Carter Lumber

Building materials store on US-223 in Adrian, part of the Carter Lumber chain. Framing lumber, plywood, sheathing, electrical, plumbing, hardware, and tools - the full supply list for contractors and DIY remodels under one roof.

Easy in-and-out off Highway 223 if you are hauling something big in a pickup, which is the real constraint when a Saturday project comes up short on 2x10s and waiting for a delivery is not an option. Delivery is available for larger orders.

Prices land in the moderate range, which tracks with the broader Carter Lumber positioning: not the cheapest tier, but priced to keep the trade business loyal. The chain network also means stock checks across other yards are doable when something local is out.

Hours are strictly weekday: 7 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, with the yard closed Saturday and Sunday. That is the catch worth planning around. If the project is going up over a weekend, supply needs to be wheeled out by Friday afternoon.

About 20 minutes from Tecumseh down US-223. More Lenawee County supply listings at mitecumseh.com.
