Our History and Evolution

Better Living Building Supply is a name that has been synonymous with quality, reliability, and commitment to our customers for over 125 years. Our story began in 1893 when L.W. Graves founded Charlottesville Lumber, a small lumber yard serving the local community. Over time, our company has evolved to meet the changing needs of our customers, and today we are proud to be one of the largest and most respected building supply companies in Central Virginia.
