About Us

Since our first Busy Beaver lumberyards opened in Verona, Clariton, and Carnegie, PA back in 1962, a lot has changed. Inventory is just one of them. Our first home improvement center opened in suburban Pittsburgh in 1975, and we’ve been offering our customers an assortment of products that’s just right for all of their DIY and home maintenance needs ever since.

A culture of caring for our communities

Busy Beaver is uniquely local. We’re focused on providing you with a level of service that’s only possible when employees deeply care about the communities they serve. Our employees are familiar with the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the local homes, landscapes, weather-related needs and more. And they can’t wait to help you navigate your next DIY project, whether it’s fixing a leaky pipe or embarking on a full-scale kitchen renovation.

When you care this much about the community, it goes beyond four walls.

Sure, Busy Beaver wants to improve our neighborhoods one DIY home improvement project at a time, but our dedication goes beyond that. We also support our communities through local groups who exist to make life better for local residents. Organizations like the Make a Wish Foundation, the Pittsburgh Zoo, Boys and Girls Clubs, local baseball teams, and more.
