Porters Building Centers-Laurie

Porters Building Centers began as Kearney Lumber Company on June 7th of 1952. The company started in what was an abandoned mule barn in Kearney, Missouri by Mack and Mary Helen Porter. Mack cashed in the revenue generated from two years of teaching math, science, and coaching. Mary Helen sold her new car. The company has grown to four locations. We have one contractor and distribution yard in Elwood, KS with a rail spur and four traditional lumberyard-home centers in Kearney (headquarters), Cameron, Laurie in Missouri & Elwood in Kansas. Porters stock many fine products other than those that you would find in an Ace Hardware store. We are distributors for several major window lines. Among them Solar Blocker, Milgard & Lindsay in vinyl windows as well as Andersen & Weather Shield wood. We also feature the Valspar, Clark+Kensington and Ace Royal Paint lines. Other major brands include Stihl Power Tools, Therma-Tru Doors, Fiberon Decking, Owens Corning, and YellaWood. UHaul rentals are available in Kearney and Cameron. We purchase our lumber direct from the mills with quality as our first consideration.
