Carlson Building Supplies

We offer quality lumber, building materials, and hardware with expert advice. Let us help you build better. Let’s build something great together! Build Better.

Located in northern Wisconsin, we provide job-site delivery to Ashland, Bayfield, Chequamegon Bay, and Madeline Island. 130 years ago…
Scott-Taylor began their sawmill and lumber distribution in 1887, the location where Carlson Building Supplies now stands. Scott Taylor Company produced a good portion of the structural lumber for buildings for Ashland, WI around the early 1900's. What started as a sawmill and kiln and distributor has grown into what we focus on today, continuing to serve our customers and providing premium products. In 1980, local contractor Boyd Carlson saw a need for more affordable building supplies in the Ashland area, so he started Carlson Building Supplies. He really viewed it as a ministry, not just a business; he truly wanted to help people. Grandsons Ben and Josh Illick carry on that legacy by providing homeowners and contractors with premium building materials. Come visit our building supply center and lumberyard in Northern Wisconsin, where inspiration meets quality. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just starting out, we have everything you need to bring your next project to life. Build Carlson.
