Home Depot Sues WR Builders for $74,060 Over Unpaid Materials

Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. filed a breach-of-contract complaint against WR Builders, Inc. in Massachusetts Superior Court for Norfolk County on March 2, 2026, seeking $74,060 for unpaid building materials. Cellai Law Offices, P.C. is listed as plaintiff counsel on the complaint filed in Norfolk County.

The legal summary service Law reported: “The action, brought by Cellai Law Offices on behalf of Home Depot, seeks to recover $74,060 for materials delivered between July and November.” The complaint text available in the Law excerpt specifies the delivery window as July through November but does not state the year for those deliveries.

The filings as reported do not provide a year for the July-to-November delivery period, and the complaint excerpt in the available reports is otherwise concise about the relief sought. The original legal feed included the case filing facts and the Cellai Law Offices listing but truncated a word in its snippet; Law supplied the fuller delivery wording in its summary.

Separately, industry filings show stress among smaller building-supply firms: North American Builders Supply (also styled in filings as North American Builder’s Supply, Inc.) filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois on December 3, 2025. Finance Yahoo, citing RK Consultants, reported that “North American Builders Supply reportedly filed for bankruptcy protection — a Chapter 11 filing on December 3, 2025.”

RK Consultants and Pacer Monitor list the Yorkville, Illinois-based supplier’s estimated assets and liabilities each between $500,001 and $1 million, and identify major unsecured creditors and claim amounts: Bluetape, Inc. at $503,219; Kapitus Servicing, Inc. at $149,596; and an unsecured portion from Central Bank Illinois at $94,131. Trellis Law emphasized creditor pressure and litigation as part of the Chapter 11 story, noting that “The filing appears to stem from financial distress, including claims and a lawsuit from creditor Proventure Capital LLC.” Trellis Law further reported that Proventure’s legal complaint alleged unpaid obligations by North American Builders Supply (and/or one of its officers).

The coverage that linked market context to these filings includes an observation attributed to RK Consultants: “While rising and volatile prices impact major players like Home Depot, they are better able to mitigate and predict the impact than smaller retailers.” That analysis accompanied the December Chapter 11 reporting and provides industry context but does not connect Home Depot’s Norfolk County suit to North American Builders Supply.

The records and summaries published to date present two separate matters: Home Depot’s March 2, 2026 breach-of-contract suit against WR Builders in Norfolk County seeking $74,060 for building materials delivered between July and November, and the December 3, 2025 Chapter 11 filing by North American Builders Supply in the Northern District of Illinois listing specific unsecured claims. The complaint docket and the bankruptcy petition should be consulted to confirm the delivery year, docket numbers, and whether any vendor links exist between the cases.
