A Golden Tradition

Almost 70 Years Supporting Northern California Construction

At Golden State, we understand the best way to earn your business is by offering commercial and residential building materials to meet job site needs.

With top brands and employees trained on the latest best practices and building trends, Golden State provides an unrivaled depth of experience to assist local builders, architects, and contractors whoā€™ve relied on us since 1954.

Golden State is a third-generation, family-owned business founded by Glen Nobmann as San Marin Lumber in San Rafael. His son, Lee, later renamed and expanded the business by opening more locations throughout the Bay Area. Leeā€™s daughter, current Golden State CEO Jessica Scerri, continues building on the companyā€™s commitment to convenience, expanding product lines and outstanding customer service.

"Because we have long-tenured employees, not only do they establish relationships with our customers, but their expertise increases over the years for the products and how the building gets done. They can offer a level of service that big-box stores cannot."
