ARS Building Supply was founded by Jim Wakeland and his family in 1972. Over the years, they worked hard to build relationships and meet customer needs, all the while resisting the “big box” and “national conglomerate” philosophies that were taking over building materials distribution.  With the Wakeland family, nothing has ever made them happier than seeing customer needs be met full, on time, and without surprises.

One of the longest term business relationships that ARS has enjoyed over the years has been with Isaiah Industries, Inc., of Piqua, Ohio. Isaiah Industries is a leading manufacturer of specialty residential metal roofing as well as high performance roofing underlayments and other materials. Isaiah and ARS have worked together since 1981, meeting the metal roofing needs of customers in the south central United States.

In May 2017, Isaiah Industries acquired the assets of ARS, renaming the business as ARS Metal Supply. Isaiah is continuing the legacy that has been built by the Wakeland family as we grow the distribution center with additional products and services.
