Rooted in the Dixieline Lumber legacy now under Builders FirstSource (NYSE: BLDR), the La Mesa Home Center on Center Drive in the Grossmont area stocks structural lumber, engineered wood, and finish materials for San Diego County contractors. Contractor-account holders source rough framing and plumbing hardware from the same supply chain that feeds contractors like John Padilla Plumbing, Sewer and Drains on La Mesa remodel jobs. The Cowling family founded Dixie Lumber & Supply Co. in San Diego in 1913, merged with Airline Lumber in 1957 to form Dixieline, and the brand now operates nine Southern California home centers under the Builders FirstSource umbrella. A dedicated door, window, and kitchen-and-bath design studio fills residential remodel specs that often pair with the panel and conduit work handled by Balboa Electric on La Mesa properties. Custom truss engineering and millwork fabrication orders ship from the company's National City distribution center, with capacity for engineered spans exceeding forty feet under California seismic framing code requirements.
