Scarborough Building Supply: The Lumber Yard in Town
Scarborough Building Supply is the yard. It's at 12990 Highway 9, and it's the reason a deck repair or a fence rebuild in Boulder Creek doesn't automatically start with a drive to Scotts Valley.
What it carries
This is the building-materials half of Scarborough's two Boulder Creek stores. Lumber, building supplies, paint, tools, and hardware, aimed at contractors and at homeowners working through the standing list every mountain house keeps. The company runs lumber yards in Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, and Scotts Valley, and it offers delivery.
Two services matter more up here than the catalog suggests. The yard fills portable propane tanks, which is a real errand saved. It can't fill tanks that are attached to or sitting on a vehicle. And Scarborough is an authorized STIHL dealer with warranty repair, listing Boulder Creek among its dealer locations, which covers the chainsaw that stops running two days into storm cleanup.
The chain also does paint matching with Benjamin Moore and Cabot, including sample sizes, and cuts automotive and house keys. It won't duplicate a key stamped DO NOT DUPLICATE.
Services vary by location, and Scarborough runs two stores in town, so call the number below to confirm which counter handles what.
