Your Trusted Building Materials Supplier in Argonne, WI
Argonne Lumber & Supply was founded in 1980 by Allen Keepers, who began his journey in the lumber industry at age 18 after a family tragedy inspired him to seek affordable, high-quality building materials. Starting from a machine shed on his fathers farm, we have grown into a family-owned business with 11 buildings, a hardware store, and showroom. Our commitment to quality is evident in our contractor-grade lumber, sourced from Canada, the West, and local suppliers, and delivered daily by truck or rail. We specialize in personalized service, offering architectural design, material estimating, and weekly deliveries within a 50-mile radius. With 19 employees, many from our own family, we pride ourselves on fostering long-term relationships with contractors and DIYers.Our Rhinelander location, established in 2009, expands our reach while maintaining the same dedication to excellence. Our team includes experts like Melissa Zalabak, a kitchen designer with 20+ years of experience, and Kris, a 35-year veteran in cabinetry and countertops. We provide free estimates, competitive pricing, and a wide range of products from lumber to roofing. Our repeat customers, including second-home builders and remodelers, consistently praise our superior quality and local expertise. Over four decades, weve built a reputation for reliability, community connection, and unwavering focus on customer satisfaction.
