4 Generations and Growing
Established in 1938
Bruce Bauer opened his company in Medford, Oregon in 1938 and after doing some building in the san mateo county area in 1946, he saw the need for a lumber yard and opened his second store in san Carlos, CA. Originally opened as a contractor yard, over the years we developed into a do-it-yourself home center with strong emphasis on practical advice to home owners as a part of our value added service and quality merchandise. Don Thom bought the lumber yard from his father-in-law, Bruce Bauer in 1966. In 1971, he bought out Bickell Brothers Lumber at San Antonio Circle, Mountain View. A family owned buisness, Don Thom had two of his sons, David and Darryl, working with him. They had to learn from the bottom up and became familiar with all phases of building including home construction. We then expanded our inventory to include basic plumbing and electrical supplies, to round up our home improvement materials and services inventory. We also have a senior citizen discount program.
We offer discounts to senior citizens and contractors.
