Your Local Source for Building Materials
Baker-Miller Lumber has been a fixture of the Finger Lakes region for more than 150 years. We’re locally owned, independently operated, and deeply invested in the communities we serve—from Groton and Ithaca to Cortland, Auburn, and the surrounding counties. Our roots here run deep, and so does our commitment to getting you the right materials at the right price.
Don’t let our size fool you. Through our membership in LMC—Lumbermens Merchandising Corporation, one of the nation’s largest lumber and building materials buying cooperatives—we bring billions of dollars in collective purchasing power to every order we fill. That means we can price-compete with the big-box stores while still delivering the personalized service and product knowledge that the national chains simply can’t match.
Whether you’re a contractor managing multiple active job sites, a builder pricing out a new residential development, or a homeowner taking on a major renovation, we give you access to a full range of quality building materials—and a team of experts who can help you use them well.

The Experience You Expect From a Building Partner
Our staff brings more than 200 combined years of experience to every customer project. Many of our team members have spent decades at Baker-Miller, building the kind of deep product knowledge and supplier relationships that only come with time. When you call in a complex order or walk in with a set of plans, you’re talking to people who have seen it before, solved it before, and know exactly how to help.
We keep an extensive inventory of the essentials you reach for every day: dimensional lumber, plywood, engineered lumber, drywall, roofing, siding, fasteners, paint, electrical supplies, plumbing, and specialty hardware. When your project calls for something beyond what’s on the shelf, we’ve cultivated relationships with dozens of vendors and suppliers, so virtually any product is at our fingertips. If we don’t have it, we’ll get it, so you can get to work.
