Quality materials. Honest service. Lasting relationships.
For years, Wakarebe Timber & Hardware has helped turn ideas, plans and ambitions into homes, businesses and lasting structures. From carefully selected timber to the essential materials that bring a project together, we are here to help builders, contractors, fundis and homeowners build with confidence — wherever their project takes them.
A Legacy of Quality
Wakarebe Timber & Hardware began as a dream in 2012 — a small timber yard in the heart of Gikomba with a simple mission: to provide quality building materials to the people of Nairobi.
Today, we've grown into a leading supplier of premium timber, doors, hardware, paints, and building materials. But our core values remain unchanged — quality, integrity, and reliability.
Every board, every door, every nail we supply carries the promise of excellence — because we believe that building a better Nairobi starts with building better.
