Our MISSION
Stine helps customers, associates, and families build their dreams.

The Stine Home Improvement story begins in 1946 when high school best friends J.W. Stine and J.C. Carlin returned to their Sulphur homes from World War II as decorated combat pilots.  They quickly bought land and began building homes as the newly formed Starlin Construction Company.  After six successful years in the Construction business they amicably parted ways and J.W. went into the retail Lumber business.

J.W.’s strong Faith in God helped anchor his value system to treat his associates, customers and community with a servant leader attitude. His humility earned the customers respect, and his gratitude, their loyalty.   Despite competition being tough in the 1950’s his business continued to grow….and it was a good thing. At home, he and his wife Dee Dee, had seven children by the end of the decade. The unity of Family led by Faith were foundational to the company as it entered the next decade.
