White Builders Supply

Floyd Stoker White and his wife, Anna Ruth Jensen, purchased the existing Monson Lumber business on September 24, 1955 and renamed it to White Builders Supply. Whites provided supplies for individuals to build and construct their own homes, sheds, and decks for a reasonable price. Floyd was an educated man, graduating from Utah State Agricultural College (USU), and a teacher at North Cache High School, teaching Industrial Arts, or "Wood Works" Class as it is referred to today.1

In 1985, White received the Honorary Life Member award of the Mountain States Lumber and Building Materials Dealers Association. "Its Honorary Life Membership honors those retail lumber dealers who have made significant contributions to their community, their industry, and their business."2

Foundation of CVCT

Douglas "Doug" F. White was the son of Floyd and Ruth White and worked at White Builders Supply for many years in the lumber yard. After returning home from his mission with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and graduating from Utah State University with a Bachelor's, Doug saw an opportunity with rolled-edge laminated countertops. Doug purchased a post-form laminated machine and established Cache Valley Counter Tops (CVCT) in 1976 inside the lumberyard of White Builders Supply. Dough started offering countertops as part of the lumber yards' offerings.3

In 1987, Floyd passed away, and Doug inherited the business. The business was becoming more recognized by its countertops than its building supplies. At this time, White Building Supply and CVCT merged.3

In 1990, CVCT started offering Corian countertops, one of the first in Utah to do so. Because of their work and commitment, they were awarded by the International Solid Surface Fabricators Association for "Fabricator of the Year."3

Turn Of The Century

In 2003, CVCT began working on stone countertops and built the 10,000-square-foot facility on Main Street in Richmond. "One of the first things CVCT did was figure out a way to offer integrated sinks in stone countertops, a feature which had not previously been offered," states the CVCT website. "With CNC machinery, digital templating, automatic polishers, and other equipment, CVCT can offer high-end options to customers at standard price levels." In 2005, CVCT expanded to cabinet marketing with selling, and installations.3

In 2006, CVCT was welcomed by the ABC television series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to help install cabinets and countertops for the Pauni Family in Logan, Utah (Season 4, Episode 10).4

New Leadership

In 2006, Doug stepped down as CEO, and his son, Paul White, took charge.3 Paul worked in the business after his return from a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Paul graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor's in Business Management in 2000. According to the CVCT website, Paul "jokes that he learned more in one week of managing CVCT than in his entire time at USU."3 

In 2014, Paul renamed Cache Valley Counter Tops to Cache Valley Cabinets & Tops.
