About Us - Our History

Building 9 is open to the public and welcomes homeowners, remodeling contractors, flippers, and everybody in between!

Our core products consist of kitchen and bath cabinets, new construction and replacement windows, glass block windows, interior/exterior doors, moldings, vinyl flooring, and a wide range of other flooring products including laminate flooring, porcelain floor tile, and carpet squares.

Our closeouts and special liquidation deals consist of various building materials where we make one-time purchases of manufacturer overruns or discontinued items such as name brand bath accessories, lighting fixtures, cabinet hardware, sinks & faucets, and composite decking.
These deals offer an even GREATER BARGAIN and TREMENDOUS VALUE when compared to any other retailer.

Building 9 started in business back in 1983 as South Main Supply, in a large 60,000 square foot, industrial warehouse near downtown Akron, Ohio.
A retail supplier of surplus and salvage building materials; our inventory consisted mostly of exterior home improvement products such as plywood, siding, roofing, doors, and windows.

We offered savings and value on Aristokraft  and Schrock brand cabinets by Master Brand, as well as Pella windows.
