About Us

What Sets Do it Best LBM Apart From the Pack

Independent dealers do not need another vendor. They need a partner who understands the lumber business, knows their market, and brings real buying power to the table.

Do it Best is the world's largest member-owned hardware, lumber, and building materials cooperative: thousands of members strong, with 80 dedicated LBM experts, $3 billion in LBM buying power, and a team that averages 15 years of industry experience. When you join, you are not just a customer. You are an owner.

WHY THESE PROGRAMS MATTER

Learning and Development Built for the LBM Business

Strong teams do not happen by accident. They are trained, supported, and given the tools to grow.

Do it Best LBM learning and development programs help independent dealers build stronger departments through hands-on training, product knowledge, vendor insight, and practical sales education your team can use right away.
