LaValley Building Supply

What LaValley Building Supply does

LaValley Building Supply is a privately-held, family-owned building materials retailer founded in 1962 and headquartered in Newport, New Hampshire. The company operates 14-15 retail locations across New Hampshire and Vermont — including a wholly-owned specialty paint subsidiary, Lebanon Paint & Decorating — and self-describes as the largest family-owned home center in the NH/VT region. It serves two primary customer segments: individual homeowners undertaking renovation or construction projects, and professional contractors and builders requiring supply, credit, and job-site delivery.

The company's revenue is generated through retail sale of a broad building materials and home improvement catalog — lumber, building products, decking, roofing, siding, windows and doors, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, masonry, electrical and plumbing, hardware and fasteners, power and hand tools, paint, seasonal items, wood pellets, and earthwork and drainage products — sourced from 30+ national brand partners including Weyerhaeuser, Trex, Andersen, Marvin, James Hardie, Benjamin Moore, Kohler, Moen, Milwaukee, Dewalt, Generac, and Rheem. In addition to resale merchandise, LaValley manufactures a proprietary line of prefabricated sheds (12+ models including She Shed, Columbia, Danube, Nile, Seine, and Sun Shed) and garage packages (10 models including Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg, Edsel, Graham Paige, Hudson, Studebaker, Packard, Nash, and Mustang), with prices ranging from approximately $8,250 to $46,258.

Commercially, LaValley monetizes through in-store purchases, will-call pickup, and delivery (free on orders over $100 plus job-site delivery via crane service), contractor and consumer credit programs, professional services (color matching, glass cutting, key cutting and re-keying, design, installations, material take-offs), and a recently introduced Fast Framing LMBS prefabrication service. Distribution is supported by specialty formats such as a drive-thru lumberyard at Claremont, while marketing runs through the Project Solutions Blog, an E-Member monthly email newsletter, and Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn channels. In 2020, the company responded to COVID-19 by implementing contactless will-call and zero-contact job-site delivery, and more recently entered a strategic partnership with Preferred Building Systems to offer the SOLO Series of small energy-efficient modular homes.
