Your Receiving Warehouse for Louisville and Southern Indiana
Vendor orders for a house in the Highlands or in Prospect come off the truck at our Louisville receiving warehouse and wait until our crew carries them in.
What a receiving warehouse does for a Louisville project
A receiving warehouse signs for freight on your behalf, so a vendor’s truck meets a loading dock instead of a locked house. In Louisville, orders arrive at National Turnpike, are photographed in their packaging and checked against the list you sent us, then wait in climate-controlled storage until one delivery brings them to the room.

How receiving works in Louisville
Receive
Give each vendor 7625 National Turnpike #190, Louisville, KY 40214 and your project name. Carriers book by appointment, Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm, and you send us your list and the bill of lading.
Inspect, Photograph, and Document
Outer wrap is condition-checked against your list as it lands; if it looks damaged we tell you first, and a full inspection happens whenever you ask. Each shipment is photographed and logged in Bond, so your login shows what has reached Louisville before you promise a date.
Store
Pieces sit in climate-controlled space, grouped by project, while a Crescent Hill kitchen is finished or a new build in Norton Commons waits on its final punch list.
Deliver and install
On the date you set, our own crew loads the whole order, texts the client about 30 minutes ahead, protects the route in, and assembles and places each piece. Derby week and Thunder Over Louisville, when streets near Churchill Downs and the waterfront close, are planned around.
