Home Building Materials, Inc. was founded in 1954 by the Covington family of Sulphur, LA. Twenty-two years later in 1976, Jack Coates purchased the business and ran it successfully into the 21st century. From the days our doors first opened until now, our focus has remained on building long-term relationships with customers by doing everything in our power to serve them well.
By remaining a smaller, regional operation, we are able to keep our relationships strong and our operations flexible. Jack's son, Jeff Coates, became a member of the family business in 1980. For the next 30 years the father-and-son team successfully expanded our inventory and customer base until Jack's retirement in 2009.

Much better lumber than the big box stores and at comparable prices if not cheaper! No mold. No twisted, crooked, warped boards. When you go around the back to pick up your lumber, all you have to do is tell the guys “I’d like some y’all would use.” The folks upfront are friendly and helpful. They’ll leave you alone if you walk in knowing what you need and go get it, but if They see you having the slightest bit of trouble trying to find something, they’re all over you trying to help. I’d drive from Singer any day to do business with this company.
