Read MoreCMI Tariff Calculation Update & Information
Dear Valued Customer, It has come to our attention that a number of our nail competitors may be utilizing an incorrect calculation for steel nail tariff costs. They are attempting to segregate and apply the tariff only to the steel portion of the finished product, excluding costs associated with manufacturing the nails, galvanizing, labor, packaging, and profit. Some may even be using just the cost of the steel coil (FOB their supplier) as their basis of calculation, this is also incorrect. Our Customs legal counsel has consulted with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Enforcement, who have clearly stated that these methods are inaccurate. Key Compliance […]
Read MoreWhen “In Stock” Isn’t Enough: The Real Value of Consistency in Material Supply

At Continental Materials, we’ve built our reputation on reliability — not just in the quality of our products but in the dependability of our supply chain. When a contractor places an order, they’re […]

Read MoreFrom Blueprint to Build: How Material Quality Affects the Entire Construction Timeline
Every builder knows that no matter how strong the schedule looks on paper, one weak link in the supply chain can bring the entire project to a halt. It might be a shipment delay, a product failure, or a miscommunication between the architect and the installer. In most cases, these issues all trace back to the same root cause — inconsistent material quality. At Continental Materials, we’ve seen how small choices early in the planning stage shape everything that follows. The difference between a smooth, on-time build and a job plagued with delays often comes down to product selection and supplier […]
