LOCATION
The company began its operations at 3110 Broadview Road in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1922 many of the operations were moved to 4720 Brookpark Road which was also in Cleveland. The move was necessary due to the growing business, lack of space on Broadview Road and the need for a rail siding. Almost all the materials needed by the company back then were railed in from all over the country where as today they are almost all trucked in. The Broadview Road location was kept into the 1930's as an office and sales showroom. A small office was built on the Brookpark Road property in the 1920's and added on in the 1960's. Ideal Builders Supply's main headquarters remains at 4720 Brookpark Road to this day.
When Ideal moved to Brookpark Road they were on the very outskirts of population. To the south of the location was all rural farming land in Parma and other surrounding suburbs. Brookpark Road still had trolley cars operating on it back then.
As the years have gone by the area around Ideal has been completely built up residentially. With the addition of the I-480 freeway, deliveries can be made very easily and quickly to the entire northeastern part of the state. The I-176 highway known as the Parma freeway enables our trucks to reach downtown in a matter of minutes.
In 2004 Ideal added a second facility located on Medina Road (Rt 18) in Sharon Township just east of I-71. This facility was added as more building moved south of Cleveland. With a beautiful showroom, large outdoor patio display, and a small yard and warehouse it has shown to be a great asset to Ideal Builders Supply. Whether you are remodeling, building a new house or just looking to improve your backyard with an outdoor living space, our Medina facility is worth stopping in to check out.
Wherever one is building their house or new building, Ideal is easily accessible by various freeways to visit either one of our showrooms in Cleveland or Medina.
