Western Building Center Whitefish
Western Building Center Whitefish has been a cornerstone of the Flathead Valley building community since 1975. As one of the largest stores in the WBC network, the Whitefish location offers an expansive selection of lumber, building materials, and landscaping supplies for projects of every scale.
The store operates two boom trucks and a crane service, making it the go-to choice for contractors working on timber frame and log construction in the Whitefish and Glacier Park corridor. In-house electrical, plumbing, and interior design departments mean you can handle every aspect of your build or remodel under one roof.
Whitefish also carries one of the most extensive landscaping material selections in the region, from decorative rock and retaining wall systems to bulk soil and mulch. And here is something most shoppers appreciate — the majority of items at the Whitefish store are NOT subject to the 3% resort tax, keeping your project costs lower than you might expect.

Inside Our Whitefish Store
What Our Customers Say
We had a home built in 2014 and used WBC as our building material supplier. This year we are adding a cable railing system to our porch. It took 3 months to get our order. When we finally got the order, WBC had ordered the wrong mounts and the wrong size wire spools, so they reordered them. When we went to put everything together we discovered they had also ordered the wrong posts. They had ordered posts meant for the balcony of a commercial building and were too long. WBC would not exchange them for the right posts. We spent thousands of dollars at WBC when we had our house built. This railing system was $2000. It is outrageous that they would not make an exchange for an order that they messed up multiple times. We try to support our local businesses instead of buying from big box chain stores. If this is the level of service WBC provides its customers, I understand why people would shop elsewhere. That's what we will do in the future.
We worked with Sarah at WBC to order our Crystal cabinets. We were amazed at how great our cabinets came out as well the quality! We are not easy to please.. but can't say enough about WBC-Sarah and the installer Aaron's professionalism, customer service and attention to detail that left us in awe! We considered 3 cabinet companies and we are glad we chose WBC-Crystal cabinets. Thank you WBC-Sarah and Aaron! Mark & Denise Stankiewicz
Great selection of hardware, tools, and their lumber is better quality than box stores. The staff is always willing to help and great at knowing what they're talking about, or at least getting you to someone who does. I get why local contractors come to these guys. Prices are middle of the road in terms of most things you'd buy here. Not a lot of cheaply made goods found here.
We had a home built in 2015/2016, and used WBC for many aspects of the build. We were so pleased with the great service! Sara helped with our cabinets, and she was amazing. She worked hard to design our beautiful kitchen layout, and got us just what we wanted within our budget. We're so lucky to have WBC right here in town!
Very helpful and everything you need all in one place, and if it’s lumber you’re after just ask for Josh J. He’s an expert on anything and everything wood and will have you loaded up and ready to go very quickly as he is very experienced with a forklift so definitely ask for Josh when visiting WBC in Whitefish
Josh at the contractor desk was a huge help today, as was Colin when needing to find random materials in the store. Western whitefish staff are easy to work with and always willing help with tremendous knowledge across all trades. Thanks!
