Our Story

Built on a handshake
and a love of the craft.

W R Deacon & Sons started as a one-truck operation out of Lexington, with a simple promise: sell honest material at a fair price, and treat every customer like a neighbor. That hasn't changed — not after three decades, not with two generations behind the counter.

Today we serve contractors, builders, and weekend warriors across the Shenandoah Valley. We carry a full line of dimensional lumber, hardwoods, engineered products, and building supplies. But what really sets us apart is the people. When you walk in here, you're not a ticket number — you're the person who's going to build something with what you buy, and we take that seriously.

Locally sourced & inspected
Competitive pricing, no surprises
