Search for building supply in Sharonville and you will find three substantial names within a few streets of each other, all with good reviews and all clearly serving trades. It looks like exactly the cluster you want when a project is starting.
Then you call one about decking and learn they do not carry it. Then the second, same answer. Then the third.
This guide sorts out what is actually in that corridor. It is a genuine and useful supply cluster, just not for the material a deck is built from, and knowing the difference saves three phone calls and a wasted drive.
Three Yards, Two Kinds of Material
The Sharonville industrial area east of the interstate holds a concentration of contractor suppliers. Three of the larger ones sit within a short distance of each other.
| Supplier | Address | Phone |
| ABC Supply Co. Inc. | 2599 Commerce Blvd, Sharonville, Ohio 45241 | (513) 975-5062 |
| ABC Supply Interiors (formerly L&W Supply) | 11906 Tramway Dr, Sharonville, Ohio 45241 | (513) 563-9999 |
| Foundation Building Materials | 11360 Enterprise Park Dr, Cincinnati, Ohio 45241 | (513) 771-3555 |
Location, Directions and Access
All three sit in the light industrial district on the eastern side of Sharonville, off the Lebanon Road and Reading Road corridor. That corridor is U.S. 42, which is the spine of this part of the north side.
- ABC Supply Co. Inc. 2599 Commerce Blvd, Sharonville, Ohio 45241.
- ABC Supply Interiors, formerly L&W Supply. 11906 Tramway Dr, Sharonville, Ohio 45241.
- Foundation Building Materials. 11360 Enterprise Park Dr, Cincinnati, Ohio 45241.
From Interstate 275
Take the U.S. 42 exit and head south. U.S. 42 runs as Lebanon Road down into Sharonville, and the industrial streets branch off it to the west as you come into the commercial district.
From Sharon Woods
The park’s main entrance sits on Lebanon Road. Head north on Lebanon Road and the same industrial district opens up on the left, with Commerce Boulevard, Tramway Drive and Enterprise Park Drive all within a short distance of one another.
- These are trade counters. Hours run early and end early. ABC Supply opens at 7:30 on weekdays and closes at 4:00, with a short Saturday morning. The other two close at 4:00 and are shut on weekends entirely.
- Call before you drive. Every one of these is set up around contractor accounts and scheduled deliveries. A call confirms whether they will sell to you directly and whether the item is even in their line.

ABC Supply: The Building Envelope
ABC Supply is the largest wholesale distributor of roofing in North America and one of the largest distributors of siding, windows and other exterior building products. It was founded in 1982 by Ken and Diane Hendricks and remains privately held.
Roughly 99 percent of the company’s sales go to professionals: builders, remodelers, roofers and other specialty contractors. That focus is deliberate, and it explains the counter experience. This is a place set up to load a roofer’s truck at seven in the morning, not to answer browsing questions at two in the afternoon.
The Sharonville branch carries the standard exterior line: roofing materials, siding, gutters and downspouts, windows and doors, plus the tools and accessories that go with them. More on the full product range is at the ABC Supply site.
ABC Supply Interiors: Drywall, Ceilings and Steel
The Tramway Drive location has been L&W Supply for most of its life. Founded in 1971, L&W became one of the nation’s largest distributors of wallboard, suspended ceiling systems, steel studs, joint treatment, insulation and fasteners. ABC Supply acquired it in 2016, and in 2026 the name changed to ABC Supply Interiors.
If you have been in the trades locally for any length of time, you will still hear it called L&W, and the signage may not have caught up everywhere. It is the same yard and the same product line.
For a homeowner this branch matters only if a project moves indoors, which happens more often than people expect when a deck door becomes a slider or a three season room gets framed in.
Foundation Building Materials
The Enterprise Park Drive location is a wholesale distributor working the same interior category: drywall, ceiling tile, framing material and related accessories. It is a supplier’s supplier more than a walk in counter, which the reviews reflect, and it serves commercial and residential contractors across the region.
Its presence in the same few streets is what makes this a genuine cluster rather than three unrelated businesses. A commercial interior contractor can source most of a job inside a square mile here.
So Where Does Decking Come From?
Not from any of these three. Treated framing lumber, joists, beams, posts, decking boards, railing and the hardware that ties it together come from a lumber yard or a big box store, not from a roofing distributor or a drywall house.
That is not a criticism of any of them. It is category specialization, and it is why the trades use different suppliers for different scopes. A roofer and a deck builder simply do not shop in the same place.
Where these yards do touch a deck project is the building envelope. Attaching a ledger board means opening up siding and flashing the connection properly. Putting a roof over a patio means roofing material, drip edge and often a gutter change. Those are exterior envelope products, and that is exactly ABC Supply’s category.
Sourcing Material for a Deck Around Sharonville
Most deck projects on this side of town end up pulling from two or three places: a lumber yard for the frame, a big box for the odds and ends, and occasionally an exterior distributor when the work touches the house itself.
Closer in, a fuller breakdown of local material options covers what the neighboring city offers for deck and patio work specifically. Further out on the east side, supply stores on the northeast corridor serve the Loveland and Symmes end of the metro.
For smaller runs and last minute items, the southeast side supply run is often simply the closest option to the job. And because these yards serve a wide radius, plenty of the material moving through them ends up on builds well north of here, where approval steps for projects further north look quite different from Hamilton County.
Platinum Deck and Patio sources from several suppliers depending on the scope, which is less about preference than about matching the yard to the material. The frame comes from a lumber supplier. Envelope work comes from an exterior distributor. Nobody buys everything in one place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do any of these three sell decking or framing lumber?
No. ABC Supply handles roofing, siding, gutters, windows and doors. ABC Supply Interiors and Foundation Building Materials handle drywall, ceilings, steel framing and insulation. Decking and framing lumber come from a lumber yard or a big box store.
Are ABC Supply and L&W Supply the same company?
Yes. ABC Supply acquired L&W Supply in November 2016 and renamed it ABC Supply Interiors in 2026. The Commerce Boulevard branch handles exterior products and the Tramway Drive branch handles interior products.
Can a homeowner buy from these suppliers?
They are set up for professional contractors, with about 99 percent of ABC Supply’s sales going to trade customers. Some will sell to homeowners and some prefer not to. Call first and describe the project.
What are the hours?
Trade hours, which means early. ABC Supply runs 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays with a short Saturday morning. The other two run 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and are closed weekends.
When would a deck project need one of these yards?
When the work touches the house envelope. Attaching a ledger means cutting and flashing siding, and adding a roof over a patio means roofing material and often gutter work. Those are ABC Supply’s categories.
Why are there so many suppliers in one small area?
The eastern side of Sharonville is a light industrial district with good highway access, which is exactly what a distribution business needs. The concentration means a contractor can source most of a commercial interior job within a very small radius.
The Bottom Line
Sharonville has a real contractor supply cluster, and it is worth knowing about. It is also, for a deck project, mostly the wrong cluster. Two of the three yards sell interior products, the third sells the building envelope, and none of them stocks a joist.
The practical next step is to sort your material list by category before you start calling. Frame and decking go on a lumber yard list. Anything touching siding, flashing, roofing or gutters goes on an exterior distributor list. Fasteners and small hardware go on a big box list.
Three lists, three phone calls, no wasted drives. It is a small piece of planning that quietly saves a whole afternoon.
