About SurfaceLab
We're on a mission to make premium building materials from China accessible to American homeowners and contractors—without the complexity, risk, or guesswork.
Our Story
SurfaceLab was founded by industry veterans who saw a gap in the market: while China produces some of the world's finest building materials, accessing that quality was a challenge reserved for large developers with established supply chains.
We built SurfaceLab to change that. By combining deep factory relationships, rigorous quality control, and white-glove logistics, we make it possible for anyone—from homeowners renovating a single kitchen to contractors managing multiple projects—to source premium materials at factory-direct prices.
Our team has collectively spent decades in manufacturing, quality assurance, and international trade. We've walked hundreds of factory floors, established relationships with the best producers, and built the systems to ensure consistent quality from order to delivery.
Our Values
Quality Without Compromise
We reject the notion that sourcing from China means sacrificing quality. Our rigorous vetting process ensures every product meets or exceeds US standards.
Transparency in Everything
From factory visits to landed costs, we believe you deserve complete visibility into where your materials come from and what you're paying for.
