Many employees of Northern Building Supply came to work with experience from other building material dealers. Our reputation for treating people fairly and an extensive profit sharing plan attracted most of them. We've earned the loyalty of our customers because we stand behind our promises and treat people fairly.
Purchasing home improvement products from locally owned retailers generates more local economic activity than purchases made at big box stores. With two full-service stores in the area, we've got you covered for whatever your project demands. We've hand-selected our employees to be friendly, knowledgeable and completely committed to you and your project.
Since our doors first opened-first in 1904 as Brown Lumber and 1946 as Northern Lumber Company- we've been stubborn about quality. So whether you're a contractor breaking ground on a spec home or a determined "weekend warrior" building a new deck, we have everything you need- proven expertise, the finest materials, and our personal commitment-to help you build with a confidence and quality that will last for years to come.

I've shopped at this building supply store for decades. Generally speaking, they're very helpful to both Consumers as well as Businesses. If it's not in stock, they're able to place special orders for anything you may need. Earlier this month, I walked in (with my young daughter) to pick up a special order from Bob Nixon (very helpful gentleman). Bob was out of the office, leaving me to wonder who I should speak to next. Over the next 10 seconds, I heard a male employee voice from down the office hallway ...cursing both God's name & the Name of Jesus. As a Christian, this is absolutely unacceptable
