Company Overview

Sneade’s Ace Home Center, Inc. is an independently owned retail-lumber business. Sneade’s has two locations, Owings and Lusby, servicing Calvert County and two new locations, Charlotte Hall and Leonardtown, servicing St Mary’s County.

Our company was founded in 1975 in North Beach, Maryland and has been growing ever since. In September 29, 1989 we purchased the former Owings Lumber and expanded the building to a 14,000 square foot hardware/lumber supply store. Our refurbishments included a unique, covered drive-thru lumber facility, which offers a great convenience for our customers.

In October of 1996 we purchased Solomons Home Center located in the southern part of Calvert County and converted it to Sneade’s Ace Home Center. With the continued growth of our business, we outgrew our 8,000 square foot facility in Solomons, Maryland. We were very excited to design and open a new 14,000 square foot facility in Lusby, Maryland in July of 2002. In October 2003, we began constructing our completely covered drive-thru lumberyard, which makes our lumber service unique. Another exciting addition is our new gift Shoppe “Unexpected Elements” which is located to the right as you first walk into our new beautiful Sneade’s Ace Home Center @ Owings, Maryland.

We are now excited to announce we have expanded our Lusby facility even more.  In  April 2014, we opened our doors to a newly re-designed retail floor and garden center.  The Lusby store has an estimated 22,000 square foot retail floor space.  In addition to the expanded floor space we have added  a beautiful garden center which hosts our live plants and garden landscape products.  Another exciting addition is our new gift Shoppe “Unexpected Elements” which is located to the right as you first walk into  Sneade’s Ace Home Center @ Lusby, Maryland.

In October 2020, we purchased Charlotte Hall Ace and Leonardtown Ace in St. Mary’s County.  We finished our conversation to Sneade’s Ace Home Center in March 2021. We do not have a drive-thru lumberyard at these two locations but we carry a broad diversity of core products including hardware, paint, plumbing, electrical, seasonal, lawn and garden and gift Shoppe “Unexpected Elements” which is located to the right as your first walk into Sneade’s Ace Home Center @ Charlottle Hall and @ Leonardtown.

We are proud to serve our retail and contractor business with a broad diversity of core products including hardware, paint, plumbing, electrical, seasonal, lawn and garden and building materials (Owings & Lusby only). Our uniqueness comes from not only providing high quality products, but also the best customer service to our valued customers and local businesses. This dedication to providing unsurpassed customer satisfaction, from our courteous and knowledgeable staff is what separates Sneade’s from its competition.
