Everything the commercial job calls for.
Six categories, 65+ brands, one phone call. Click through for the vendors we carry in each.
Built on relationships, not transactions.
Three things every contractor gets when they work with us.
Decades of service
Family-run since April 1989. Founded by Clay Erlandson, carried forward by Eric Erlandson, and now owned by Trevor Walton, who learned the trade under Eric's mentorship. Same values, same standards.
Optimal solutions
Deep inventory from 66 trusted vendors. And if we don't stock it, we know where to find it. One call handles what usually takes five.
Unmatched expertise
You talk to someone who's actually worked with the products. No call centers, no scripts. Just straight answers from people who know the trade.
Passed down, not sold.
Clay Erlandson founded Action Fastenings on April Fools' Day, 1989, betting a career on the idea that contractors would rather work with people they trust than shop the lowest price online. Thirty-seven years later, that bet still pays off.
Trevor Walton, mentored for years by Eric Erlandson, now owns the business, carrying forward the same commitment to service that built it.
