A Young Company with a Long History
in Upstate New York.

Today’s Bellevue Builders Supply was incorporated on November 1, 2009. But don’t think we are a start-up company with limited experience.

Bellevue Builders Supply traces its history back to 1936, when it was founded in the Bellevue neighborhood of Schenectady, NY by Joseph Lucarelli Sr. The Company was turned over to Joe Lucarelli Jr. in 1957 and, under his direction, in 1968 it passed the $1 million mark for annual sales. In 1973 Bellevue Builders Supply moved to its current location on Duanesburg Road in Schenectady.

The business continued to grow, even when a 1987 fire destroyed the truss plant causing almost $2 million in damages. A new truss facility was quickly built in its place. In 1993 Bellevue Builders Supply opened a new drive-thru warehouse, which set the standard in warehousing and customer service. To further expansion goals, Archer Building Supply and its six locations were purchased in 1996. By 2003 Bellevue Builders Supply's annual sales exceeded $100 million.

In May of 2004 the company was sold to Stock Building Supply and Joe Lucarelli Jr. retired from the company. The company began operating under the Stock Building Supply name.

In the summer of 2009 Stock Building Supply filed for bankruptcy protection and began liquidating select New York locations. Along with others in the company, L.T. Gibson, a former V.P. of Stock Building Supply, formulated a plan to purchase the remaining Bellevue Builders Supply locations. The resulting company—US LBM doing business as Bellevue Builders Supply—reopened on November 1st of that year with Greg Gaskell as president over four locations plus truss and stair plants.
