Building Materials near Fulton, NY

“I haven't shopped in-store yet, but I did call looking for some help and Josh went above and beyond to point me in the right direction. While I was on the phone with him I could hear people (customers/employees?) calling out his name as if they were looking for help as well, I'm guessing Josh is the go to guy! I hope you do everything you can to keep him happily employed with you.”

“There's something quietly remarkable about walking into a hardware store that's been serving this community since 1926. T.J. Burke Lumber Co. was founded by Timothy J. Burke, and the Oswego location sits on the very same site he purchased from the Post & Henderson Lumber Company nearly a century ago. That kind of roots-in-the-ground longevity isn't accidental — it's earned.

And you feel it the moment you walk in. The staff here are friendly, jovial, and playful in a way that makes you genuinely glad you came. They're not just stocking shelves — they know their inventory, and if you give them enough context about what you're trying to do, they'll get you exactly what you need. That's increasingly rare.

We love being able to source materials for our home from right here in the neighborhood. Prices are competitive, and they carry lumber, hardware, windows, doors, plumbing and electrical supplies, roofing, and Benjamin Moore paint — so there's rarely a reason to drive past this place on the way to a big-box store. If they don't have something in stock, they can order it from their warehouse and have it ready for pickup in a couple of days.

Supporting a local business that's been part of this city for nearly 100 years and still operates on old-school values of honest hard work and treating every customer with respect — that's not just convenient. That's the right call.”
