Before You Build
Good Questions, Cher
We've been answering these for over 140 years. Ask away.
What type of company is Frost Lumber Co Inc?
Frost Lumber Co Inc is a family-owned lumber and building supply company located in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
We carry a full range of structural, exterior, and interior building materials serving homeowners,
contractors, and builders across South Louisiana.
How long has Frost Lumber Co Inc been serving the area?
Since 1882. That's over 140 years of continuous operation right here in Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish.
Five generations of the Frost family have kept the doors open, the shelves stocked, and the community served.
Who typically shops at Frost Lumber Co Inc?
We serve a wide range of customers - licensed contractors and commercial builders, homeowners tackling
weekend projects, people doing storm repairs, and everyone in between.
If you build, fix, or maintain anything in South Louisiana, you'll find what you need here.
What makes your customer service different from big box stores?
When you walk in here, you're talking to people who know lumber, know Louisiana, and know you by name after a couple of visits.
We don't have automated kiosks or an 800 number. We have real people with real experience who can help you figure out exactly what your project needs.
Do you help customers choose the right materials for their projects?
That's a big part of what we do. Bring your plans, your dimensions, your photos, or just your description - and we'll help you figure out what you need and how much of it to get.
We've been answering those questions for a long time.
Can Frost Lumber Co Inc support both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We supply materials for everything from single-family home repairs to large commercial and contractor builds.
Our inventory is deep enough to support projects of all sizes, and we're experienced in both.
Why do local contractors choose Frost Lumber Co Inc?
Reliability, inventory depth, and people who actually know the product.
Contractors come back to us because we're consistent, we're local, and we've been here long enough that our word means something. No surprises, no runaround.
Do you stay up to date with current building trends and materials?
We do. While our roots go back to 1882, our inventory reflects what's being built today.
We stay current on materials, building codes relevant to Louisiana, and products that perform in our climate.
What can new customers expect on their first visit?
A real welcome. You'll walk into a full-scale lumber and building supply operation - a full city block of inventory - and you'll find someone ready to help you right away.
We're located at 511 W 7th St in Thibodaux, and we're open Monday through Friday starting at 6:30 in the morning and 7am - noon on Saturday. Sunday we rest.
How does Frost Lumber Co Inc build long-term customer relationships?
By showing up the same way every time.
We know our customers, we remember their projects, and we're here when they need us.
That's how you stay in business for five generations.
Do you carry materials suitable for Louisiana weather conditions?
Absolutely. South Louisiana's heat, humidity, and storm exposure require materials that can hold up.
We stock with that in mind - and our team can point you toward products that are proven performers in this climate.
Can homeowners get advice even if they are new to construction projects?
Of course. You don't have to know what you're doing to walk in here.
Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and we'll help you figure out the rest.
That's how it's always worked.
Do you stock materials for repairs as well as new builds?
Yes. We carry materials for everything from major new construction to small repairs and maintenance jobs.
Whatever brought you in, we've likely got what you need. If not, we'll gladly order it for you.
How do you ensure consistent product quality?
We've been in this business long enough to know which products hold up and which don't.
Our buying decisions are based on performance, not just price, and our team stands behind what we stock.
Can you cut keys?
Yes - and we do it the old fashioned way, on a human-operated machine. No self-service kiosk, no guessing.
