Our Story

Built on a handshake, sustained by hard work

Griggs Charles Building Materials has been a cornerstone of Ripley's commercial corridor since 1957. What started as a modest lumber yard has grown into the area's most trusted source for construction materials — but the philosophy hasn't changed.

We believe that the right material at the right price changes everything about a project. That's why we keep our shelves stocked with products that professionals reach for, and our prices fair enough that homeowners feel confident walking in.

Our team knows this community. We know what the local building codes require, what the soil demands, and which materials stand up to Tennessee weather. That experience is something you can't order online — and it's the reason builders keep coming back.

Locally Owned

Expert Advice

Real builders helping real projects

How We Help

More than a supply house — a project partner

We don't just ring up orders. We help you figure out what you actually need, so you don't overbuy or show up short.

Custom Cuts

Lumber cut to your exact dimensions so it fits right the first time — no extra trips, no wasted material.

Delivery Available

We deliver to job sites across Ripley and surrounding counties — because your materials shouldn't require a tow truck.

Project Consultation

Not sure what you need? Bring us your plans — or just describe the project. We'll give you a straightforward list.

Code Compliance

We stock materials that meet Tennessee building codes — so your inspections go smoother and your build stays legal.

We've been buying our framing lumber from Griggs Charles for over twenty years. They treat every customer like they're building their own house — and that's why we keep coming back.
