September Update (9/16/2020): As we continue to monitor the ongoing response to COVID-19, L&W Supply is committed to serving all of our customers in the safest possible manner by maintaining a safe social distance while conducting business.
L&W Supply currently adheres to the latest version of the official recommendations from the CDC, which can be viewed here: Considerations for Wearing Masks.

While our branches may be operating slightly differently, our commitment to safety remains the same. We greatly appreciate our customers for hanging in there with us during this time.
As we continue to monitor the ongoing impact of COVID-19 across the United States, our top priority remains the health and safety of our customers, vendors, and associates.

How will delivery services be affected by COVID-19?
Delivery services will continue as normal in most parts of the country. If you live in a jurisdiction where this is not possible, we will communicate locally on how our team will proceed. Please note that we are also requiring our employees to practice social distancing on jobsites as well.
How has our industry been impacted by COVID-19?
As a supplier of essential materials to the construction industry, building materials distributors like L&W have been classified as an “essential business” in many states due to their importance in maintaining infrastructure. Therefore, as long as our customers are continuing to work, we want to be able to provide the support they need while taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe. If you would like more information regarding whether construction is considered essential in your city, county or state, Construct Connect provides an interactive map with useful information. If you have additional questions regarding whether construction activities are permitted in your market, we recommend that you review the order(s) applicable to your market and/or consult with your attorney.
Our Associates
What steps is L&W Supply taking to keep their associates safe?
We are committed to providing the safest possible environment for our associates during this time. As of now, showrooms are closed to the public, we have instructed our associates to limit contact and practice social distancing. We ask that anybody who comes in contact with our associates do the same. If you are feeling sick, please stay home.
What further steps can I take to help ensure the safety of me and my team?
We would encourage you to continue visiting the CDC and the World Health Organization for further updates and guidelines, along with other resources specific to the building materials and construction industry.
