Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc. (PCBP) was started by Fred Anderson, who opened the doors to Anderson Lumber Company in Sacramento, California in 1953. Throughout the years, PCBP has grown exponentially, but one thing has remained the same: we are still a family-owned company with the same set of high standards implemented by Fred all those years ago.
