Junior’s Building Materials is your Louisiana-Pacific Corporation carrier

While many know Junior’s Building Materials as a great source for an extensive line of building materials and home remodeling supplies incorporating the ACE Brand, it is also true of the company that it is one of the leading Louisiana-Pacific Corporation product carriers.

Junior’s offers inventory ranging from a complete selection of lumber, beams and pre-fab trusses to composite decking, millworks, windows and doors, siding, roofing and more. The local LP provider also carries plumbing and electrical, trim, flooring, hardware and various types of conventional, electric and pneumatic (operated by air or gas under pressure) tools.

“Junior’s is a well-respected dealer in the Chattanooga area,” said Rachel Smith with LP. “LP is very proud to partner with them to deliver quality building materials.”

The LP line of building materials is set apart from other lines in terms of quality. Smith explained that LP’s SmartSide is made with LP’s proprietary SmartGuard manufacturing process to protect against fungal decay and termites, adding the LP SmartSide is backed by a 5/50-year limited warranty, which includes five years of 100-percent coverage for materials and labor and 45 additional years of prorated coverage.

“LP SolidStart LSL installs like traditional lumber, but surpasses it in strength and consistency,” she noted. “LP’s TechShield is the original, No.1 brand of radiant barrier sheathing and can reduce monthly cooling costs by blocking up to 97 percent of the radiant heat in the panel from emitting into a home’s attic.”

Junior’s carries all three of these main LP products. Builders can learn more about LP products by visiting LPCorp.com, by visiting juniorsbuildingmaterials.com or stopping by the local carrier in Ringgold.

When asked what word best describes Junior’s business, Smith said it would have to be partnership, noting that working with Junior’s has been a true partnership and together, Junior’s and LP provide quality building materials that builders can count on for years to come.

“LP is a global leader in engineered wood products that has been meeting the needs of the building industry for over 40 years,” Smith said, adding that customers can be sure when they shop for their product with Junior’s, they are getting the very best.

Junior’s serves the entire Chattanooga area and beyond. The company has a small fleet of delivery trucks that are often able to deliver building materials to the job site on the same day. They serve both commercial and residential customers and also offer a retail friendly environment for the do-it-yourself guru.

Customers also appreciate the service and reliability of a locally owned and operated family business, according to store owner “Junior.”

“We treat our customers like family,” he said. “We hope you will visit us to find out more.”

The company is celebrating 22 years of business and began when Otto “Junior” Boehm decided to strike out on his own after working in the building industry for many years. Junior opened his first location in April of 1991 with one truck and plenty of ambition. Today, the business has 35 employees, 12 trucks and loads of success.
