding their needs better than anyone else in the industry. We've gone through the peaks and valleys of the economy with our customers for over 50 years and we still understand our customers' needs today.
We understand that our customers may have different needs. That need may be having accurate invoicing, or being able to buy the best products for the job. Or that need may be having your material delivered on time. Or just maybe, that need is having someone answer the phone on Monday morning so you can place an order. We've continued to be successful because of our daily hard work to meet those needs.
And our customers know us.
Our focus has remained on providing superior service to the wall and ceiling trade. The breadth of product selection has grown over the years as drywall contractors expanded their scope and in 2007, we added residential roofing products to our mix. We know that there are other choices with competitors who offer similar products and services. We also know that we stand apart from them in large part because of the level of care you will receive when you visit a Kenroc location. We've been around longer than our competitors because we outperform them to meet your needs.
Times will change, but our commitment to our customers never will.
back to topOur personalized approach to our customers is backed by a powerful infrastructure.
From our humble beginnings, Kenroc is now a market leader with 300 employees across 14 Western Canadian locations.
We are part of a family of companies with strong resources and significant buying power to meet both product and pricing demand.
To complement and support the Kenroc branches, Ken Sexton created Builders Choice Ltd. in 1986 to buy specialized drywall tools in volume. And our own Sexton Transport supports both companies and ensures products get to the branches quickly. As we've grown over the years, so have our relationships with our key suppliers. For over 50 years we've been building strong preferred relationships with product suppliers to add security to your supply chain.
back to topHistory.
Ken Sexton had the vision to create a company that could deliver drywall undamaged, on time and placed where the customer wanted. Kenroc has gone through the peaks and valleys of the economy with our customers for over 50 years and we still understand our customers' needs today. We understand that times change and so do your needs.
Our humble beginnings were the foundation of who we are today.
Ken looked to offer superior service in the drywall industry that competitors couldn't match and we continue to outperform our competitors to meet your needs. We know your time is valuable and our knowledgeable staff work quickly to get you back to your job. Ken was also proud of what the people in this company accomplished because he knew that without their creativity, perseverance and endless hard work, Kenroc would not have made it through the years.
Today Kenroc is a market leader with 14 locations across Western Canada. Our success comes from being the best for our customers every day.
