Foland Lumber has been a cornerstone of Binghamton since 1961, when it was first opened by Bill Foland with a simple mission: provide quality building materials with honest, reliable service. What started as a small, family-run lumber supply has grown into a trusted one stop shop for contractors, DIYers, and homeowners alike!

We are proud to be helping build homes, businesses and dreams for over 50 years!

In 1981, the business changed hands to Mark Whiting, who carried on the Foland tradition of hard work and hometown values. Then in 2018, Brenda and Jon Lehtonen proudly stepped in as the new owners. They bring a fresh perspective while preserving everything customers have come to love about Foland Lumber.

When Brenda and Jon renovated the building, they uncovered a long-forgotten piece of history—the original Foland Lumber sign. It’s a reminder of our roots and a symbol of how far we’ve come.
