Why is it so hard to find texture files from these building material companies? They have "visualizer" capabilities on their websites, so I know they have texture files. 

you would think they would be more willing to supply this information when I'm trying use it to sell their products to our customers....

Anyone else struggle with this as well?

I'm sorry to hear that your effort won't go forward either.  I would have/would still happily pay a monthly fee, and agree to terms holding you/the site harmless due to anything downloaded or used.  And, I still get it.  People are too quick to want to sue these days.
