ProSource® is the Best Tool for the Trade and Has the Right Tools for the Job


Trims, Moldings & Other Finishers

They're the finishing pieces for virtually every project. Trims and moldings add a decorative touch in addition to serving as a practical means of hiding gaps and unfinished edges, turning corners and making transitions between materials.

ProSource carries the widest variety of finishing products. Jollys, naplocks, flat metals, stair nosing, cove base, baseboards, t-molding, reducers, quarter round, base shoe and z-bars are some of our top selling products! We feature a broad range of trims and moldings made from wood, metal, plastic, rubber and vinyl for any application. This includes cove base, baseboards, thresholds, t-molding, reducers, stair nosing, quarter round, base shoe, and so much more.
 



Underlayment

Almost every type of flooring requires underlayment. Backer boards and uncoupling membranes for tile, plywood for vinyl tile and sheet goods, asphalt paper for hardwood, and cushion for floating floors are all necessities for flooring projects. Whether it’s for reducing sound, protecting from moisture, or simply making a subfloor structurally sound, underlayments are major part of almost every project. 

As your one-stop source for all your project installation needs, we offer a selection of underlayment, including cement backer boards and flexible mats, smooth-finished plywood and OSB (oriented strand board), self-leveling and spreadable underlayment for evening out cracked/uneven older concrete subfloors, hardwood moisture barriers, and plastic sheets for use under floating vinyl planks and tile.



Grout and Caulk

Grout has always been a necessity in tile installations. You simply must have it to complete the project. ProSource carries every type of grout- sanded, unsanded, acrylic, urethane, and epoxy. We sell stain resistant grouts and sealers for the grouts that are susceptible to staining. ProSource even sells the products that help keep grout clean. 
Grouts come in hundreds of colors and shades. They even have sparkly grouts for glass installation. Whatever it is you need for your project, ProSource has it! 
And while you’re grouting, don’t forget the matching caulk. Silicones, latexes, even epoxys- You can get them all from ProSource.



Adhesive and Tapes

From joining hardwood planks to sealing carpet seams and edges, get a secure, lasting bond with an assortment of pro-grade adhesives and glues for every type of installation, including adhering floor coverings and accessories to floors, walls and substrates.

ProSource has a wide range of adhesives, including hardwood adhesives, multi-purpose adhesives, releasable adhesives, resilient adhesives, carpet pad adhesives, tile mastic, cove base adhesives, spray adhesives, contact cement, tack strip adhesives, construction adhesives and more.  

Do you need seam tape? What about duct tape, painters’ tape or double sided tape? Perhaps you’re in the market for glue sticks. ProSource is your source for all of these products. 
 



Thinsets and Mortars

Regardless of what you call them, there are many different kinds of mortars- modified, unmodified, uncoupling membrane mortar, large format tile (LFT), mudbed, dryset, and the list goes on. ProSource carries all of these, in both white and gray. 



Fasteners

Having the right fasteners on hand is really important to completing a successful project. Driving around from supplier to supplier to pick up the little things can be aggravating, as well as costly. ProSource has you covered!

Whether you’re nailing down hardwood, stretching in carpet, screwing down cement backer boards, or stapling carpet cushion, you’ll find all the fasteners you need at ProSource. Nails, screws, bolts, nuts, washers, tacks, staples, tack strip, brads, aluminum anchors and even needle and thread- these are major parts of our offering.
 



Patches & Levelers

One of the first things trade pros learn about construction is that walls are seldom plumb, rooms are seldom square, and floors are seldom level or smooth. While some projects may be completed successfully using walls that are not plumb or square, almost all flooring installations require smooth and level floors! ProSource is your one stop shop for self leveling and spreadable patches. Cementitious powder mixes and primers, as well as the tools needed to apply them, are all a part of what we offer. Buckets, trowels, sponges, gloves, mixing paddles and drills are everyday sellers at ProSource.

Floors, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, etc. all need to be cleaned, maintained and protected for years to come. Because of this, ProSource has partnered with some the biggest and best manufacturers to provide these products for our trade pros and end users. Cleaners, sealers, polishes, furniture leg coasters, and rolled cardboard floor protectors are huge sellers for ProSource, and a great way for the trade pro to show the customer that he/she cares about the project.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)  

Safety First! This is probably the most common sign you’ll see on a construction site. There is a good reason for it too - Trade pros have dangerous jobs! To complete many projects, you’ll be required to run dangerous loud power tools. You’ll need to be up on ladders and scaffolding, or down in holes and trenches. You’ll be breathing in dust and fumes and using harmful chemicals. Falling objects, projectiles, tripping hazards, screws, and nails on the floor. ProSource can help you with all of these issues. We have hard hats, ear plugs, safety glasses, knee pads, harnesses, gloves, caution tape, dust masks, respirators, and first aid kits. We provide them all.

Specialty Products and Miscellaneous  

Obviously, there are many products that do not fit into the categories listed above. Waterproofing, shower systems, floor warming, leveling clips, etc. Don’t worry these are some of our best sellers. 

Unlike big box stores and other places, ProSource is not limited to only a few brands. Unless a product is exclusive (made only for a certain retailer or wholesaler), we can get it for you! Just ask your local ProSource account manager (sales rep). They’ll make sure you have everything you need to complete your project- on time and efficiently!
