ABOUT US
EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE. HARD WORK. QUALITY PRODUCT.
In 1963 Lee Nash Masonry Products started out in Frankfort, KY as a company between friends, Ray Lee and Tommy Nash. In the early 70’s Ray Lee bought Nash’s end of the business, which then became LEE Masonry Products in 1975. In the 1990’s LEE Masonry Products shifted the name to LEE Brick & Block. From that point on, with the help of Ray’s 5 sons, LEE Building Products, Inc. has expanded to what it is today with +25 locations and +400 employees across Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.
