Founded in 1976, Douglas Lumber is one of the largest independent lumber and building material distributors in the state, serving contractors, remodelers and homeowners in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.  

“After almost 50 years as a family-owned company, we are excited about our future with BFS,” said Steve Carlino, Douglas Lumber president “My wife Joanne, son Steven Jr., and I have been very fortunate to grow a business started by my father and myself in the 1970’s along with our many dedicated employees past and present who will get to share in our continued success. I along with our existing talented management will continue to lead, grow, and learn the needs of professional contractors large and small in our region. JIAN was instrumental in this process, overseeing and managing all aspects of the transaction leading up to a successful closing.”
