Builders’ General Supply Co. continues to raise the bar for excellence, integrity, and innovation within the homebuilding industry. The company recently hosted its 41st Annual Trade Show at The Tilling House at Suneagles Golf Club in Eatontown—a gathering that embodied its long-standing commitment to family values and professional excellence.
The event welcomed over 60 premier vendors, including Weyerhaeuser Lumber, Andersen Windows, and AZEK/TimberTech, showcasing the latest advancements in building materials, design, and technology. Guests—from builders and architects to public officials like Senators Declan O’Scanlon, Vin Gopal, Assemblywomen Luanne Peterpaul and Margie Donlon as well as Monmouth County Commissioner Erik Anderson—enjoyed an evening of learning, networking, and camaraderie that truly felt like family.
Executive Vice President TJ Shaheen described the trade show as a highlight of the year, offering a space where clients, vendors, and employees come together to celebrate shared success. “It’s more than a trade show,” he explained. “It’s our way of saying thank you to the people who make this industry thrive.”
Pierre Randolph, Area Sales Manager for Andersen Windows, emphasized the strength of their partnership, noting, “Builders’ General Supply Co. is a leading supplier in Monmouth County, trusted by top builders. Their exclusive offer of Andersen wood-clad windows reflects their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.”
