Established in 1985 by El Paso native George D. Thomas; Franklin Building Materials is one of the longest active lumberyard in El Paso, Texas. George made the dream of home ownership a reality for thousands of families. He was a generous man who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who wanted to learn about home building. He had a passion and desire to share his knowledge and passion with others. With his extraordinary talent and spirit, he made a lasting contribution to the El Paso community.

Integrity and honesty were the cornerstones of his business, so he set the highest standards. George is no longer with us today, however his commitment was the foundation upon which Franklin Building Materials was built and that commitment to the highest values guides us to this day.

Still family owned and operated, Franklin Building Materials thanks their loyal customer base for helping them continue to be successful.
