Who We Are
Hamilton Zephyr was founded by a U.S. Coast Guard veteran. We're a service-disabled veteran-owned business built around a straightforward idea: general contractors need a partner they can count on for the materials and equipment that keep a job moving, and someone who takes real responsibility for getting it right.
We negotiate directly
With manufacturers, yards, and suppliers, not through a middleman. Pricing and terms are ours to work out.
We take on the risk
We issue our own purchase orders and invoices, and carry the credit and payment risk on every order.
We see it through
From specification review to freight, delivery, and any warranty or defect issue that comes up along the way.
How We Work
A Real Role on Every Contract
General contractors working toward diversity participation goals need partners who do real work, not just add a markup and pass an order through. That distinction has a name, a Commercially Useful Function, and it's the standard we hold ourselves to on every contract.
We negotiate price and terms directly with manufacturers, yards, or distributors.
We review specifications, submittals, and takeoff quantities ourselves.
We issue our own purchase orders and invoices, and carry the financial risk directly.
We manage freight, delivery coordination, and warranty or defect resolution.
