White Cap

Off Tonnelle’s main drag in North Bergen, this unassuming yard doubles as a supply stop for builders tackling anything from walls to roofs. White Cap moves lumber, shingles, masonry, hardware, fasteners, drywall, and trims under the same roof, giving crews one place to pull multiple jobs. Across the street from the rail line and tucked beside freight yards, it’s easy to overlook until you need half-inch plywood or a bundle of 10d nails at the last minute.

At 1511 Tonnelle Ave, midway between the Tonnelle Plaza and the Paterson Plank corridor, you’ll find the place marked by a low-profile storefront that opens to a yard full of stacks. It’s a practical address when you’re waiting on deliveries or swapping subcontractors’ materials lists into one truck run. Dial (201) 272-3037 if you want to check stock before heading over.

Use the maps listing to plot a route from Route 495 or the Lincoln Tunnel approach; once you’re on Tonnelle the building sits on the west side, just past the traffic light at 15th Street. Here you grab what’s missing and keep the day moving.
